  • Walter Dean Myers’ Monster - Guilty Until Proven Innocent

    1247 Words  | 3 Pages

    Monster is an example of what Patty Campbell would call a “landmark book.” Texts such as these “encourage readers to interact with the text and with one another by employing a variety of devices, among them ambiguity” (Campbell 1) Because it is told through the eyes of Steve himself, the plot can be difficult to decipher. It is ambiguous whether he is innocent or guilty of being involved with the crime. Steve learned to make things unpredictable from his film teacher Mr. Sawicki who teaches him, “If you make your film predictable, they’ll make up their minds about it long before it’s over” (19). Steve took his teacher’s advice and made this film script entirely unpredictable, even after it is over. His lawyer, O’Brien, says in her closing statement, “What can we trace as to the guilt or innocence of my client, Steve Harmon?” (245) This leaves the jury with an undoubtedly difficult decision, as well as the reader, because there are clues to both guilt and innocence in Steve’s case.

    “A nice warm shower, a cup of tea, and a caring ear may be all you need to warm your heart”. Charles Glassman’s quote was exemplified beautifully in the poem “Common Magic” by Bronwen Wallace. The piece took readers through a series of everyday events, explaining how each seemingly meaningless moment contained it’s own kind of magic. Through the use of oxymoron, imagery and characters, Wallace developed the theme that simple pleasures are fleeting and a fulfilled life involves t`21aking time to appreciate everything.

  • Ice Cream In Hamlet

    523 Words  | 2 Pages

    After the death of old King Hamlet, Hamlet was struggling to keep himself and his feelings contained. His mind has so many thoughts running from his father’s death, to his neglected relationships, and from his outlooks on Claudius. For Hamlet, the ingredients of his mind combine together to make his madness. The delicious treat of ice cream is combined with a cluster of ingredients to make the perfect flavor. “Commercial ice cream is made by combining, under constant agitation, the liquid ingredients (milk, cream, syrups, etc.). These liquids are heated and combined with dry ingredients (sugar, stabilizers, dried eggs or milk) to form a mix…” (Britannica, 2016). From then on, recipes and techniques to make ice cream were developed throughout time. In addition to flavors, Hamlet’s heart and mind are so mixed with the thoughts of madness, hatred, or sanity alternating, resembling the three Neapolitan ice cream cone flavors chocolate, strawberry, and vanilla. The ingredients of Hamlet’s madness are mixed together like the ingredients used to make ice cream the perfect flavor, ready to be made into the final product; in Hamlet’s case, it would be revenge.

  • Homunculus Vs Frankenstein

    936 Words  | 2 Pages

    Frankenstein by Mary Shelley, pulls from many myths and legends. The idea of a human creating artificial life can be traced back to early Jewish writings about the golem, and later to the concept in Alchemy known as a homunculus. (Campbell) When Victor Frankenstein begins his studies, he is fascinated by works by authors like Cornelius Agrippa, who wrote books on cabalistic ideas and the occult. After Victor creates the monster, he is written as almost but not quite human. He expresses interest in human activities and longs for a connection to another being, but each human the monster encounters is disgusted by him and as such the monster has little chance in gaining what he desires. This idea that artificially created life cannot quite meet

    Children should and need to be exposed to magic in class rooms and schools while growing up. Some children might not be able to afford books or have a rough time at home and can’t read for entertainment. If children don’t receive this expose in books they will only get it in form of movies, TV shows, and learn form what others say and do. An article said, “Teachers are receiving complaints that teaching the Harry Potter book in classrooms exposes children to ‘witchcraft and Satanism’” (2015, Loughrey) Magic in the book Harry Potter has nothing to do with either of those.
