    There are many reasons to support the question on why students should read the book “The Ninth Ward” written by Jewell Parker Rhodes before leaving middle school. One reason to support the aforementioned question is that students should at least know the feeling or even the taste of how it is like to be without a family. In this mentioned book a 12-year-old girl Lanesha is lost.

    Survival doesn’t always come easy, most of the time you will have to make decisions that will make others judge you, whether you like it or not. For example, if someone left their friend to save themselves, should these people be held accountable for their actions? People shouldn’t be held accountable for those actions because when it comes to life or death that’s so much pressure to that person so of course they’re going to make mistakes and everyone makes mistakes we just have to learn from them.

  • Invisible Man Literary Analysis

    1453 Words  | 6 Pages

    Ralph Ellison’s Invisible Man, despite following the racial and sexual struggles of a black protagonist, has multiple references to Greek mythology. Most of these references are literary allusions, meaning they hold a cultural significance that Ellison includes to enhance the understanding of events and emotions. Interestingly, the references often relate to either the Brotherhood or the context in which the Brotherhood becomes attractive to the narrator. The purpose of this, however, is not revealed. Due to a lack of scholarly discussion beyond acknowledging the references, this essay investigates the question: what is the purpose of ancient-Greek references in Ralph Ellison’s Invisible Man in context of the Brotherhood?

Within the novel, I.M. is proven to be emotional, naive, and has undergone traumatic events in the course of the novel.

    Stephen King’s “The Running Man” is a very tough book to summarise. There are many things that happen throughout it, but due to the nature of the situation, in the end everything around Ben Richards gets destroyed, causing many things that may seem to be key events to have very little impact on the ending of the story. The basic story, removing all of these elements, is that a man named Ben Richards is living an impoverished life in some random town in the U.S., and signs up for a death game called The Running Man to make a whole bunch of money so he can get his daughter’s pneumonia treated. The whole idea of The Running Man is that a man goes on the run for 30 days from the authorities and a group of people called the hunters who are chasing
