Differences between people have been around since the begin of mankind, they have started great disasters such as every war ever started, deaths, and sometimes disappears. In the nonfiction passage Confetti Girl, by Diana Lopez, and the nonfiction text from Tortilla Sun, by Jennifer Cervantes, both the narrator's point of views differ from those of their parents, therefore creating conflict between each other. In Confetti Girl, the narrator is the little girl that feels her father is ignoring her because he cares too much about literature. In Tortilla Sun the other little girl feels her mother cares only about getting her degree and is not concerned about the needs of the girl.

I will be analyzing the character Schmidt in a short clip of flashbacks from the show New Girl; Schmidt is actually one of my favorite characters , but I am now realizing some things about him that I haven 't thought of before. For instance, in "Bachelorette Party," they showed a flashback of "fat" Schmidt in college with his ex-girlfriend before he became a body-obsessed guy and changed completely. Schmidt has also confessed in another episode of being judgmental of others appearances because of his experience as an overweight child that has left him emotionally traumatized. Many of the flashback videos put emphasis on his stomach, showing him having trouble with the topic of girls and eating large amounts of food. The shows flashbacks
When short stories are written they can be realistic, nonrealistic, scary, fantasy, etc. Some of the more realistic stories have the plot grow from the characters, meaning that the story unfolds and makes sense because of a character's personality. However there are stories that are set in a realistic time or place, but the story itself is less likely to happen in real life based on the behavior and personality of the characters, and appears to happen only by chance or coincidence. The short stories, "The Man Who Knew Belle Starr", by Richard Bausch and "A Good Man is Hard to Find", by Flannery O'Connor, follow fatal moments in their character's lives.
Among many characteristics of postmodernist thinking, an especially crucial one is relativism, the concept that one individual’s understanding of the world differs from another’s due to his personal experience. Each person experiences his own, albeit biased, version of the truth, informed by his background and cultural identity. Relativism finds its start in post-World War II America, a time when cultural identity becomes more prevalent and informs the way every person interacts with his surroundings. People begin to use many different labels and identifiers to create quasi-tribal cultural groups, and the public values the idea of diversity. The postmodern principles of relativism, cultural division, and diversity, in turn, lead writers like

At the Ocotillo Ball, Hillari Kimble spotted Stargirl and called her, “Stardust” (Spinelli 175). Then, Hillari Kimble walked toward to Stargirl and slapped her, “You ruin everything” (Spinelli 175).

By all appearances, Miss Strangeworth is a sweet, old lady, living in a perfect, shiny, happy town. But appearances are not everything, especially in the case of Miss Adela Strangeworth of Pleasant Street. Miss Adela Strangeworth, a character in the short story “The Possibility of Evil” by Shirley Jackson, is a 71-year-old spinster living in a small town in the 1940’s. At the beginning, she seems like any normal old lady, but it is quickly realized that this is not the case and that she has a dark side. Of the many traits that Miss Strangeworth possesses, the most prominent are her deceptiveness, perfectionism, and the god complex that has developed.
"Character is what you are in the dark." -Dwight Lyman Moody. I believe that this quote is saying that when everyone is looking at a character or the attention is on them it’s easy to be the heroic good guy, but it takes real strength to do the right thing when no one is looking, even if the right thing to do isn’t easy or sometimes safe. For the story and character, I’m using in this essay, I am going to have to say I disagree with the quote.
