Just Walk on By: Summary Just Walk on By: Black Men and Public Space is an excellent story by Brent Staples who was born in 1951 in Chester, Pennsylvania. The story is narrated from his point of view and takes place in Chicago during Staples’ early adulthood. One of the main messages of the story is the struggle of being stereotyped in America during the late 1960’s. The story goes on to tell a few events from the authors past that reflect how his skin tone has caused some type of stereotype in his life. One excellent example is when Staples is walking behind a well dress white lady in one of the more poor neighborhoods in Chicago.

Furthermore, the small act of Nick wiping the ‘spot of lather’ from Mckee’s cheek, his reserve broken down by alcohol, also achieves a portrayal of his drunken state. Throughout the chapter, Fitzgerald uses juxtaposition of contrasting settings of The Valley of Ashes and New York. The ‘desolate’ imagery of The Valley of Ashes is intensified with Fitzgerald’s presentation of images of nature alongside images of decay. This can be seen in the ‘wheat’ alongside the ‘rising smoke’ and ‘ashes’. The setting’s bleak nature stands in stark contrast to the ‘sunshine’ and the ‘almost pastoral’ nature of the setting of New York.
Two news articles one by Boston Globe [ (Earthquake in Haiti, 2010) ] and the other by CNN [ (7.0 quake hits Haiti; 'Serious loss of life' expected, 2010) ] have been summarized describing the damage that the earthquake entailed on the poor nation.

“The Moslem Wife” by Mavis Gallant is about the experience of an innkeeper in southern France, Netta, whose home and life is invaded by the Second World War. In their own way, both these stories tell a tale of the brutalities of war. Survivors of war are a generation of people who, even though they may have escaped shells, were destroyed by the war. The brutality of war affects these people psychologically, physically, and spiritually. Before examining the ways in which Wolff and Gallant expose the true brutalities of war, one should understand the setting and the conditions people were forced to live under during times of war.

“If something in life hurts you in life, use it in your writing.” This quote is by Ernest Hemingway, and he made this statement apparent when he wrote his book, “A Farewell to Arms.” In this novel there are many similarities between Hemingway and the main character Fredrick Henry. Once Ernest Hemingway enlisted into the war and was deferred because of his poor vision he became an ambulance driver as did Fredrick in the book. While running a mobile canteen he was hit by a mortar fire and was injured from the waist down. Other similarities include how both Hemingway and Fredrick were not close to their family at all, and how they both fell in love with a nurse while in the hospital for their injures. “Farewell to arms” is an exemplification of his love life as well as his war life as an ambulance driver in World War I.
