  • Analysis Of The Book ' Of The Unknown Americans '

    1069 Words  | 3 Pages

    After reading The Book of the Unknown Americans, I realized how difficult immigrating to the United States can be. I am an immigrant also, so just reading the story makes me relate to many problems immigrants experience relocating to a different country. Immigrants often face many issues and difficulties, but for some it is all worth it, but for others there comes a point in time where they have to go back to their hometown. Alma and Arturo Rivera came to the United States to better their life, but also so that Maribel could attend a special education school. While Arturo had a job things had gone well for the family, but once Arturo lost the job and passed away the two of them had to go back because they felt that that was the best option for them. Reading this book made me realize how strong an individual has to be to leave their own country and relocate somewhere else not knowing if this will better your life or cause one to suffer.

    The setting is essential to make the plot convincing in the short story “The Most Dangerous Game” by Richard Connell. For instance, General Zaroff makes a false channel to make ships sink, so he can get his prey. Ships will believe that the channel is clear of rocks. Zaroff shows Rainsford the lights out on the water, and states “‘They indicate a channel, . . . where there's none; giant rocks with razor edges crouch like a sea monster with wide open jaws”’(8). The false channel provides General Zaroff with his prey for the game because when ships sink as a result of the channel, the passengers aboard must swim to the nearest island making them Zaroff's prey. Another reason the setting is necessary for the plot to work is that the story is on

  • Oedipus The King: Role Of Gods

    1054 Words  | 3 Pages

    “Gods can be evil sometimes.” In the play “Oedipus the King”, Sophocles defamed the gods’ reputation, and lowered their status by making them look harmful and evil. It is known that all gods should be perfect and infallible, and should represent justice and equity, but with Oedipus, the gods decided to destroy him and his family for no reason. It might be hard to believe that gods can have humanistic traits, but in fact they do. The gods, especially Apollo, are considered evil by the reader because they destroyed an innocent man’s life and his family. They destroyed Oedipus by controlling his fate, granting people the power of prophecy, telling Oedipus about his fate through the oracle of Apollo, and finally afflicting the people of Thebes with a dreadful plague. Fundamentally, by utilizing fate, prophecies, the oracle of Apollo, and the plague, the gods played a significant role in the destruction of Oedipus and his family.
