    In Chesnutt’s short story The Passing of Grandison, the aspect of passing is addressed on both a narrative and textual level in order to show a destabilization of race and identity. In this short story, Grandison makes an impact on this story showing how talented and smart a slave can really be. The master trusted him to a point to let him out of the plantation. The entire short story itself was very interesting and had many ways to see it in. What makes this particular passage that I choose so interesting is that I feel that Grandison had a more significant role than the master’s son Dick Owens. We ask our self why was he trusted so much and why did he have to lie the way he did, how…

    From the beginning of the book, Thomas was always courageous. Even though he lost his memory and did not know where he was, he did not break down, and he tried to adapt with the new environment. His first heroic act happened when he ran out of the Glade into the Maze to save Minho and the injured Alby, when they could not come back to the Glade before the Doors closed. Knowing that he had to stay in the Maze the whole night to fight against the Grievers, they were deadly mechanical monsters that came out at night to kill humans, Thomas was not concerned about his own safety. When Minho abandoned Thomas and Alby, instead of fleeing to save himself and leave Alby behind, Thomas pulled Alby off the ground and wrapped him with vines, to keep him away from the Grievers. Not only did Thomas help Alby get out of harm way, he ran the opposite way to distract the Grievers from finding Alby’s hiding spot. Thomas bravely fought the Grievers and tricked them to roll off the cliff.…
