- 1822: Comparison Of Honor
- ... things one could possess in their lives. Honor was the cornerstone for everything that was good about medieval society and people would do anything to protect what honor they had. The three poems The Franklin's Tale, Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, and Sir Orfeo all have honor as a central theme in the stories they tell us. Honor is portrayed in different ways as it is shown in each of these poems. The theme of honor is shown to be held higher than anything else in The Franklin's Tale, while in Sir Orfeo his love for his wife seems to push honor aside. The honor that is seen in Sir Gawain and the Green Knight is the honor for one's own beliefs and standards but hope, in the end, overcomes honor. One major theme of honor in these poems is when honor is put over everything including love or even one's own life. ...

- 1824: John Updike's "A&P"
- John Updike's "A&P" Living in a society in which one must abide by rules and regulations is fairly common nowadays. Without such standards and policies, things would not function properly and would be in a constant state of corruption and disorder. There comes a moment, however, when these policies are broken and necessary action must be taken to ensure it does not happen again. In John Updike’s “A&P,” one can see why policy is sometimes necessary and the consequences one must face for not abiding by them. He clearly expresses this belief that policy is sometimes necessary through the setting and ... conservative and conscious of their appearance and rules about what was acceptable or not were known to all.

- 1825: The Metamorphosis
- ... read and analyzed works of twentieth-century literature. Isolation and alienation are at the heart of this surreal story of a man transformed overnight into a kind of beetle. In contrast to much of Kafka's fiction, "The Metamorphosis" has not a sense of incompleteness. It is formally structured into three Roman-numbered parts, with each section having its own climax. A number of themes run through the story, but at the center are the familial relationships fundamentally affected by the great change in the story's protagonist, Gregor Samsa (Lawson 27). While the father-son relationship in the story appears to be a central theme, the relationship between Gregor and his sister Grete is perhaps the most unique. It is Grete, after all, with whom the metamorphosed Gregor has any rapport, suggesting the Kafka intended to lend at least some significance to their relationship. Grete's significance is found in her changing relationship with her brother. It is Grete's changing actions, feelings, and speech toward her brother, coupled with her accession to womanhood, that seem to parallel Gregor's ...
