A lot of people at this time were just like him in the way that they were born into their life and struggled to make it better for them. Sam Patch gave them hope that they could make their life whatever they wanted it to be. I think the author chose Sam Patch as the subject of his book because Sam was a symbol for people who where caught in the same cycle he was caught in growing up. He was an idol for impoverished towns and people. They looked up to him and appreciated his help by publicizing issues involving populations that couldn’t stand up for them because they were too poor.
RAW is a realistic story of a teenager named Brett Dalton who has been sentenced to three months at The Farm for a break and enters charge. Brett learns a lot about himself during his time at The Farm. While there he finds love, he makes some new friends and he also manages to gain some enemies. The idea that I have made present within the book is that the institution can only assist in change; it is the individual who must want to change for that change to occur. I have written this book in a way that makes an impact on the reader by the consequences of the actions Brett takes in the book and many teenagers in
Last Child in the Woods Saving our Children from the Nature-Deficit Disorder by Richard Louv has brought up many situations, question and topics which I personally can relate to. The topic Nature Deficit disorder has brought much connection to my mind as well as in the mind of Richard Louv. My parents have told me of the time when they were kids, where they spent every waking moment outdoors whether it be in the neighborhood parks or forests. They tell me of how “times have changed since they were kids” where kids would rather play videos games together or watch television, then play cops and robbers outside. Another connection I made with Richard Louv’s Last Child in the Woods came when Louv spoke of the spiritual and emotional connections he and young children around the world have experienced.
A superego is much like a parent; they help the id by holding back their urges and the ego by trying to make them behave morally. A character from Lord of the Flies acts much like the superego does. That character’s name is Piggy. Piggy was the type of kid that no matter what happened; he tried to make things better (Barron 1). One was when the boys were stuck on the island, Piggy was always picked on by Jack, the id, and ignored by Ralph, the ego, yet Piggy still tried to warn others of the tragedies ahead of them.

For example, in Hunters in the snow, in class we were able to tell a lot about the characters by the symbolism in the story. The lottery was a story about how every year in June the village sacrificed someone within their village in order to have a good crop growing season. The way that the village chose their sacrifice was that they would choose a day to have the big event. Then all the villagers will line up and grab their little piece of paper from within the black box. Then they would all open them up together.
Most of us have passed by a puppy store and gazed into the eyes of the puppy sitting there on display and thought how cute and precious it was. After spending some time with that lovable puppy you ask the price and you are appalled by what the store employee quotes you. The price is so outrageous you you are shocked back into reality. The reality is, do you even know where these puppies are from? Well, when I was thirteen years old I was stunned when I saw truck full of puppies pull up right behind my dance studio.
I was able to talk with some teen moms about their experiences of having a baby. I received some negative feedback, such as not being able to do the things I normally would do at sixteen and the responsibly I would have as a teen. I had a high chance of becoming a statistic in teen pregnancy by living in poverty and my child having issues when he got older because he would not have a father. The positive feedback from the teen mothers was encouraging. She told me how the love and bond between mother and child is so strong that you can overcome anything.
She also note that when looking back in literature history one can find other books that were called against from various reasons, like Mark Twain's "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" that was blamed in promoting racism. Needless to say these accusations buried in the past. Through her article, Judy Blume uses some propaganda tools for her claims to be penetrated and understood. One of the propaganda tools she uses called 'the band wagon'. This tool "is a device to make us follow the crowd, to accept the propagandist's program en masse" (How to detect propaganda,1937, institute for propaganda analysis).
In Ray Bradbury’s short story “Embroidery”, we see a semi futuristic setting with events that take place only in one house. The author takes great care to use many of the literary devices available to him. The major utilized in this short story is symbolism, along with foreshadowing and irony. These literary devices are combined to make a social commentary that discusses the idea that technology can be both the savior and the potential destruction of mankind, and that even if not directly responsible for any event, all of society is to blame when things turn out badly. Starting with symbolism, we are introduced to a major concept in this story from early on, starting in line 6 with the main characters, “Each woman looked to her own hands, as if suddenly she had found her heart beating there.” From this point on, the author intentionally gives us various examples to illustrate the idea that a person’s soul is not merely their ‘center’ or mind; it is where the person feels or uses that fragment of themselves, in this case the women’s hands.
