The topic of one’s mortality and the complexities of life and death are introduced from the beginning of Shakespeare’s Hamlet. Michael Neill’s literary response on Hamlet rubs on the perception when one dies; they just become a part of the cycle of dust. However‚ his response neglects the fact that you leave a legacy behind for the living to remember. Neill summarizes that “even the mightiest mortals‚ like the legendary Alexander the Great‚ inevitably succumbed to death” (112) in the end. Others

The Outsiders Literary Response Recently‚ some young or old black group members would call each other N****. One of the reasons why is because maybe they think that they’re very close friends‚ and the same skin color that it is ok to call them that name. This would sometimes happen by tossing the name around a little bit in jokes‚ but then when they start to use it towards their friends. The person wouldn’t care since their good friends. If a random person called someone a N*****‚ and they didn’t

Erika Fuller “Good Country People” Flannery O’Connor’s dismissal of the outside world allows you to understand more of the symbolic quality of all of the active characters. Even the names she chooses for each character help her to establish their significance in the story. O’Connor uses symbolism‚ good versus evil and the psychological and physiological problems of the characters to create irony in “Good Country People”. O’Connor also uses Biblical parallels for inspiration to depict events in

Commentary on the Reader Response Method of Literary Analysis Reader response criticism raises the question of where literary meaning resides- in the literary text‚ in the reader‚ or in the interactive space between text and reader. In other words the text itself has no meaning until it is read and interpreted by the reader. This analysis can take into account the strategies employed by the author to elicit a certain response from readers. It denies the possibility that works are universal (i

wrote this paper for my Honors Food for Thought class in Spring 2012. The class focused on analyzing how food is a part of our culture‚ and it was one of the most interesting and unique classes I have taken. For this research paper‚ we were asked to pick any food topic and form a thesis/argument while incorporating both memoir and research. This was a different assignment than I was used to‚ because for most other research papers‚ we never combined the creative writing aspect of memoir. Combining

‘’The Music man’’ Response ‘’The music man" is a play that was written for entertainment to make people laugh which is a good thing‚ because it helps to release stress. The play was not just entertaining it was romantic‚ touching and unique from other musical plays I have seen. Yes‚ the play was not based on realism‚ for example in real life we don’t see people doing choreography with the same moves. It’s funny because I still saw some real life situation in the

Big Black good Man and Battle Royal I believe Richard Wright’s story "Big Black Good Man" was written in a time when racial prejudice was a major factor in society. In Today’s society we still have racial prejudice‚ but it is not as strong as back then. The point in which Richard Wright wanted to get by writing this story is that people should "never judge others by their race”. In the story‚ Olaf mentioned Jim was not the first black man he serviced‚ but he started to make drama of Jim’s
