For our final essay‚ we are given two articles in order to examine and compare with one another. The first of the two selections is “Separating” by John Updike. The second piece of reading is entitled “Everyday Use” by Alice Walker. Both articles were written in the early 1970s‚ and are both from the short story genre; However‚ both authors had different ways of thinking and expressing themselves due to their differences in age‚ gender‚ ethnicity‚ race‚ and personal influences.

Updike wrote a story called "A+P". In this story there is a very complex character‚ his name is Sammy. This story was written in 1961. It is currently the year of 2015‚ and people are still debating whether Sammy is a heroic character or not.

Our sense of identity can never be constant Identity and belonging are inter-related; they go like peas in a pod. The groups we choose to belong to and the ways we connect with others help to form our own identity. Together‚ these issues go to the heart of who we are and how we present ourselves to the world. One human quality that we all share‚ despite our individual identities‚ is the need to belong. It is a paradox that we long to be free‚ to be who we truly are and yet we yearn to belong to

theme of Death and Impermanence. I chose death because of the unknowns of death and how people face their fears and accept death‚ how people go through their ending days and facing their everlasting time with God. I chose “Dog’s Death” by John Updike (1993) and “Used to live Here” by Jean Rhys (1976). One is a poem and one is a short story and they are about death‚ which makes them similar to each other‚ but at the same time different. How the poem and the story show how they cope with death
