Rosamund Lupton‚ a renowned author‚ once wrote “I get up and pace the room‚ as if I can leave my guilt behind me. But it tracks me as I walk‚ an ugly shadow made by myself.” These words accurately describe one’s feelings after betrayal‚ such as the one portrayed by Khaled Hosseini. In the novel The Kite Runner‚ Hosseini uses the journey of Amir to represent that when man betrays‚ he will feel guilt‚ but ultimately find redemption. Because Amir is feeling distanced from his father‚ he is driven to

In “Waiting for Godot” by Samuel Beckett and “Chronicles of a Death Foretold” by Gabriel Garcia Marquez‚ the reader is presented with an un-orthodox beginning of story in both novels. While Beckett’s play starts with the antithesis of a usual opening line “Nothing to be done”‚ Marquez’s novel does the same “On the day they were going to kill him‚ Santiago Nasar” thus condemning the novel to a foretold destiny. These approaches withdraw any initial suspense that the novel or play could offer; this

Despite William Shakespeare’s Othello being a story written in a language that is extremely difficult for me to interpret‚ I found that I related more than I expected. The word betrayal is defined as the action of betraying one’s country‚ a group‚ or a person. This drama was similar to a scenario I had to endure when my twin brother‚ Eric chose a woman and betrayed his best friend‚ Daniel. It took me some time to discover the similarities between the two stories‚ but now I understand Shakespeare’s

"The Heidi Chronicles" by Wendy Wasserstein kept my interest so much that I could not put it down until I was to the last page. I liked how the issue of sexuality played a role along with the issue of feminist goals in this play. I believe they complimented one another in that both groups strive for equal right among the majority. For example when Peter starts to march with the other women from the Art Institute. It shows that he is standing for a cause the effects another minority group in our

Madelyn Gilmore Witt P. 5 Betrayal Speech Betrayal is a tricky thing. For instance‚ you do something that goes against another person’s beliefs/actions‚ but you’re doing what you think is right. In a recent poll of 175 high school students over half of them had said that they were betrayed by a friend or a loved one‚ but then later on realized that the betrayal was for a good reason. One student (who wished to remain anonymous) that we talked to was nice enough to share her story. “At first I was

If the Martian Chronicles had been written in the 1999’s instead of fifty years ago‚ many issues and problems would change. Ray Bradbury wrote his book in 1946. In it he wrote about problems such as censorship‚ man’s cruelty to man‚ and loneliness. Each issue shows up in one or two of his chronicles. All of his issues affect every one of his characters in many different ways. Censorship is a main problem or issue today‚ and in the book it shows up in one of his chronicles‚ "Usher II". In
