No Country for Old Men is a story about how greedy man can be and what they will do for money; along with this the book raises questions about fate. The plot follows the interweaving paths of the three central characters Llewelyn Moss, Anton Chigurh, and Ed Tom Bell set in motion by events related to a drug deal gone badly near the Mexican-American border in southwest Texas, in Terrell County. A movie was created in 2007 of the book; the Coen brothers did a very faithful retelling of the story. I will be explaining the major similarities and differences between the book and movie. In the book, there were a few additional scenes not in the movie.
Author Denise Giardina has great narrative abilities. She can spin a wonderfully coercive and succulent story, as she has done in Storming Heaven. The novel has a beautifully fictitious plot that ties in perfectly with the events surrounding the coal wars and the Battle of Blair Mountain. She really gives the reader an idea of what it might have been like to be a West Virginian during this era. The plot is set up in a way that causes it to be quite interesting to even those who are most loathing of history.

Willy Loman and the Common Misconception of the “American Dream” Throughout Arthur Miller’s play, Death of a Salesman, Willy Loman chases after the popular “American Dream” of the 1900s-to be a successful businessman with the white picket fence around your house, modern technology (such as cars and refrigerators), and the satisfaction of being able to provide for your own family. Unfortunately, this chase causes the Loman family to fail in their jobs and eventually leads Willy to commit suicide. It is easy to blame Willy for his death by simply calling him crazy, however there are many different factors that added to Willy’s fragile state. Fred Ripkoff states that in order to understand the identity crisis of Loman (and other Miller characters), that “it is necessary to understand shame’s relationship to guilt and identity.” (1). Willy struggled with finding his identity because he was so caught up in his chase for his “American Dream”.
Syriani 1 Wasseem Syriani English 110 Prof. Gangel, Susan 1/31/2015 That Room Essay “That Room” by Tobias Wolff, talks about a young man who is working as a farmer during the summer. Series of events happen to them while they were drunk that could’ve altered his and his friend’s life forever. The use of Symbolism in “That Room” by Tabois Wolff is huge. The summer work, the moment Miguel pulls out a gun, a deadly weapon, and The Room all symbolize the fear, tension, hostility and confusion that was felt by the narrator. The narrator wants to become an adult so he decided to take a job.
In his interview with George Plimpton, Capote says (referring to the view of why Perry committed the murders) “I could have added a lot of other opinions. But that would have confused the issue, and indeed the book. I had to make up my mind and move toward that one view, always.” This statement can be enlarged in scope to resemble Capote’s editorial discretion througout the entirety of In Cold Blood: though his work is full of factual evidence, Capote admittedly edits the book with a certain purpose in mind, and his editing choices subconsciously affect the reader, possibly even moreso than a typical novel, since the reader is caught off guard while believing the book to be a “factual account.” For example, Capote portrays Perry in a very sensitive way, urging the reader to identify and sympathize with him even though some characters in the book, such as Perry’s sister, despise him. If Capote had focused on his sister’s point of view more than others, the reader would take from the story a negative view rather than a postive one; Capote’s real-life relationship with Perry, however, muddled his sense of objectivity and, in a strange way, cast Perry as a sort of fallen hero
