    In The Saloon on the Prairie: The Family and the Saloon in Braidwood, Illinois, 1865-1883 Steven Barleen challenges the common historical interpretation that working class saloon culture was primarily a place for single men, who worked in hard, industrial jobs, to drown their pain in alcohol. Barleen also challenges the commonly held contemporary middle class view that Braidwood saloons bred a culture of violence. What he found instead was that far from being a male-dominated world prone to mayhem, Braidwood saloons were gathering and recreational places for men, women, and even children. In times of trouble and hardship or events they could celebrate, the Braidwood community sought each other out in their local pubs.

Throughout Jack London’s, “The Call of the Wild,” the author paints many all too vivid pictures in the reader’s mind of how work dogs were beaten or mistreated during the Alaskan gold rush. While these descriptions of how the dogs were treated serve the obvious purpose of furthering the plot on the surface, are they also used to convey the message of what kind of people the owners? A way to determine if this is so is to examine the perspectives of two of the owners regarding work dogs, the man known as the Scotch Half-Breed and Mercedes, and develop conclusions about their personalities from that information.

  • Examples Of Greed In The Pardoner's Tale

    832 Words  | 4 Pages

    Greed is one of the most destructive forces known to mankind and it can ruin our lives. We can all learn from stories when people were greedy and had to deal with the potentially deadly consequences. This theory is displayed in the short story “The Pardoner’s” Tale written by Geoffrey Chaucer when greed literally caused the main characters to die. The Pardoner’s Tale was the better story in my opinion because the story’s plot had a nice flow to it and kept the story moving, the theme hit me harder because that’s what the focus of the story was, and the author gave some interesting ways of making inanimate objects come to life and have an effect on the plot.
