Yes, fiction works can come from direct experiences as well, but typically they are based on a personal experience or idea not directly derived from their experience. In Adam Lam’s story, this was something that he truly went through his entire life. He details his thoughts on his mother’s 70th birthday when he overheard her whisper about the incense. He is telling us his personal life story in regards to his mother and him and how they have grown up in two different worlds. He shares his fears and concerns with us of a real situation that first generation Americans are dealing with in our country as we speak.
Throughout his novel he jumps from the moments in Vietnam and fast forwards 20 years to him writing his own books to what happened before the war and sometimes from other characters perspectives. There is no chronological order in this book and the author did this to explain each life event and how it relates to different times in his and his Alpha Company’s lives. For example, the first chapter explains Jimmy Cross’ feelings towards Martha during the war and how she was a good distraction from what was happening in reality. In the second chapter, the setting takes place in a house and is about Jimmy Cross and Tim O’Brien decades after the war. They talk out Martha and how she was practically the love of Cross’ life.
Love Medicine Book Report Throughout the past couple of weeks I’ve been reading the novel “Love Medicine,” by Louise Erdrich.

Holden seems to have a very strong preference to those that he would consider as “pure” or “innocent”. To start off that point I have been noticing how there are obvious signs that Holden seems like children
History books have always been a one sided story, and I for one would like to see that changed. Let people tell their own story and history. Not someone else's view of it.

The familiar stories he wrote: “The Manuscript Found in a Bottle,” “Ligiea,” “The Haunted Palace,” “The Murders in the Rue Morgue,” “The Gold Bug,” “The Fall of the House of Usher,” and the most recognized is “The Raven,” were not discovered as often till after his death. At the age of 40, Poe was found unconscious, and was rushed to the hospital in early October. His death is unknown and unsettling but his spirit lives on in his writing of Gothic literature and

Rudis Rodriguez Professor Scala English 101 11/15/2012 Soldier’s Home Many of us have gone through some form of withdrawal. Whether it be from an unpleasant event(s) or memories, we usually just want to avoid whatever it is. Ernest Hemingway’s Soldier’s Home is a story about a young Soldier who returns to Oklahoma from World War I as a different person and has to deal with the post traumatic stress caused by an experience he had during the war. A central idea of Soldier’s Home is “Heart break”. This idea is very well supported when Harold Krebs sits on his porch and say negative comments on all of the girls walking by.
Thomas McKean High School Hannah Rosato Literary Analysis Essay The Things They Carried is not a linear narrative because the book’s events don’t occur in chronological order. Tim O’Brien uses literary devices to unite the events and developments in the stories. The literary devices I have noticed are ‘symbol’ and ‘theme’. In the chapter Ambush, O’Brien uses symbol. “When she was nine, my daughter Kathleen asked if I had ever killed anyone.
John Rogers found it interesting that the story of John Rogers relates a segment from his childhood, yet does not mention his father until the last two pages. Then, the recollection is brief, alluding to the fact that the father had left the family. "As Mother talked, we children fogot all about what we were so eager to hear about the trouble that had made Mother and Father forget the love that had once brought them together. " This statement raises more questions that it answers. Was this so common amongst the Native Americans that no explanation was necessary?
