    happens in real life and in literature. A man who goes against tragedy caused by nature‚ human or himself is considered great and honorable. Two works of literature that illustrate the quote as I have explained it are Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe and Night by Elie Wiesel. Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe is a good example of this statement because the protagonist‚ Robinson Crusoe‚ ensures his survival through storms‚ enslavement‚ and twenty-eight

    Many satires use irony and/or humor to entertain their audience while at the same time present a serious topic. The satires “The Little Girl and the Wolf‚” and “The Princess and the Tin Box” both by James Thurber‚ use the literary techniques of irony/humor in order to expose a serious message. In “The Little Girl and the Wolf” Thurber changes the plot-line of the fairy-tale “Little Red Riding Hood.” In his “The Princess and the Tin Box” Thurber changes the princess’ actions than what the reader

    Prize Speech. I agree with the quotation. In the story Night by Elie Wiesel‚ many elements correspond to the quote and to the idea of silence and complicity. Wiesel says in his book that many different people were silent because they were not directly affected by the Holocaust‚ and thought that if they did something to try to stop it‚ then they themselves would get hurt. He also explained how people like Moshe the Beadle and other characters in Night who were humiliated by fellow Jews did not believe

    Trust is one of those things that are nice to have‚ but really is not needed. The statement “It is impossible to go through life without trust” by Graham Greene‚ may not be entirely correct. Our group disagrees with the statement. There are many times that trust just is not an option. A Streetcar Named Desire and The Crucible are a very good example of how an individual could be lacking trust. A Streetcar Named Desire by Tennessee Williams shows how trust is not required in one’s life. The

    Evaluating fiction is not based on which piece of literature is a better story‚ or was written by a more profound author‚ instead‚ literature can be loosely evaluated by two main judgments. First‚ each piece should be reviewed as to how fully it connects to the central purpose‚ or theme of the work. Each element of the story should contribute to the central theme in a well executed story. Second‚ each work should be judged by how powerful the purpose is. This can cause differing judgements between

    Britanee Gugel "It is only with the heart that one can see rightly"‚ was once said by Antoine De Saint-Exupery. This is an accurate quote to live by and refer to daily since following your instincts is usually the best decision for yourself. It leads you to do exactly what you want to do‚ instead of anyone getting to your mindset. This quote can also be shown in literature-characters go through hardships within there own minds. But when a third party expresses their own opinion of the problem

    Marena Cassetta 3/8/12 Period 8 Tito/Brill Hamlet Essay Alexander Solzhenitsyn once said “Good literature substitutes for an experience that we ourselves have not lived through.” By this Solzhenitsyn meant that literature often gives us scenarios and conflicts that we might not experience in our lifetime. This is shown through the literary work Hamlet by William Shakespeare. After reading Hamlet I disagree with this quote because authors often exaggerate the truth to

    “In literature evil often triumphs but never conquers.” This means that in literature there is often a case where evil wins a battle but it never wins a war. This consensus seems reasonable because most books or movies the characters overcome the evil. This is especially true in the novel Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson. Evil may appear to be dominating‚ but in the end‚ good prevails. The major evil that Melinda‚ overcomes is that she has been raped. This is the main conflict of the story. This

    “Vaulting ambition‚ which o’erleaps itself And falls on the other.” This means ambition can cause people to have desire to do things at a much faster rate. I agree with this statement because if a person has a reason for what they’re doing they tend to achieve their goals faster. However in the play Macbeth the main character Macbeth gave up his morals and beliefs to become king and receive the power which motivated him to do unreasonable things. When the three witches told Macbeth their prediction
