765 Words4 Pages

Tallgrass takes place during WWII in a small farming community, but everything starts to change when the government opens a work camp in Ellis. Not only does the arrival of Japanese people stir up the town but the murder of Susan Reddick leads everyone in Ellis to believe that a Japanese worker is responsible. The second book I will be talking about is The Wedding by Nicholas Sparks. In The Wedding a couple has found themselves not in love with each other anymore after being married for thirty year. Wilson has found himself regretting not spending time at home, not being a good husband and, not showing his love for his wife Jane. In this journal I will be explaining how Rennie is searching for the truth about what happened to her close friend Susan Reddick. Next, I will be giving examples of how Wilson was searching for loving in The Wedding. Lastly, I will be explaining how Jane was searching for …show more content…

After realized she wasn’t in love with her husband anymore I think Jane was at a crossroads. She could have decided to figure out her life without her husband or try and restore her marriage that didn’t have much meaning anymore. After a long marriage jane was very heart by the person who was suppose to care about her the most. “Did you really forget your anniversary?” (Sparks 18). After Wilson showed how much he loves his wife by planning the wedding I think Janes mind was cleared. I think she realized why she married Wilson and fell in love with him again. As I read Tallgrass and the Wedding I could see many examples of love, truth, and identity. I think that Rennie was a good example of what finding truth means and I think Wilson showed what it means to look for love in an unusual way. Lastly I think Jane is a good example of someone searching for their identity because after a long marriage I think it would be difficult to decide what to do in a situation like

    She loses herself, as I would imagine Sophie to do after a life time of oppression. Jane saw a woman in the wall, and then became her. She took on that identity, and in her mind, then became free of ruling and imprisonment. All of my sympathy for any of the other characters in this work went solely to Jane. Her obvious mental instability made the story difficult for me to read- not because it’s what’s wrong with her, but what’s wrong with professional medical abuse, which especially back then was an ongoing problem in addition to today.

  • Pride And Prejudice Truth Analysis

    1633 Words  | 7 Pages

    In Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austin often portrays that some facts are perceived as the truth but are actually lies. Austin consistently illustrates that certain details are falsely presumed to be the truth. She shows the reader the characters’ understanding of the story but then later reveals the actual truth. Additionally, she also indicates that this misperception of the truth is often caused by the reliance of one on emotions and feelings to obtain the truth rather than reason and rationality. Throughout the story, the reader can conclude that Austin’s reasoning behind the characters constant misunderstanding of the truth is that when choosing what to believe as the truth, one instinctively involves emotions and sentiments which would be
