questioned and consumerism thrived within society. Christina Rossetti’s “Goblin Market”, alludes to the issues of Victorian society related to consumerism and gender, and provides readers an awareness to the dangers of consumerism through fiction.

The Giver Are things as good as they seem? Are things as good as they seem? This is the reoccurring question I ask as I read Lois Lowry’s “The Giver.” As the story begins, Jonas, the main character, is having trouble finding the “precise” word to describe his feelings about the communities upcoming, Ceremony of Twelve. His determination to find just the absolute, exact word causes an uneasiness, a sense of something “not quite right”, it foreshadows future predicaments and turmoil ahead
