Garden of Eden
Edens Lustgård är skriven av Ernest Hemingway och publicerades år 1986 vilket är 25 år efter hans död den 2 juli 1961. Hemingway levde ett väldigt aktivt liv vilket han speglade i sina noveller och romaner. I sina senare år överlevde han två flygkrascher men skadade njurar och lever men fick på grund av detta ett högt blodtryck. Medicineringen han fick ledde till depression vilket påverkade hans författarskap och gjorde så att han inte kunde skriva. Han började då dricka mer och mer innan han tillslut satte stopp för sitt lidande med ett gevär.

Boken handlar om ett par som är på smekmånad i Frankrike, närmare sagt på den Franska Rivieran. Den äger rum under 1920-talet och jag tror även att det är då författaren menat att man ska tro att den utspelar sig. Jag tror att det finns en anledning till att boken utspelar sig just i Frankrike, t.ex. att Rivieran har någon speciell betydelse för Hemingway, att han var på smekmånad själv med någon av hans fruar där tillexempel. David är författare och Catherine kommer från en rik släkt, David har precis publicerat sin andra novell och har fått bra recensioner. Allt går bra under resan gång tills David börjar skriva på sin tredje novell. När David gör detta märker man att Catherine blir mer och mer förvirrad, hon börjar bli galen. Jag tror att hon blir oerhört svartsjuk på den tid David lägger ner på sin novell, som om att han vore otrogen med den. Hon klipper sitt hår i pojkfrisyrer och tar initiativet att bjuda in en tredje part i deras förhållande, ”Marita” som börjar avguda David och älska Catherine.

Catherine utforskar sin egen sexualitet men går sedan med på att dela David med Marita. Under hela processen märker man att Catherine blir allt mer förvirrad vilket Hemingway beskriver väldigt bra och intressant. När David och Marita sen har sex tillsammans, utan Catherine, blir Catherine helt galen, hon bränner upp allt David har skrivit på sin tredje novell och alla de små historier han har skrivit om sig själv och

    Through his narrator in East of Eden, John Steinbeck says that there is only "one story in the world", that of good and evil (Steinbeck 412). The original story of good and evil can be traced back to the biblical tale of Cain and Abel, from which Steinbeck picked his title and formed many central characters around. In his novel East of Eden, John Steinbeck explores the constant collision between good and evil and forms a parallel between his story and that of Cain and Abel.…

    The Promised Land

    • 6 Pages

    Nicholas Lemann is the author of “The Promised Land: The Great Black Migration and How it Changed America”, a book that takes place between 1940 and 1970. What sets this bestseller apart from those written about the same time period is the way Lemann gives the Black Migration and Civil Rights Movement faces and voices. He uses interviews and observation to tell the stories of each man and women passionate about making a change during this time. This includes politicians, bureaucrats, civil rights organizations, etc. The book breaks apart this time into three cities: Clarksdale, Washington, and Chicago. The book changes between these three cities to show what was happening in each place simultaneously. Each chapter represents a city and they cut into each other multiple times. The focus of this paper, however; will be Washington and how it interacted with Chicago to aid blacks throughout the Civil Rights Movement.…

    The Garden of Earthly Delights painted by Hieronymus Bosch, depicts many vivid fictional scenes in triptych style. The right wing of the triptych depicts Hell and the causes of man's downfall, which Dante wrote about in the Inferno. Dante tries to convey to all humanity the consequences of human actions and the levels of hell that he believes exist for different levels of sins. Dante divides Hell up into ten different circles, and there is an upper and a lower level of Hell. Dante and Bosch have similar views on the evil within people and this evil is represented in their works, whether it transpires in a painting or in a book.…

    Heaven's Gate

    • 1339 Words
    • 6 Pages

    On March 26, 1997, in what has become known as one of the most noteworthy mass suicides in history, thirty-nine men and women affiliated with the Heavens Gate cult took their own lives by ingesting a combination of Phenobarbitals mixed with applesauce and alcohol. Each was dressed all in black, their faces covered by a purple shroud. Those who wore glasses had them neatly folded next to their body, and all had identification papers for the authorities to find. The house was immaculate, tidier even than before the victims had moved in. It was as if, in preparing for their death, they were heeding the words of the prophet Isaiah: "Set thine house in order; for thou shalt die, and not live." And while their abrupt end may seem rather strange, the way they lived is even more perplexing.…
