  • Johnny Curtain Book Report

    726 Words  | 3 Pages

    Johnny Tremain Paper By: Jules Woodward When Johnny Tremain was written in 1943, thousands of U.S. servicemen and women had already died in World War II, and unfortunately thousands more would die by the time the war ended in 1945. If the book was published in the middle of World War II, when the United States and Great Britain were allies, why would Esther Forbes release a book about the American Revolution when America and Great Britain were at a disagreement and eventually were at war? I think there are multiple reasons why she could have done this, but the prominent one to me is that one of the messages I saw in this book, was a thought of “Instead of hating Great Britain, remember that we wouldn’t be who we are today without them, even if we did have to break away from them.”

  • The Man With The Twisted Lip By Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

    834 Words  | 4 Pages

    Literary texts in which London is the primary setting often discuss the crime that exists within the city. In some, such as Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s ‘The Man with the Twisted Lip’, crime and its prevalence in London drives the central storyline. In others, crime feeds into the overall representation of the city that the text presents, as in John Gay’s Trivia, or, the Art of Walking the Streets of London. By writing the city in relation to the crime within, both Gay and Doyle create a London that by its nature enables and aids crime, and use its presence to facilitate the distinct messages within their texts.
