Waiting In Line At The Drugstore While reading “Waiting In Line At The Drugstore” by James Thomas Jackson‚ I was filled with utter disgust. I knew that the discrimination and racism in the 1930s was dreadful‚ but this was unthinkably repugnant. Jackson paints such a vivid picture with his harrowingly descriptive words that I couldn’t help but feel empathetic and share his strong resentment towards the “whites”. Throughout the story‚ he expresses how he feels discomfort being in the presence

LOTF Ch. 11: 2 RRLs LOTF Ch. 11: 2 RRLs PIGGY: “What you goin’ to do‚ Ralph? This is jus’ talk without deciding.” (p. 170) For most of the novel‚ this has been true. Ralph‚ as a leader‚ should have been quicker and more able to take action in the beginning of their arrival at the island. I think that maybe if Ralph had taken action quicker‚ and was more firm‚ then things wouldn’t have spiraled out of control into this. Ralph must feel horrible‚ since he was elected chief at first.

Samuel Beckett described his Waiting for Godot as a tragicomedy. To what extent is this is an accurate description? Would you say there is more tragedy than comedy or a mixture of both? Through the use of many linguistic‚ structural and comic features‚ Samuel Beckett’s Waiting For Godot successfully places a wayfaring line between the two genres of tragedy and comedy. With the opening showing the two main characters Vladimir (Didi) and Estragon (Gogo) in a barren setting with useless props such as
