Budge Wilson, in “The Metaphor,” writes about Ms. Hancock, a beloved teacher. Charlotte writes a metaphor in seventh grade relating her mother to a cold, grey building. When Wilson writes about Ms. Hancock, she describes her as being colorful and warm. Charlotte saw Ms. Hancock more as a mother figure than her own mother. However, when Ms. Hancock stops being her teacher, Charlotte starts to become more like her mother. Although, when Ms. Hancock dies, she breaks free of the hold of her mother and is “born” a new person. In the end, Charlotte realizes that adults can not see the beauty in people like Ms.Hancock, yet children can. Through juxtaposition, symbolism, and irony, Wilson describes Charlotte’s self-realization of life.

In the short story “Sucker”, by Carson McCullers, creates a bond between Peter and his younger cousin, Richard. The author teaches the reader a lesson about friendship. She feels that the way Peter treated Sucker was wrong and that friendship is a fragile thing. The text is narrated from Peter’s perspective and the way Peter narrates the story makes it clear that he regretted treating his cousin. When he reflects on his past, he says that “if I could have seen ahead maybe I would have acted different” (McCullers 69). Clearly, this shows that the author doesn’t agree with how Peter treated Sucker because Peter expresses his remorse and acknowledges that he was wrong in the way he acted. Friendship is too fragile of a thing to be taken lightly.

Differences among social classes are apparent in every single society; such distinctions were especially visible in the British Isles during the late nineteenth century, the setting of Henry James’s 1891 short story “The Pupil”. James portrays an employer-employee and an employee-client relationship of scorn with its roots in socioeconomic inequality by using devices such as point of view and diction.

There is a clear difference in tone in Amy Tan and Firoozeh Dumas essays. A reader would find Amy’s tone in her essay “Fish Cheeks” to be disappointing and embarrassing. In this essay, Amy Tan narrates about how her family embarrassed and disappointed her during a Christmas Eve dinner. She was disappointed by the actions of her relatives. “My relatives licked the ends of their chopsticks and reached across the table, dipping them into the dozen or so plates of food” (111). Their table manners were horrible and disgusting. Amy was not pleased with this behavior, and she saw her crush, Robert, and his family felt uncomfortable. Despite the embarrassing and disappointing tone in Amy Tan’s essay, Firoozeh Dumas’s tone in her essay is humorous.

Charles R. Swindoll once said: “Prejudice is a learned trait. You’re not born with prejudice; you’re taught it,” (Brainyquotes). Prejudice has been around for as long as man has noticed other unfamiliar humans; and will probably continue until the end of time. Harper Lee mentions prejudice numerous times throughout To Kill a Mockingbird, which is the story of a young girl who learns about the kinds of prejudices (especially racial) in the South through a black man’s trial, her reclusive neighbor, and many other characters to try to become a better person. Learning from history, including To Kill a Mockingbird, and identifying and seeing the faults of prejudices help the reader to become less prejudicial. In the novel To Kill a Mockingbird,

In honor of the return of my eccentric landlord, this week I read Wells Tower’s The Landlord. In the letter I wrote to you, I spoke about wanting to write a quietly horrible story. Though I am not sure Driving Thomas is exactly “quiet,” I do think this story captures that feeling. This story is made of nine short sections. Though the landlord interacts with several tenants, Armando- a good man who is often late with his rent, seems to be the focus of this story. Armando is described in the following way: “Armando lives in one of the worst properties I own, an apartment complex so rife with mold and vermin that, when I sent a man to clean a vacant unit there, he developed an eye infection that didn’t clear up for a month.” There are quite a
