Night by Elie Wiesel is the first book that would be saved because it tells about the Holocaust, has great examples of emotional appeal, and is one of the best, if not the best, example of a historical tragedy. Telling about the Holocaust is the most important aspect of this book, as the Holocaust continues to be one of the worst historic tragedies in the world. The easiest way to prevent a similar occurrence from happening is by never letting it be forgotten in the first place. This book would be memorized to make sure that it would not be forgotten and hopefully prevent it from happening again. Reading this book makes the reader realize just how fortunate he is/was to not live during that time period, and also helps one understand just how
My thesis would be about Trying different roles and gender role-playing while the experimenting with one’s sexuality. “Exchanging Hats” by Elizabeth Bishop is a whimsical poem about experimenting with pushing gender dress to the limits of acceptability. Hats are customarily used to define a person’s role in society or profession. This poem uses that mantra to depict the different roles that people play, and the different hats they wear to emphasize those roles.

John Updike begins “Perfection Wasted” with the line, “And another regrettable thing about death is the ceasing of your own brand of magic, which took a whole life to develop and market” (Updike, line 1-3), he says that one of the downsides to dying is losing everything you’ve worked your whole life to get. We work hard most of our lives to become something other than ordinary and when we’re finally extraordinary we start to wither away and die. He goes on to say that the phrases we’ve been known to say, our sarcastic statements, and our bias towards certain people all die with us. When we die we take all the delight and sorrow we’ve caused from the world. No one can make someone feel the way we have.
Orson Scott Card’s Ender’s Game was published in 1985 and brought about many opinions and views. One such opinion turned into an essay by a person named John Kessel, who published Creating the Innocent Killer in Foundation, The International Review of Science Fiction in 2004. John Kessel detailed how Card created Ender for the purpose of garnering the audience’s sympathy to distract them from Ender’s bad deeds. But Kessel’s argument provides many facts and statistics from different qualified people, so whether people agree with him or not, he makes several true points and arguments that nobody can disagree with.
Julia de Burgos’ poem, Ay, Ay, Ay of the Kinky- Haired Negress frames her poem by adopting an individual persona “I” which allows her to speak with legitimacy on the self. However, some might argue that she also universalized the poem to include the black exploited slaves to create identity for everyone. The poem not only redefines the role of a black woman but it also redefines the foreign and obscure issues in identity. Ay, ay, ay, that am kinky-haired and pure black kinks in my hair, Kafir in my lips; and my flat nose Mozambiques.

In the novel Frankenstein by Mary Shelley, the creature that Victor Frankenstein creates is not born evil. One cannot be born evil because we are shaped by our environment and the people we are exposed to therefore it is impossible for one to be born evil. Some may become evil by committing vile and destructive actions in which they are taught or were brought up to be. When ‘the monster’ had been created he had no idea what to think or say.
