The reader is heavily influenced by their personal context and their relationship with other novels, which shapes their conceptualized idea of the text. The intertextual links that Kingsolver has exercised helps entice connections to the main themes of her novel, which may foreshadow other sources. She relies largely on biblical parables, with some comparisons being explicit and others being more obscure and subtle. Lying underneath many complex layers are themes such as western hegemony and conflict between the force of nature and death. These are accumulated from several plots that pertain Christianity in the bible and build a coherent sense of meaning to the important aspects in the text.
The next thing that qualifies this book as a classic is the fact that it uses effective, unique style appropriate to the purpose and content. In this book author Tim O’Brien use a style unique to this novel. His tone is appropriate for storytelling which is the main thing happening in this book. There is also different point of views from which the stories are told. Though O’Brien is the narrator his stories come from the views and experiences of others.
When looking at James Baldwin’s argumentative essay If Black English Isn’t a Language, Then Tell Me, What Is? And then comparing it to Sandra’s Cisneros’ work Little Miracles, Kept Promises, one might think that they are two completely different animals when but when thoroughly examined, one will be able to see some similarities and ideological ties behind the two author’s pieces. Baldwin’s essay orbits around the idea of cultural identity through language and how language can be used in life. Cisneros’ piece on the other hand, is a collection of stories that praise and give thanks to religious figures and saints. So how can the two be tied together?
Many stories share similar devices and distinctive merits to convey the story’s message and allow readers to have their own interpretation of the story. An important component of literature is the ability to comparatively evaluate two elements or products of work. Short stories are excellent for comparing and contrasting because of the details and themes conveyed in a length shorter than a novel that readers can understand the same way. In “Hills like White Elephants” by Ernest Hemingway and “June Birthing”by Joyce Carol Oates, certain aspects makes them similar, different, and even one more interesting than the other. Both stories can be viewed similarly in several ways.
However they were both similar. Ridley and Eggers accomplished the goal of creating meaningful books pertaining to life. Though the two novels were divergent due to the language that was used, the order that the stories were told, and the way that life was viewed, both came together with the purpose of writing and the use of anecdotes to help give the reader insight on the true meaning of
Black Elk Speaks isn’t alone in that the book Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee by Dee Brown, includes some of the same techniques. Brown also ensures that the information and people are accurate and reflect the story. Although the similarities between Black Elk Speaks and Bury my Heart at Wounded Knee are plentiful in numerous effective ways of telling a story, Black Elk Speaks uses perspective, language and resources that correspond to the theme and message of the book and reflect it in the more refined way of the two. The perspective of the narrator often affects the quality of which the story is portrayed, and can actually determine whether or not the reader understands what the message is. In Black Elk Speaks, because the narrator is a Native American boy who is at the time going through all the commotion first hand, he gives a different outlook on the situation than say.

I have chosen two writers who intrigued their communities: one as the author of the first US bestseller , while the second as a strange spinster in white. Both of these writers had strong opinions and stimuli encouraging the exploration of numerous issues in literature and society, and in this essay I will explore the ways Mary Rowlandson and Emily Dickinson dealt with the themes of captivity and freedom. These writers were physically subjected to both of these themes throughout the duration of their lives, and their work not only deals with these themes, it is product of them and how they conditioned both writers. I will refer to a number of texts authored by them to strengthen my observation. The noun ‘captivity’ is defined as ‘the condition of being imprisoned or confined’ , and Mary Rowlandson primarily suffered her loss of freedom through being taken captive by Algonquian Indians, and held hostage in their midst for the duration of “eleven weeks and five days”, before being restored to her husband for a fee of £20.
Each of their ideas had the similarity of survival. However, along with these notions came many faults that overtook the strengths that these ideas could hold, thus disabling any of the plans to work successfully. To begin with, Ralph, as the leader was given the authority to use the conch shell to summon everyone. He had every meeting that was held a discussion, rather than laws being put down forcefully upon everyone. In the novel, Ralph represents order and productive leadership.
Communities are places where many things occur. All sort of things are observed that is good and bad. Miguel Street is a book that is a perfect example where characters are involved in these things and they give a lot of meaning to the book. Miguel Street is an amazing book that shows us how our uneducated societies behave in the everyday living where love is confused for other treatments and where a person would do things for that love, where people will discriminate because of they cannot be like others that have it good. I do not understand why there are so many women that let themselves into relationship that an ‘I love you’ is not a way of showing love, instead the physical abuses.
