    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…

    Nowadays, the new trend is the have the most. People are constantly judging each other on how much they have or how new it is. Society does not look down upon materialism, but rather celebrates it. But this was not yet the case in the 1920s. During this time period, there was a move toward mass production but the idea was not accepted by all. Many people detested the idea, one of these people being Willa Cather, who valued simplicity and intelligence over money and items. This tug-of-war between old values such as art and history, and the new values of technology and material wealth, is a theme Willa Cather addresses in her book The Professor’s House. The novel is centralized around the St. Peter family: husband and wife,…

In this kingdom there is also an arena, in this arena people were judged by chance. There are two doors that have one thing inside each door. One has a lady, and one has a tiger.

    Nathanial Hawthorne in chapter one opens up the story to the scene of Boston in the seventeenth century at the town prison door. At this time, it is the month of June and a colony of utopian puritans surrounds the prison. On page forty-one, in paragraph two, the prison is described as “the wooden jail was already marked with weathered stains and other indications of age, which gave a yet darker aspect to its beetle-browed and gloomy front. The rust on the ponderous iron work of its oaked door looked more antique than anything else in the New World.” Hawthorne sets the mood of sadness and how the description of the jail relates to how Hester Prynne feels inside.…

    What the Dog Saw Essay

    • 1415 Words
    • 6 Pages

    When I was first assigned to read What the Dog Saw I thought to myself, “Wow this book could be a little dull. This is my first college assignment and I have to read nineteen essays that are written by this Malcolm Gladwell guy of whom I have never heard of. I thought college work was actually going to be interesting, apparently not!” After getting the book and just reading through the different topics Gladwell had written about I began to realize that my assumption was correct. This book was going to be boring. However, I decided to get a feel for the book by reading the introduction. I found that Gladwell was chastising humans in saying that our instinct “is to assume that most things are not interesting” and change to something better (Gladwell xix). Was this guy reading my mind or something? Just a while ago the exact thought of passing over this book crossed my mind. I decided to give the guy a chance so I was determined to read on. As I read I realized that Gladwell had this unique “talent” of making anything sound interesting. Normally I would discard an essay about ketchup, birth control, or hair dye because all of these are everyday things that seem a little boring to me. Gladwell, however, finds a way to draw in the reader and make these topics interesting. I believe the keys to his unique “talent” are finding the perfect situations to draw comparisons, he “becomes” the person of whom he is writing about, and he gives everyone the benefit of the doubt (a chance to be interesting). With these three elements anyone can tackle the problem of something appearing to be boring or dull.…

    In Bulgakov’s Heart of a Dog, a certain Professor Preobrazhenskij engages in an experiment involving the surgical replacement of certain organs in a dog, with those take from a human corpse.

Specifically, Bulgakov wrote in order to lambaste the goal of the Bolshevik party to rejuvenate society by focusing on the creation of a perfect, new individual that would be a perfect soviet citizen.…

    Oates’ rendition of “The Lady with the Pet Dog” follows a woman who is in a similar situation to Chekhov’s similarly named Anna. Broken into three stages, Oates first introduces the climax—a scene where Anna is in a panic after discovering that the man she had had an affair with was trying to reconnect despite the fact that her husband was nearby. Feeling faint throughout the concert the two attended, Anna’s husband attempts to console her, but through the “clumsiness of his love,” Anna can only think of the…
