Maggie in Alice Walker’s short story “Everyday Use” plays the role of being the nervous and ugly sister of the story, however she is the child with the good heart. Maggie was nervous ashamed of her scars “Maggie was nervous… she will stand hopelessly in corners, homely ashamed of the burn scars down her arms and legs”. Living in a house with a pretty sister and being the ugly sister with scars could be the reason why she picked up on a timid personality, being ‘ashamed’ of her own skin shaping her in a way that she degraded herself from everybody else.

Tuck Everlasting is beautifully written by Natalie Babbitt, for it has very deep messages that readers will relate to. This book’s messages of the values of life, death, and love will influence my decisions in life for the better. The characters and themes can be used to understand life in a superior way. Winnie’s decisions do help the Tucks and to not drink the water are great examples to follow. Also, the metaphor that life is a wheel helps readers with the concept of living and dieing.

François-Marie Arouet, better known by his pen name, Voltaire, is best known in the modern societies as a writer who stood up against tyranny, cruelty and oppression . Being a historian, philosopher, ‘Newtonian’ and an Enlightenment thinker, Voltaire perceived the French bourgeoisie to be too small and ineffective, the aristocracy to be parasitic and corrupt, the commoners to be ignorant and superstitious, and the church (religion) to be a static force used to have stronghold against the monarchy . Keeping this in mind, it is easy to presume why he quoted ‘history is a lie commonly agreed upon’. I believe the two key words in this quote are ‘lie’ and ‘commonly’, therefore to explore and analyze this statement, we need to see with what significance these two words were used.
