The book review herein, and critical literary analysis seeks to present a cogent, well-thought out evaluation of the work written by Sherman Alexie entitled ‘The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian.’ At the outset, it is important to note that the main literary device the writer uses is a personal, first-person perspective and narrative. The tone is frank, casual and simple-structured English. Also, as the author provides myriad vignettes and short anecdotal stories throughout the book, the reader has an opportunity to deeply feel empathy for Alexie’s protagonist – but, sometimes cannot decipher whether to laugh or cry.

Jonathan Kozol’s book The Shame of a Nation discusses and examines the incredibly prevalent issue of wealth and income inequality as it relates to education. In short, the kind of segregation that occurred between black and white during the Jim Crow era of the 20th century is still happening to a large extent, and it is dramatically affecting the lives and educations of many families. Wealth inequality dramatically dictates who goes to school where, and the quality of their education at present prevents them from uplifting themselves into any kind of better future. Social mobility is at a standstill, as the ...

Rape is an act of violence against the will of the victim. It is defined as “forcing the victim to submit to genital, anal and/or oral sexual acts (SECASA, 2012).” The attacker uses physical force, intimidation and threats to control the situation.

Rape is an arbitrary event in the lifestyle of the victim. It’s unpredictable, sudden, and unexpected (SECASA, 2012). It is a tragic experience that comes with a devastating burden of ...

1. The Social Miracle
T. R. Reid moved to Tokyo, Japan, with his family – composed of his wife and their two daughters – where he lived for five years, as an expatriate employee for the Washington Post. He posits that some Asian nations (such as Japan, South Korea, and Singapore ) have built modern societies within the safest environment, providing the best education for the children, and with probably the most stable families on Earth.

Rapid modernity in the world has actually caused a lot of unique things that have surprised people, caused fear and even made others happy. Transgender is the ability of a person to have desire of being an opposite sex and identify with it everywhere without shame. These kinds of people will always expect respect from the society and have never imagined that they can be underrated. Noelle Howey has shared her story perfectly well through the book Dress Codes: Of Three Girlhoods - My Mother's, My Father's, and Mine.
Throughout her life, Noelle struggled to gain the true affection for ...

Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter is an 1850 novel depicting the treatment of adulterous Hester Prynne in Puritan-era Boston, after her sin is discovered. This depiction of Puritan America is close to the author's heart; having been born in Salem, Massachusetts in 1804, Hawthorne was likely fascinated by his region's Puritan past (particularly his ancestor John Hathorne, who was one of the judges during the Salem witch trials of 1692 (Miller 20-21). In investigating the attitudes and anxieties of the people living in colonial New England, Hawthorne explores the xenophobia, religious intolerance, and daily struggles of the people who ...

The fact that O’Brien makes a contravening statement, by saying that due to his cowardice he went to war, he is illustrating the fact that he does not thirst for glory or feel an innate need to fight for his country. He receives his draft, and the inner perplexity and queasiness at the very idea of war force him to run towards the Canadian border. Still, the culpability about the circumlocution of war and the panic he feels about disappointing his family weigh much more than his own personal beliefs. He joins this whole war experience he abhors, while ...

“Night” is a novella published in 1960 by Elie Wiesel. Originally, he wrote a memoir entitled “Un di Velt Hot Geshvign” in 1956 after a vow of silence for ten years. This staggering, eight-hundred page memoir was then condensed and translated from Yiddish to French into “La Nuit”; eventually translated in English and published as “Night”. This revolutionary novella reflected the cruelty and inhumanity millions suffered in the hands of the Holocaust as reflected by its main character, Eliezer (eNotes Editors). Despite all horrors suffered, justice is still arguably found in the story in the form of Eliezer’s faith.

Wiesel was ...
