Into The Wild

Josh Wein Into The Wild A.P English Into The Wild sends a very clear message about the risks of being adventurous and how we should embrace it instead of just letting life slide by. ?A trancelike state settles over your efforts; the climb becomes a clear-eyed dream. Hours slide by like minutes. The accumulated clutter of day-to-day existence?the lapses of conscience, the unpaid bills, the bungled opportunities, the dust under the couch, the inescapable prison of your genes?all of it is temporarily forgotten, crowded from your thoughts by an overpowering clarity of purpose and by the seriousness of the task at hand.?

Josh Wein The Great Gatsby ? Part 2 A.P. English The main themes that I have found in The Great Gatsby involve the hiding and twisting of facts, how the rich use their social positions to their advantage and others disadvantage, and forgiveness. Chapter 1 ?I waited, and sure enough, in a moment she looked at me with an absolute smirk on her lovely face, as if she had asserted her membership in a rather distinguished secret society to which she and Tom belonged? This is the first case in The Great Gatsby where the rich; in this case Daisy, asserts their position over the less privileged people. In their minds they are higher and better than everyone else and part of a ?rather distinguished secret society? that only they were good enough for. Chapter 2

The Upside of Extremism In 1963, at the height of racial segregation in the southern United States, Martin Luther King Jr. was arrested for a non-violent protest in Birmingham, Alabama. King?s arrest caused many of his religious peers to examine his methods. Eight of his fellow clergymen responded to his actions in a letter that questioned why he found it necessary to protest segregation. In his Letter from a Birmingham Jail, Martin Luther King Jr. addresses his fellow clergymen on the necessity of civil disobedience in overcoming segregation. His primary rhetorical strategies are appeals to religion and patriotism, and while the biblical allusions may at first appear to be his primary method, patriotism takes precedence.

Invisible Man Essay Destiny Mora Invisibility plays a big part in the novel and affects the protagonist in many ways throughout the novel. From the way the author presents the protagonist, he seems to feel invisible in society, but what does this invisibility mean? This invisibility can be characterized by identity and status. On the surface it may seem like society refuses to see him, but the underlying problem that the narrator has s distorted and shapeless self-image caused by racism and oppression. I am invisible, understand, simply because people refuse to see me. Like the bodiless heads you see sometimes in circus sideshows, it is as though I have been surrounded by mirrors of hard, distorting glass. (p. 3)

?The House on Mango Street? by Sandra Cisneros is a story told through the eyes of a young girl struggling with the neighborhood she lives in. Her house on Mango street is not a dream home, but ?temporary, says Papa.? (5) Life on Mango street is not perfect, but Esperenza has a certain sense of hope that she will someday be able to leave and have a life of her own. However, it is not the physical street, or the actual home that she needs to leave, it?s the things that her home represents. Mango street represents a woman, stuck at home, always waiting for some one to come save her from the all controlling man.
