A poor woodcutter named Ali Baba who is working in a forest, and whose brother is far richer than him, secretly watches from a tree as a Captain and his forty thieves open a secret vault filled with gold using the words, “Open Sesame”. When they leave, Ali Baba repeats their actions, breaking into the vault (Section 348: Breaking and Entering - R.S.C., 1985, c. C-46 s. 348) to steal the money inside (Section 322: Theft - R.S.C., 1985, c. C-46 s. 322), and returns home to his wife with several bags of gold, which he intends to bury. Before burying them, his wife wishes to measure how much gold they have and borrows a scale from Ali Baba’s brother, Cassim. When she returns the scale, Cassim’s wife notices a gold coin still left in it and alerts her husband that his brother has more money than him. …show more content…

The thief leaves a white chalk mark in front of the house where Morgiana kept Cassim’s body, but she was smarter than him. When he left to get his captain, she marked the same spot in front of six other houses, making it impossible for the thieves to find her. When his plan fails, the Captain forces all his men into empty oil barrels attached to donkeys and brings them to Ali Baba’s property (Section 177: Trespassing at Night - R.S.C., 1985, c. C-34 s. 177), where he pretends to be a merchant in need of a bed for the night. He plans to let all his men loose during the night to kill Ali Baba and Morgiana. When Morgiana goes out to fetch some oil, she finds the men in the barrels and kills them all (Section 222: Homicide - R.S.C., 1985, c. C-46 s. 222). The Captain panics and flees from the scene, vowing to

the crime. Hassan and his father Ali, to Baba's extreme sorrow, decide that it's time to leave.
Fathers have a remarkable influence on their children. Every son looks up to their dad, and dreams of becoming a man just like them. In the novel Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini, Ali and Baba play a tremendous role in their sons lives: Hassan and Amir. Both boys strive to become the man their father is, and would go to any measures just to mirror their fathers. All children need a father figure in their lives, and even though Ali and Baba raised their children differently, they were both loved unconditionally.

Thinking Baba was dead, Amir already started to worry about his future and how he was going to make it in life by himself. All of Amir’s life he had someone to always count on, he could count on Hassan to fight most of his battle for him and Baba to provide him with food, shelter, and an education. But when it could have possibly been time for Amir to leave the nest he realized how unprepared he was for the world. He also realized that who he was “had been defined by Baba”(Hosseini 174), his whole image was because of his father and not him. Once Baba did really die, Amir was “terrified” of the thought of finding his own way in life because “Baba couldn’t...show the way anymore”(Hosseini 174). In addition, Amir relied on others to get him
It has been such a joy reading “The Norton Introduction to Literature” by Kelly J. Mays. Of all the stories that I was assigned to read, one story in particular stood out to me because of how the author used words to create a vivid image in my mind. The story I’m talking about is “Araby” by James Joyce. James Joyce does a great job creating vivid images in the readers mind and creates a theme that most of us can relate. In this paper I will be discussing five scholarly peer reviewed journals that also discusses the use of image and theme that James Joyce created in his short story “Araby”. Before I start diving into discussing these five scholarly peer review journals, I would like to just write a little bit about “Araby” by James Joyce. James Joyce is an Irish writer, mostly known for modernist writing and his short story “Araby” is one of fifteen short stories from his first book that was published called “Dubliners”. Lastly, “Araby” is the third story in Dubliners. Now I will be transitioning to discussing the scholarly peer review journals.
Baba felt America to be a place where he spent most of his time mourning his life in Afghanistan. The irony is that his homeland that he once knew ceased to exist. He was mourning the life he once had, but the life was long gone. Ever since Baba moved to America, he has not been the same from when he was in Kabul. Amir says,” Baba loved the idea of America. It was living there that gave him an ulcer” (Hosseini 125). Baba really enjoyed the idea that Amir, and he would have the chance to start a new life. Baba feels that this way, they will not have to live in fear every day. Kabul was being
Muhammad Ali, who has not heard about him? The one boxer known as "The Greatest", heavyweight champion of the world four times, famous for his delight and his unique way with words, previously named Cassius Clay. I consider a hero someone that has done great things and has gotten people's respect. Muhammad Ali is known for being the champ and master at boxing. This documentary mainly is put out to demonstrate how Ali is showing his hard goals were accomplished, him standing up for his own rights, and doing things that would probably be hard for people in my society to do now. Muhammad Ali Cassius Clay is the person who fills my standards of a hero. He accomplished his uphill battle ambitions by getting metals in the olympics. Muhammad Ali

a reason for Hassan's death. This sin of theft is also one of the thing that really humanizes Baba, and shows him going back on his one rule making him more like Amir, so in a way the sin of theft brings them closer even after death. Another theme shown in the book is redemption. Redemption is shown in Amir's beating, “Another rib snapped, this time left lower. What
Paul, the child, knew that his family wanted money, and he knew that he was lucky, betting on the horses. Paul became partners with the gardener. He picked the horse, and the gardener placed the bet. Paul had started out with five shillings but his winnings kept adding up. When he had made 10,000 pounds he decided to give his mother 1000 pounds a year for five years. He wanted his winnings to be a secret so a lawyer handled the money. Paul saw the envelope from the lawyer and asked his mother if she had received anything good in the mail. She said "Quite moderately nice" (p. 168) in a cold voice. She liked getting the money, but she wasn't happy. She wanted more.
On the surface Muhammad is usually considered to be a prophet and messenger of God, but when looking closer we can see that He played many more roles in His life time including one of a Statesman.
Muhammad Ali is one of the most decorated athletes in American history. For decades he dominated the boxing world going against any and every opposition that came before him. His stamina and charisma has yet to be matched by any athlete since him. The Vietnam War drove many Americans into the vicious battle. Many served faithfully but Muhammad Ali refused to serve his country in that way. His career was threatened and he was on the verge of being named one of the great villains of American history simply because he refused to fight in a war that his religion did not believe in and that most Americans would find in bad taste just years later.
