    The Lost Boys

    "In "The Lost Boy," the story describes the period in which the bewildered child, haunted by the fear of being returned to his mad and alcoholic mother, is passed between foster care homes. For six years, David Pelzer was sent to over ten different foster homes; sometimes returning to the same home twice. David's desperate attempts to be accepted by his peers led him into a life of petty crime, which, including cruel tricks his "friends" played on him, included stealing, and ending up going to "The Hill." This was a nickname for "Hillcrest," a juvenile detention ceter for boys who did wrong. After overcoming a trial to be free from his Mother, David (at the age of 12), begins his long journey from recovering from years of brainwash by his Mother; stealing from local grocery and toy stores, and periodically going into a stage of badness and being mean and cold to others. David's life story has touched so many hearts in the world, and he has gotten very far in his life. If he had ust laid back and been abused, stabbed, and tortured by his Mother, he may be dead right now. To David Pelzer; The Man Who Survived. (He was released from foster care at the age of 18, and joined the U.S Air Force as an air crew member.)"…

    The Persian Carpet

    In life, all relationships need many important elements to overcome difficulties and challenges which may break those relationships and separate members. “The Persian Carpet” by Hanal Al-Shayk shows that there has to be trust, commitment and communication between members in order for relationship to strengthen. This becomes obvious when looking at narrative elements in the story such as character and conflict. Firstly, the conflict between the father and the mother leads to their divorce and separate their children because the trust and communication does not exist between them. Secondly, the main character, the daughter, destroys her connections with her mom because she thinks her mom is the carpet thief; she even does not ask to verify yet. Finally, Ilya is sentenced to leave the village because he does not say anything to save himself. Therefore, trust, commitment and communication are necessary for relations to develop or survive.…

    Cormac Mccarthy the Road

    I plan to do my essay on Cormac McCarthy's book, The Road and the subsequent adaptation of the same name, Directed by John Hillcoat and adapted to screen Joe Penhall . The book tells the struggle of a father and a his child traversing across post apocoliptic America in search of a safer place to stay. The books tone is very somber and grey, the film adaptation stays true to this feeling of opression and impending doom. The book also is very exoplicit in it's portrtayl of a post acopoliptic America, people doing what they need to survive and this involves cannibalism. The book won many awards and was commended for the unromantic way it put across a post apocalyptic world.…

    The Lost Boys

    Approximately 26,000 boys, during the late 1980’s, fled the southern part of Sudan in an effort to escape the violence that had consumed their country. With such an enormous amount of refugees fleeing Sudan, it was described as an “exodus of biblical proportions”(Corbett, 2001). These refugees were dubbed “The Lost Boy” due to the many similarities they had with the Peter Pan’s followers in the story Neverland. Like the fictional characters in the story, most of these boys, whose ages were all below 18, had no parents due to being orphaned by the civil war.…

    Women In Nawal El Saadawi's Woman At Point Zero

    Nawal El Saadawi’s novel Woman at Point Zero is a story set in Egypt in the 1970s, full of many different and yet similar characters. However, with all of the characters in this novel, the women are portrayed in a very specific way; they tend to be characterized as dependent, and less capable. They are also the main recipients of much of the violence included within this text. This will be shown through the main character, Firdaus, and another woman, Sharifa. The environment and context of Woman at Point Zero had a profound effect on the women in this story, affecting their behavior; however, El Saadawi had her reasons for writing this way.…

    In her article “number one,” Nada Akel succeeds in dragging the population to her side and convincing them. Her article is effective because she presents her ideas in a well-organized and adequate way. She opens her article with a short anecdote about a couple who has struggled a lot before overcoming all the obstacles and making its dream come true. This example illustrates real concerns and problems faced by the Lebanese society especially the young rising generation. This relation adds credibility to the text by giving it a sense of reality and not only an abstract image which has nothing to do…
