Antigone was a touching story that really pulled on me in regards to family and how we are meant to fight for that. I love how Antigone still paid her respects to her brother regardless of her uncles wishes and went with what he felt was correct. Even if, Creon should have buried Polynesis because if not his spirit would rome around forever if not ( Read more... )

I really did enjoy “A Doll’s House” by Ibsen. Especially in comparison to Hamlet. It was a lot easier to understand and imagine while reading. What I enjoyed about the play is all the secrets. I loved how Nora has secrets and so do all the other characters in the play. All the blackmail and difficult positions such as the one that Nora is in with ( Read more... )

Hamlet… Oh Hamlet. As I am sure most of you can relate, this was a very difficult read. The only reason why I struggled so much is because I genuinely could not understand what was happening throughout the story. Even during the movie, I just could not follow the story. I wish I could! Hamlet is a famous story that I wish I could have learned from ( Read more... )

I love stories that contain curiosity such as the story “The Very Old Man With Enormous Wings” by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. A story about a mysterious man with enormous wings draws a lot of attention from the audience and keeps them readers wanting to know what will happen or what the purpose of this story is. Commonly people assume that the man is ( Read more... )

“A Worn Path” by Eudora Welty is a beautiful story about a grandmother that goes on a life-threatening journey for her grandson. The reason she goes on this journey is because her grandson is severely ill and is in need of medication. The medication is found more into town, which is why the grandmother goes. While on her journey she encounters ( Read more... )

“Happy Endings” by Margaret Atwood is a very unique short story written in the early 1980’s to describe the different outcomes life has to offer. Personally, I see the poem as a darker outlook on life and where different choices lead us. Choice A gives us the brightest outcome, yet it is a cookie cutter outcome. It is unreal for life to turn out ( Read more... )

I am one of those people that at my best, I truly try to find the best in others. When reading “A Good Man is Hard to Find” by O’Connor, I really related with the grandmother by the end of the poem as to how she treated the misfit. It is ironic that in the poem, the misfit is introduced by the grandmother as a crazy man of whom they might encounter ( Read more... )

“A Supermarket in California” by Ginsberg is a fantastic poem about capitalist America. Personally, I am content with how America is ran as is relates to capital and better opportunity. I believe in networking and putting people together to create something big. Back to the poem, there are a lot of assumptions that I would like to point out and ( Read more... )

So, there always two sides to a story, right? “The Wolf’s Postscript to ‘Little Red Riding Hood’” by Ali is the perfect proof of this statement. Before anyone gets thoroughly educated on the poem “Red Riding Hood”, people commonly assume that the wolf is left to completely blame. But if we begin to dig deeper into the story, it seems that a lot ( Read more... )

So, I am doing some research on JStor for Fight Club and one of the articles I read ended with ONE HUNDRED AND FOURTEEN citations!!!!!!!
