Camus's "The Guest" (pp. 1580-97).
As the story ends, Daru seems to be threatened with a consequence he doesn’t deserve. Is this just? Is there any way he could have created a good outcome? Why do you think Camus chooses to end the story this way?
As it has been indicated in the post, Daru’s situation is one that portrays the diverse view through which the society perceives an individual. In the need to seek to establish a good rapport with the society, Daru lets the prisoner decide on which way to go-the escape route or the way ...

1) The article was written in the first person point of view. The narrator is the character speaking for his self.

Readers always want something good to happen in a story, and leading the story into murder and lies creates tension. It is similar in the Tell-Tale Heart.

Character sketch #1: The Character of the Narrator

Since my story is in first person, the narrator of the story presents my point of view. This character is at first a young female student full of ambition yet with a negative sense of self.

‘Name’

‘Instructor’s Name’
‘Hills Like White elephants’, written by Ernest Hemingway, is one of those rare stories which does not fall under any of the plot category prescribed by Christopher Booker.

The man referred as American is trying to convince his female companion to undergo an operation. The American repeatedly says that it is up to her to decide on it but he says that rather unconvincingly, and is ...

Guy de Maupassant

Having live a short life (1850-1893), Guy de Maupassant’s has been unsurprisingly remembered for its economy of his writing. It is clear that he is praised for the structure and form in his stories as opposed to his shortened career. Moore in his articles examines him as an example of naturalistic author, whose reactions to Romanticism included a disdain for fantastic plots, making of their works “merely a series of scenes” (Moore 96). In Shire's work, she also discusses de Maupassant's relationship to naturalism, particularly in the characters' relationships to animals (p 48). The most remarkable thing in his writing is their ...

1. Context: It is apparent that this photo was taken in broad daylight since the intense sunlight has been indicated by the distinct shadow of the girl’s body that is visible on the wall.

It can be assumed that something compellingly unknown lies on the other side of that dark, circular window.
2. Character: The only character in the image is the young girl, who is wearing in a bright white dress, while her shoulders and arms ...

The plot of the 2011 Chinese wuxia film Shaolin, in which a disgraced Chinese general (Andy Lau) learns humility and honor with the help of the art of Shaolin (and an eccentric mentor played by Jackie Chan), follows the 12-stage Joseph Campbell hero's journey fairly closely.

1. In J. K. Rowling's Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, schoolmaster Albus Dumbledore says, "It is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities." How do you interpret this statement in light of what you know about motivation?

I think this statement contains so much wisdom. One’s character – which is made up of individual choices – defines who the person is more than how much he can do in life because of his abilities. For instance, a person may be very skilled in the use of technology. He is so adept in ...

1. Discuss what determines an individual’s Personality characteristics
Some people are loud and aggressive while others are quiet and passive. Why is this so? This question can only be answered by understanding the issue of individual personality characteristics. They are an enduring part of emotions, thoughts and behaviors that characterize an individual. They are; external traits which are observable, internal states such as thoughts and situational adjustment. According to McShane & Glinow (2010), personality can be described as the manner in which a person interacts with others or reacts to others. As such, personality is defined using measurable traits ...

The world of literature has changed tremendously over the past ten years. Long gone are the days when our Australian literary artists delved on the traditional stereotypes that encompassed gender stereotypes. Gone are those days that the artist’s concern was the role of man as a dominating factor in the Australian home: And the woman being thought of as the weaker sex: who could not work in the factories and take prestigious posts when they were allowed to work. As the short story writers, we should go beyond traditions into the writing for developmental purposes.

Discussion on Hispanic Poetry

It was a great delight to read the book “Platero and I” by Juan Ramón Jiménez as it appeared to be light, easy and gentle. I do not remember coming across a story in which the author puts so much effort into describing an animal that is not only his friend but also a soul mate. I enjoyed reading those paragraphs which are dedicated to the description of the donkey. Jiménez has chosen such tender and warm words to describe Platero that every reader will immediately fall in love with this soft and hairy donkey “made ...

Because Plato valued reason and logic above anything else, he would have much to say about the sentence reporting that Louise showed “not a glance of reflection, but rather indicated a suspension of intelligent thought” (Chopin). Plato would probably criticize the author who happened not only to come up with the idea that a human being could cease having accurate and objective understanding of what was going around but also offered this idea to the potential readership. So the sentence under discussion shows underestimation of the crucial importance of understanding the reality properly. Plato would surely state ...

1.0 Observation
Having gone through “A Doll House”, there was a personal observation to the effect that the author relies on literary methods to elaborate the broader status of human life in a society. In perspective, these elements of the story seem to either be the traits of the characters, their experiences, or the setting of the story. These experiences are brought out using literal methods to paint a picture in the mind of the reader.

For instance, the play A Doll's House, the author majorly focuses on the use of secondary characters to dramatically contrast with ...

Introduction
It is not every day of your life that you have an adventure. Adventures are supposed to be hair-raising and goose bumping, and are supposed to occur once in maybe twenty years. When I had a series of heart-stopping adventures on a short trip to Colorado, I realized that there are exceptions to the rule. As a person, I grew up more rapidly in my trip to Colorado than I have grown at any point in my life.

Tennyson's poem “Ulysses” combines the Dante’s and Homer’s story of the king Ulysses or Odysseus story to create a long monologue that Ulysses gives detailing his boredom at being in Ithaca, and his desire to return to the adventurous life he lived before. Many critics declare that Tennyson's poem reflects his personal desire to overcome the death of his best friend, Hallam. In fact, Tennyson wanted to keep on living his life with all the negative and positive changes that mirrored the life of Ulysses. Ideally, “Ulysses” is a dramatic monologue that includes the persona’s critical situation that ...

The playwright that I support is Art by Yasmina Reza. In this play, Art regards the catastrophic outcome on three friends, and when one of the buys a work that is expensive —a huge painting containing white lines on a canvas that was white. This play relates more to our play because everyone in Art is selfish and self- centered. In our play, instead of recognizing the elephant in the room, which is the suicide, everyone’s focus is on their own issues just like in the Art where three men engage in an continuing debate over the worth of the painting, ...

Introduction

You might say that plays are getting obsolete with time, and the big screen movies are gaining dominance over other forms of media and entertainment. But the truth is that drama and plays have always been an integral part of entertainment. Even today, in houses, plays are preferred over high-end movies and concerts. Plays make spending time with family easier and fun-filled. Where movies come for a high cost and generally span for about more than a couple of hours, plays are comparatively affordable both time and money-wise.

Introduction

While they claim that a picture is worth a thousand words, it may portray different meanings depending on culture. Music is extraordinary; it is a universal language that is discrimination free. Music is a language that conveys emotion across all cultures. Regardless of the previous exposure or culture, individuals can watch or listen to a song and detect whether a song contains happiness, fear and sadness. Music is thus a language that considers each person’s interest, taste and preference with no bias. On understanding that music is a language, the second point to consider is that music as a language reveals our identity. Music is a language that ...
