The fact that Etter had no intended audience other than himself while he wrote these journals‚ means readers get a better view into the mind of a young soldier. In contrast‚ The Papers of Ulysses S. Grant‚ is almost entirely a collection of letters Grant wrote to his then fiancé Julia Dent.

Truth be told‚ Joyce’s novel Ulysses contains the work of a lifetime. Although not always easy to understand‚ the novel is created so that readers have to search throughout the novel to find answers. With a fascination for the supernatural and the macabre‚ “Hades” was by far the most intriguing chapter to analyse. Not only do we get a glimpse of Joyce’s idea of Hell‚ but also Bloom’s descent‚ and escape‚ from the Underworld. All great heroes must undergo a journey. However‚ a hero’s voyage cannot

Ulysses hair smelling like wax and Odysseus telling his men to put wax in their ears is enough to avoid the Sirens mystical song in each movie.
