- 751: Comparing Tragedies (how To Te
- Tim O'Brien's "How to Tell a Ture War Sotry" and Margaret Atwood's "Death by Landscape" are tragic stories that are relived through the memories of the narrators. I would not consider "How to Tell a Ture War Sotry" and Death by Landscape" ghosts sotries. My understnatding of a ghost story is a haunting of someone or something. Both stories are interpretations of a personal belief of what happened to thier friends. The narratior of "How to Tell a True War Story," describes how he saw Lemon die. He is mostly disturbed by the politician ... them or even animals, it's as if there is something, or someone, looking back out." The narrator of "How to Tell a True War Story" expresses his trauma in how he tells his war stories. He believees that "war is hell."

In the way that they from the similarity family gatherings and the differences from the presents. In both of the stores the differences can be contrasted by saying. Is that one different that stood out and separated these stories, was the way in which the family’s valued their gifts.

- 753: Everyday Use
- "Everyday Use" is a short story written by Alice Walker. Walker did a wonderful job illustrating her characters. There are all types of characters in this short story from round to static. Her use of simple symbolism prompts the reader to take a deeper look into the story. Walker’s humble way of conveying the theme makes the reader take a second ... or herself.

- 754: Frontline
- ... affairs programs makes a mockery of journalistic integrity. Through humorous portrayals of important issues, and clever imitation “Frontline” makes veiwers aware of ridicule towards journalistic integrity. While current affairs programs are based on real life stories, which are enhanced to ‘make good news’, Frontline is based on the making of these stories. Frontlines purpose is to inform the audience of the life behind a current affair program but more importantly its main focus is on entertaining the audience. This is achieved in many ways, primarily by bending real life situations out of contempt to journalists uprightness. Current affair programs do not take stories as they are and simply present them with the facts, they are sensationalised and enhanced to bring more entertainment value to them, however this is not widely known throughout the general public. Furthermore it’ ...
- 755: Comparison Of Racism In Histor
- ... the non-citizens. This is what Joy writes about in her novel. The novel and the play are similar because they focus around one main minority group and their problems. It would seem, in these stories, that when Canada is faced with a crisis, the government takes command and sometimes encourages racism. All the racism in Canada is just like racism throughout the world: people getting hurt for no other reason than they can help. These two stories reflect how racism made lives of non-whites suffer because of hate. This hate does not have to be there, but sometimes people feel there is no choice but to hate. Other similarities like the setting tells the history behind what Vancouver is today. Although Vancouver s past is filled with many discriminating stories, it now occupies many nationalities and races. This shows how racism can be over come and that s how it should be. Another similarity that both have in common are the fact that both ...
- 756: Emily Dickenson
- ... Invention" and "Success Is Counted Sweetest". In "Faith", Dickinson presents a "witty and biting satirical look at Faith and its limitations" (Hartman 113). While it still amuses readers today, it must be mentioned that this short poem would have had a greater impact and seriousness to an audience from the period Dickinson lived in. Dickinson was raised in a strict Calvinist household and received most of her education in her youth at a boarding school. In this short, witty piece Dickinson addresses two of the main obsessions of her generation: The pursuit of empirical knowledge through science, faith in an all-knowing, all-powerful Christian god and the debate on which was the ... who have not achieved it and have no taste of it. As in "Faith", Dickinson powerfully presents her thoughts in a few lines. The poem deals only with one, ironic but universal, idea in its short length. It is the bitterness expressed at this irony that is most felt by the reader. While the previous poems express the poet’s bitterness and sorrow with one aspect of her life, "I' ...
- 757: Comparison: "The Jade Peony", "Horses of the Night", Masque of the Red Death"
- ... and fluency. The first story I will be discussing is called "The Jade Peony" by Wayson Choy. I did not enjoy what this story was about nor did I enjoy reading it. Luckly it was short, If It wasnt I doubt i would have made it throught the whole thing. The main problem with this story was the inconsistance of the sentences, some sentences were too long while others were very short. The only way to truly fix this story would be to re-write it. The second story I chose to write about is called "Horses of the Night" by Margaret Laurence. I did enjoy reading this short story dipite the fact it seem to jump around alot; it would talk about somthing fairly in-depth then just suddenly jump to a different subject or time-era of the story. The author ...

- ... York City ( Where there were more opportunities to succeed ). Upton Beall Sinclair began writing when he was 15 years old. He mostly wrote ethnic jokes and fiction for a fun magazine. He wrote these silly stories and jokes in order for the magazine to pay for his studies at New York City College. After he was done at New York City College, in 1897, he enrolled at Columbia University. By this ... as one of the greatest writers of his time. Upton was putting out up to two novels per week. This was unheard of at this point in time. During these years he wrote Clif Faraday stories such as "Ensign Clarke Fitch." He was also writing Mark Mallory Stories like "Lieutenant Frederick Garrison" for boys’ weekly magazine. His writing was on the right track, but he still didn’t have that one book to put him over the top. In 1900 Sinclair married ...
- 759: Comparitive Essay Between Gene
- ... about flying F-14 jets: "I feel the need, the need for speed". Christian Slater once said, "It's better to burn out than fade away". He was talking for his generation. This generation loves stories, especially true stories of people's lives. Douglas Coupland's book, which gave a name to this generation, Generation X, is about three friends who "left our lives behind us and came to the desert - to tell stories and to make our own lives worthwhile tales in the process". They have been abandoned from guidance and are forced to create narratives of their own to define meaning and to give expression to ...
- 760: Chaucer's "The House of Fame": The Cultural Nature of Fame
- ... the "fame" of these works can easily become annihilated. The arrival of new readers with different ideals and thereby changing tradition, can reject classical or "canonical" work and their "fame" will melt into nothingness. Most stories, histories and legends that emerge from oral heroic poetry are to herald the achievement of the powerful and wealthy so that their histories will not fade from the memories of the population. The stories of Beowolf are a clear example of this, as within these stories, (whether embellished or no), Beowolf's fame and legend reaches the modern reader hundreds of years later. Clearly, Beowolf is still very much dependant on the conventions of oral traditions and written to leave ...
