    Madame Bovary 1. Discuss the theme of social class in Madame Bovary. Is Emma a sophisticated aristocrat in a bourgeoisie prison‚ or is she simply a Middle-class girl obsessed with a richer life?

    The Giver I chose Chapter 5 of this book because I thought it was very interesting‚ how it relates to teenagers in real life since they get those same sort of feelings called “Stirrings” as said in the book.

The book relates a lot to kids their age. Though the book gives a simple way to solve the problem‚ many wish it could be

    Red Grief People use literary devices in their speech every day. However‚ few people know what they’re called. In his short story “The Whirligig of Life” O Henry demonstrates five common examples of literary devices. The first example of figurative language is in the very beginning of the excerpt‚ “The Ransom of Red Chief”. O Henry ironically uses the simile “as flat as a flannel cake” to describe the town of Summit. The irony is that the flat town of Summit doesn’t contain a single summit. The
