  • Magical Dinner By Chang-Rae Lee Analysis

    312 Words  | 1 Pages

    The worst essay from this semester is Magical Dinners by Chang-rae Lee. Why even have this atrocity on the syllabus? Magical Dinners is very blandly written (almost as bland as the food his family makes). This was made obvious by the fact that nobody in our class was into it and there was silence during the whole discussion instead of lots of participation. Furthermore, the only rhetoric I could find Lee even attempting to use was code grooming, which was highly unsuccessful because the meals that his mom made did not sound good and were unable to grab my attention or appetite. This is illustrated when Lee writes “She cooks an egg for me each morning without fail. I might also have with it fried Spam or cereal or a slice of American cheese,

  • Love in One Perfect Rose by Dorothy Parker and Cinderella’s Diary by Ron Koertge

    1258 Words  | 3 Pages

    A rose is the ultimate yet simplest sign of love. Billions are sold on Valentine’s Day and countless numbers are sold to epitomize a lover’s feelings throughout the year. The delicate petals, harsh and unforgiving thorns, vivid and deep colors, all of the things associated with a rose go towards it being the best way to sum up a person’s love for another. The rose has often been associated with a sign of romance. The thought of romance is not as appreciated in today’s time period in comparison to, say, fifty years ago. With this in mind, we can examine how the love has changed in symbolism over the years using poetry and literature. “One Perfect Rose” by Dorothy Parker and “Cinderella’s Diary” by Ron Koertge both speak about the beauty and gratitude of being in love, Parker speaks more to the materialistic view of love that has been manifesting over the past century, especially in the American culture while Koertge gives a more humble and earnest viewpoint.

  • The Theme Of Love In The Lais Of Marie De France

    1210 Words  | 3 Pages

    In The Lais of Marie de France, the theme of love is conceivably of the utmost importance. Particularly in the story of Guigemar, the love between a knight and a queen brings them seemingly true happiness. The lovers commit to each other an endless devotion and timeless affection. They are tested by distance and are in turn utterly depressed set apart from their better halves. Prior to their coupling the knight established a belief to never have interest in romantic love while the queen was set in a marriage that left her trapped and unhappy. Guigemar is cursed to have a wound only cured by a woman’s love; he is then sent by an apparent fate to the queen of a city across the shores. The attraction between them sparks quickly and is purely based on desire, but desire within romantic love is the selfishness of it.

    The author, Amy Tan is a fictional writer who is “fascinated by language in daily life” and inscribes her love for language into her work. As the article, “Mother Touge” progressed into the beginning paragraphs, she realized the different types of “Englishes” she uses. She was giving a speech to an audience with her mother in the crowd about her new book when she realized the language she speaks to the audience is different from her conversation with her mom. Then, later in the book she was walking with her husband and mother and noticed one of her “Englishes”. This type of English, “No waste money that way”, was a personal language that she only used around her family. She did not speak this “limited” language in public or professional settings because of judgment and disrespect. She

    We covered the plots of each book; Two only-children of families that detested one another falling in love to the point of ending in tragic death and one man searching for two separate types of life to the point of losing himself in death. We covered many examples of duality in both books. If you noticed these books plots are similar, not in book type but in the pure fact that these books both show some of the same features of writing like duality, obsession, figurative language, and many more themes and features. These books don't have the same genre or anything like that but they are the same in the way that they use literary devices and other things. These books both explore many concepts that are alike but none as much as duality. They show the duality of human nature and many more. The next time you read a book maybe you’ll notice some dualistic features in it as

  • Similarities Between The Science Fiction Legend

    528 Words  | 2 Pages

    Conflicts are what cause these two novels so exciting. For example, in 1984, Winston wants to kill and rape Julia before he actually met her. He had the idea that she was a member of the thought police, and since he tends to spot her everywhere, he concluded she was stalking him. It was, at the time, an internal conflict between right and survival. If she was part of the Thought Police, then it would be in his best interest to eliminate her one way or another. However, he was not 100% sure whether she was or not, and it would not be right to kill her if she wasn't. In Legend, one of the other main characters, June, has to lie to Day, even though he has feelings for her, as she is part of the government and Day is a
