Imagine that you are going into the Civil war and not knowing anything about weapons, of combat, or the fact that there are about nine different steps to loading a musket. That is what Henry Fleming the main character of The Red Badge of Courage written by Stephen Crane had to do.

Conflict is one of the most basic elements of natural human behavior. Conflict, from a literary standpoint, serves its purpose to create tension within a story, which as a result keeps readers interested and engaged. Whether the conflict is with another person, with nature, or within yourself, it is ubiquitous and unavoidable. In Stephen Crane’s The Red Badge of Courage, the struggles that Henry faces help to give depth and meaning to the story, as well as develop Henry as a character. In the novel, conflict is used to show the reality of war and the effect it can have on a person. Throughout the length of the story, Henry deals with conflicts that relate to nature, other men, and even some in particular that lie within his own person. These

What is the point behind Mark Millar’s Red Son? Hint: it’s not what you think. Well maybe it is but there are a lot of opinions out there. Mark Millar himself states that it is to vilify America’s foreign policy but he also admits to writing it because Superman needed publicity. There is also the opinion that it is simply for entertainment, just a cool story. But could it be that this tale is about Superman returning to his roots as a character, showing that the old Superman could never have panned out? All of these elements are present in Red Son but the main lesson that should be learned is that Superman has grown away from his beginnings and has learned that power isn’t his calling, Superman needs to be seen as the icon he is now. No better
