Explain the book’s title so clearly that someone who has not yet read the book could understand how the title relates to the book’s plot and/or theme. Use the author’s name and the book’s title in your explanation. Robert Louis Stevenson titles his book Kidnapped because the main character, David Balfour, gets kidnapped. The title, Kidnapped, also tells what kind of novel it is, which is an adventure story. Not only does Robert Louis Stevenson give away what’s going to happen in the novel, but he makes the readers think in suspense about which character is going to be kidnapped. Kidnapped is written by Robert Louis Stevenson at an earlier date to mimic the events happening in 1751. In relation, Robert Louis Stevenson wrote Kidnapped after real-life events, so he made it seem entirely real-life by claiming the book was written by a real person related the Stevenson and by naming the main character after his real name, Robert Louis Balfour Stevenson.

History has a tendency to be biased. Always told from the apparent side of the ‘good’. From the British being the bad guys in the Revolutionary War, to the idea, that terrorism raised because of the War in Iraq, the media, as well as other sources, tends to be biased towards the side that we, as humans, are more likely to be able to relate with. However, the untold side of the story is always the one with more facts, and it is the one that is truly the key to figure out motive. The book, Chasing Lincoln’s Killer, written by James Swanson is one, such text that reports how the man who assassinated Abraham Lincoln, John Wilkes Booth, created his plan and the manhunt that followed.

Everyone everywhere struggles with conflicts on a daily basis. Some of these conflicts may be external conflicts as well as internal conflicts. Just like our lives, literature that is composed has a combination of these internal and external conflicts. These conflicts are as follows: individual versus individual, individual versus self, individual versus technology, individual versus society, and individual versus nature. Although, “What You Pawn I will Redeem,” by Sherman Alexie, and, “Where are You going, where have You Been,” by Joyce Oates have several different conflicts throughout both stories, in this paper I will focus on the internal conflicts of both of the fundamental characters, Jackson and Connie, and I will utilize different literary
The checkered past and symbolism of the Overlook Hotel in Stephen King’s novel ,The Shining, reflects the characters’ pasts and influences their actions in order to show the building as more of an antagonist (of sorts) than a setting. One example of support for the claim is when Jack Torrence is having a dream after discovering the blood and bits in the Presidential suite from a gang fight years prior, where he believes that he is killing an intruder of the hotel with a mallet, but as he threw the mallet down, “the face below him was not of the intruder but of Danny’s. It was the face of his son. Then the mallet crashed home, closing his eyes forever. Suddenly Jack awoke standing over Danny’s bed, his fists clenched tightly.”
