- 783: James Fenimore Cooper and His Writings
- ... of the American hero. These included "youth (or childlike qualities); innocence; a love of nature and a distrust of town life, [and] a corresponding uneasiness with women (Arpin, et al 120.)" The setting of his stories represented an unspoiled America we cannot return to, explored by an ideal character we cannot attain to. His characters achieve difficult goals in circumstances beyond their control. They do so with unerring adherence to their principles. Cooper's books, are often sought after for his exciting stories. As Brookhiser states in his essay, "readers went to Cooper not for his sociology but for his hero, Natty Bumppo (62)." Interestingly enough, Brookhiser goes on for a length to convince the readers that Cooper's sociology is the most vital component of the stories. Further stating that Cooper's books helped to define Americans, through morals, "ethical earnestness". Also meditating the thought that the Leatherstocking tales reflects people by "the poetry of action, that tension of the soul ...

- 785: Franklin Delano Roosevelt: Relief, Recovery, Reform
- ... s - relief, recovery, and reform. Also, through his New Deal programs, one can see all he did during the Depression to relieve suffering and jump start the economy. In the New Deal program, Roosevelt had short and long - range goals. One of his first short-range goals was relief - especially in the first 100 days. At the time of Roosevelts inauguration, one out of every four people was unemployed. Since FDR was intent upon ending human suffering first and foremost, he decided to be open about using federal money to aid the unemployed. With the okay from FDR, the Hundred Days Congress passed much legislation in order to help in the first short range goal - to give immediate relief. In 1933, Congress created the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC), which provided employment in fresh - air government camps for about 3 million uniformed young men. Their work included reforestation, ...

- ... him to write a biology textbook. He also started writing articles in the popular magazines that were beginning to pop up everywhere. At the invitation of one of the editors, he began writing science-fiction stories in the mid 1890s. In 1893 Wells suffered a physical breakdown that forced him to abandon teaching forever. It is after this that he was determined to pursue a literary career. In 1895, he published his first science-fiction novel, The Time Machine. The Time Machine rose to instant success, and so did H. G. Wells. Over the next five years he wrote a number of romantic myhtical stories that are still popular today (all of which have been made into popular movies, some more than once. These include: The Island of Dr. Moreau, The Invisible Man, and The War of the Worlds.) In writing his novels and stories, Wells had many influences. Two of them are his schooling and teaching as a biologist and the state of mind of Victorian society during his time. Many people of that era saw the wonders ...

- 788: Greasy Lake
- While reading Greasy Lake by T. Coraghessan Boyle, the reader notices that the writing voice of Boyle is quite distinct. Boyle's voice is distinct because he has a satirical way of writing stories about the everyday life of people. He focuses on the unusual people and their peculiar circumstances, which in Boyle's case just adds to his already humorous stories. However, Boyle does not seem to concentrate on satire alone, he writes in a poetic fashion that allows the reader to enter the mind of the characters that he is writing about as well as feel the situations at hand. Boyle's distinct way of writing satire is apparent in most of his stories. Boyle wrote an absolutely hysterical story called "The New Moon Party." The story highlights a politician named George L. Thorkelsson who was re-elected to the position of Governor because he proposed to get ...

the hotel. ( King The Shining : 63 - 64 ) One of the ironies here is that whilst the Carter stories seem on the surface to be the most "gothic" and The Shining to be more of a horror novel, it is in fact The Shining that has the highest quota of gothic ingredients. Out of ... but black painted paper.
In death, she looked far older, less beautiful and so, for the first time, fully human ( p 106 - 107 ) Carter also uses allusion as part of her style. Indeed since the stories are retellings of old fairy tales they could be seen as one giant allusion. This seems like a technique to anchor the stories to the real world as well as giving them depth. For ...
- 790: Traditions in "A Moment Before the Gun Went Off" and "The Lottery"
- Traditions in "A Moment Before the Gun Went Off" and "The Lottery" In the stories "A Moment before The Gun Went Off" and "The Lottery," there is the situation in which a group of people cling to traditions very blindly. In both stories the traditions are so dug into the people's way of life that questioning them is considered sacrilege within these communities. Furthermore, the members of the community no longer even remember why the traditions were set up in the fist place. They follow the traditions simply because their predecessors followed the traditions. Another similarity between the communities in both stories is, even though these traditions are firmly entrenched in these communities, they are rapidly losing there grip in other communities. This detail is not only mentioned in both stories, but looked down upon by ...
