Her work gives modern America a glimpse at what life was like for woman in a Puritan society. Anne Bradstreet’s brother in law, John Woodbridge secretly had taken some of Anne’s writing back to London and had them published in what became The Tenth Muse. Her work speaks of loneliness, love, loyalty, doubt, faith, and perseverance. It focuses in on what Americans still value; family, home and the mundaneness of life. Furthermore, her work can still relate to what is on the hearts of many Americans today involving religion, marriage, work, illness, and worldly uncertainty.
The Visibles vs. late 20th and early 21st century The visibles is one of Sara Shepard’s less popular books written in 2009. The time setting in the book is from 1998 to 2003. When introduced to the concept that DNA defines who we are and forever ties us to our relatives, Summer Davis clings to the idea like a life raft, allowing her to feel connected to her mother, who abruptly abandoned the family. Summer’s father responds to their loss by descending into mental illness, haunted by a lifelong burning secret and assisted by a series of letters that he writes to make sense of his feelings. As Summer deals with her father's illness, her brother's indifference, and her own relationships from adolescence to adulthood, she begins to question the role of genetics and whether she is powerless to escape her family's legacy of despair.

Week 5 Assignment 1 Discussion Question 2 “The Awakening” By Kate Chopin Eng1002 Dr. Becky By Chris Bates “The Awakening” by Kate Chopin was set around the main character Edna Pontellier. I’ve chosen to write about her varying behaviors. The way she acted throughout the novel was centered around her as a wife and as a mother. Yes she “lacked” in these areas, but I am going to focus on her as an individual and how it affected her varying roles. When the story went back and told how her and her husband met and came to marry it told an awful lot about who Edna was.
The story deals with AIDS, love, secrets and the ghosts of the past. I found out that Helen is really Maria Elena or Nena and she is Diego’s sister. Eddy is Nena’s husband and has his own past as a molested child to come to terms with that and a brother to find. Jake is dealing with his anger and grief from losing Joaquin. And then there is my favorite character in the book, Lizzie.
Analyzing Theme in Fiction: Our Town Mark Kuhn Mid-America Christian University April 21, 2014 Analyzing Theme in Fiction: Our Town Our Town explores the relationship between two young Grover's Corners neighbors, George Gibbs and Emily Webb, whose childhood friendship blossoms into romance, and then concludes in marriage. When Emily loses her life in childbirth, the circle of life portrayed in each of the three acts of Our Town--growing up, adulthood, and death--is fully realized (Robertson, n.d.). Old Town is a simple story of a love affair that is continually rediscovered because it asks the unchanging questions that humans have wanted to know for a very long time. The questions we all ask of ourselves, we need to know about the meaning of love, life and death. In Act three of the play, the recently deceased Emily is given the chance to go back to one day in her life, only to discover that she never fully appreciated all she possessed until she lost it.
Analysis of “A Worn Path” Tracy Locke ENG125 Karen McFarland September 16, 2013 “A Worn Path” by Eudora Welty written in 1941 is a story that shows unconditional love. A beautiful story of a grandmother who will do anything to help her sick grandson. Phoenix Jackson must be one hundred years old and still takes a long journey only to get medication for her grandson. A trip is always tough on a person, but a trip for an old lady who walks with a cane very slowly is an act of compassionate love. I will explore the theme along with two literary elements in this short story.
When someone says of a boy who died, "he fought hard," Hazel thinks to herself, "as if there were another way to fight." She's angry and funny, and most delightful of all, thinks about what her parents must be thinking. She worries that when she, "professional sick person," dies, "they'd have nothing to say about me except that I fought heroically, as if the only thing I'd ever done was Have Cancer." Augustus shares a passion for Hazel's favorite novel, a novel imagined by Green. An Imperial Affliction (or AIA, as Hazel calls it) is narrated by a girl named Anna with a rare blood cancer.
She became one of the major figures of the Harlem Renaissance. Her first novel, Jonah’s Gourd Vine, written in 1934, combines folklore with biblical themes centered around her parents’ marriage. To read Jonah’s Gourd Vine is to understand some of her feelings about slavery, oppression, recovery from oppression as well as to gain a little perspective on her own life. Their Eyes Were Watching God, written in 1937 is considered her masterpiece, and it is filled with imagery, rich characters, and delightful prose. The reader follows Janie as she grows up, gets married, becomes widowed at a young age, takes up with the interesting young man called Teacake, and is eventually tried for his murder .
