ENGL 2000 The Man in the Well By Ira Sher The entire time I was reading this story I couldn’t decide how I felt.

This paragraph almost immediately forces you to do a double take. When you first start reading and hear about the

In short‚ in “Cheer up‚ it’s just the end of the world‚” Ira Chernus discusses that an apocalypse is a genuine ongoing threat today. Since biblical times‚ apocalyptic stories always begin with the fact that the end is near; then‚ after the world ends‚ a new one will arise. Some apocalyptic ideas suggest that the world will end abruptly‚ while other ideas suggest a slow approach. Chernus adds that some ideas of apocalypses have shifted from “’the end of everything‚’" to “’the end of anything’” (Chernus

Class divisions were engrained
