Runaway Theme, Plot and Conflict Theme: Through ‘Runaway’, Alice Munro intends to show that women themselves are the source of the problem as they resist change, especially women like Carla who are so used to their lives in the countryside that they are mostly dependent on the source of income, in this case, Clark. She may have also written this to depict events of her own life, when she divorced her first husband, James Munro to get a sense of real freedom and joy but soon after married a second

Sherwood Anderson is no different, every chapter in Winesburg, Ohio is written to provoke the reader to think about the obvious as well as the hidden ideas.

In A Streetcar Named Desire, Blanche Dubois believes that the opposite of death is desire. Logically speaking, the real opposite of death is life; so why does Blanche believe that it’s desire?

I tap my foot impatiently on the passenger side floorboard, as if I could make Alex drive faster by doing so. In the corner of his eye he notices my fidgeting, and stretches his hand out with his palm facing upward. I lace my fingers between his and look at our locked hands, my silver wedding band visible. My thoughts remain ever focused on our destination, and as we get closer, my former excitement is replaced by nervous energy. I close my eyes in a futile attempt to blink away the fear. When I

The toy/game that I have created would be called the iPortrait, in which a parent/caregiver/teacher can purchase either one frame and interchange the portrait within, or for a classroom setting have multiple frames with many interchangeable portraits.

The iPortrait is used to promote

History is an extremely vast subject that covers an enormous amount of events that occurred in the past. While it is difficult to keep exact records of those happenings, it is however, traceable. Growing up in a different country, American history was the least of my concerns, but the 1301 class filled me in with a lot of information. However, this class shed a different light upon the U.S History, very different from the ones I learned in the previous class. I believe that including the book “Lies
