Truth be told, he composed the main stanza years before in “Through the Looking Glass” (Carroll 1). Realizing that the perusers of the novel would not comprehend this fantastical stanza, Carroll incorporated his very own explanation through the expressions of Humpty-Dumpty later in “Through the Looking Glass”. Humpty-Dumpty clarifies what the creator implied with his utilization of words like "slithy." Carroll put stock in upgrading significance by consolidating words to go up against the implying that each word would have independent
Son of a Trickster by Eden Robinson is an Indigenous mythology-based story that follows sixteen-year-old Jared as he struggles with his powers, relationships and overall life. The theme of family, specifically the decisions and roles of Jared's family, significantly affects his personal growth. More particularly from the actions of Maggie Moody, Phil Martin and Nana Sophia. Maggie Moody, Jared's mother, affects Jared's morals and how he feels about violence, Phil Martin, Jared's father, affects Jared’s emotional maturity, and Nana Sophia embodies the feelings resulting from the abandonment of a family member. Maggie's violent approach to life has desensitized Jared to violence, making him less emotionally vulnerable since violence requires a lack of empathy.
Jared Martin struck me as an interesting and relatable protagonist. I enjoyed his portrayal's complexity and authenticity as I read the pages. I identified strongly with Jared's life's journey, struggles, and exploration of his own identity. He was an interesting and compelling character because of how he handled the difficulties that came his way, which drew me into his story. The novel's insightful and accurate portrayal of Indigenous characters and their experiences was what really caught my attention.

Twisted Reflections From Oppression In his short story entitled Amusements, Sherman Alexie resignedly explores the impact discrimination against Native American people has in everyday life through the main character Victor’s experiences at an amusement park. Alexie portrays a young boy, Victor, who narrates his time spent with his friend Sadie and drunken “Dirty Joe” at the carnival. The two put “Dirty Joe” on a rollercoaster but soon regret their prank when they are faced with hate, making them oddly aware of how their presence as indigenous people is viewed from the outside perspective of white people. By focusing on social situations in which Native Americans are treated as lesser than white people, Sherman Alexie in his short story Amusements,
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.

The story takes you on an adventure through the different places they were going. In the book, there is a guy named Sam and a guy without a name. Sam is trying to get the character to eat the green eggs and ham.
“Whenever you’re in a conflict with someone, there is one factor that can make the difference between damaging your relationship and deepening it. That factor is attitude”-William James. A positive attitude has the ability to fix any conflicts that may arise between two people. Gabriella and Liam from the short story “Bluffing” by Gail Helgason and Ann and John from “The Painted Door” by Sinclair Ross both face conflicts; however, Ann and John have a better attitude creating a healthier relationship based on faith, consideration and understanding. “Faith: complete trust or confidence in someone or something”.

In Neil Postman’s Amusing Ourselves to Death the writer tries to prove the fact that media has a powerful impact on people because makes them accept whatever it says, using persuasion, their emotions and the fact that they believe that whatever is been said must be true and right. Therefore, what the author tries to say is that too often people think nothing of what they see or read in the media and they simply accept everything. In this first chapter of the book, The medium is the metaphor, he proposes that "our media-metaphors classify the world for us, sequence it, frame it, enlarge it, reduce it, color it, argue a case for the what the world is like"(page 10). By this quotes, I consider he shows us that people does not realize the way that
A Surprise Ending In his "Modest Proposal" Jonathan Swift has given an amazement to the peruses toward the end. Be that as it may, Swift's astonishment ought not to be viewed as an amazement at all because, intelligently, he has rendered careful endeavors (through the method of parody and incongruity) to set up his peruses for the astounding end. In his, work Swift has accentuated on the lamentable and curious financial state of Ireland under the frontier control of Britain. Furthermore, it is for challenging the insensitivity of the legislature towards the people which has upheld Swift to give such an astonishing and answer for the persevering financial issues.
People can have contrasting reactions to the same stimuli; certain things can have a larger effect on some people than others. Strand conveys this message through his unique and somewhat strange poem. He expands even more by adding the idea of a confused and somewhat upset librarian. This librarian does not know what to make of the man’s actions, and, at a certain point, she could not take it anymore; she screams out of utter realization. This was not her suddenly understanding the man 's actions, but rather an awareness of her own emotions.
