I will be going to compare and contrast the ways in which fathers,
sons and the relationship between them are presented in three of the
stories I have studied.
All of the stories I have read have had shared a common background in
one-way or another. However, in particular, Kiss Me Carol by Farrukh
Dhondy, Drunkard Of The River by Michael Anthony and The Exercise by
…. have seemed to share a very strong theme in the relationship
between father and son. The tension created in all three short stories
is quite breathtaking and done in different ways in which I will
explain and explore.
In the story by Farrukh Dhondy, we as the reader are given the
impression that Mr Mirah demands respect from his son Jolil. To
further prove this point, Jolil does not tell his father about the
letter in fear of his farther thinking it’s a complaint.
In contrast to this, from li...
The chapter “A Fathers Influence” is constructed with several techniques including selection of detail, choice of language, characterization, structure and writers point of view to reveal Blackburn’s values of social acceptance, parenting, family love, and a father’s influence. Consequently revealing her attitude that a child’s upbringing and there parents influence alter the characterization of a child significantly.
The word blind and tears show the nature of love and how love can hurt
Of all the qualities in a hero, the ones that make helping a heroic act are honesty, wisdom, dedication and conviction, which John from Whale Talk by Chris Crutcher and Clarisse from Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury portray. John and Clarisse are both honest about everything no matter what anyone says or thinks. They also take the wisdom they gain from their experiences, and use it to create a positive impact on those that they are helping. The level of dedication that John shows is one side of a pole while Clarisse’s level of dedication is on the other. Clarisse puts more conviction into changing perspective, since she does this just by staying true to her opinion. John and Clarisse both show honesty and wisdom in their actions when they are helping people, but they differ in the level of dedication that makes them heroes and heroines.
The short story girl by Jamaica Kincaid and the short story lust by Susan Minot are both very similar and very different stories. Both stories have themes that are similar to each other because they both talk about a teenager who is about to start adulthood and it talks about how they deal with growing up. Another Theme that the two stories share is how a women should treat men and how women should make others view themselves.
Realism is a literary movement that attempts to describe life without romanticism or idealistic prejudgment (writershistory.com). Although realism cannot be precisely timed or limited to any period, it is most often associated with a movement in 19th-century. Henry James and Kate Chopin are regarded as two of the key figures of 19th-century literary realism. James contributed knowingly realism, particularly in his persistence that writers will be allowed freedom of independence in presenting their judgment of the world. Kate Chopin participated in realism movement by placing awareness and importance on women's lives and their repeated fights to create a self-image of their own within the Southern culture of the late nineteenth century. The views of American society to race and gender in the works Desiree's baby by Kate Chopin and Daisy Miller by Henry James can be easily distinguished from the 19th-century from today’s society.

Survival stories have many people facing lots of challenges. Today I will be looking at Brian from Brian’s winter by Gary Paulsen and Buck from Call of the Wild by Jack London. We are going to be look at how they develop the personal traits we all know as a characters traits. I will be discussing the way they act towards nature. Also how they act towards the cold. Finally I will be talking about how they are acting in their situations.

In Theodore Roethke’s My Papa’s Waltz, and Lucille Clifton’s forgiving my father we can observe a complex relationship between a father and their child. Although the soon in My Papa’s Waltz appears to be recalling a memory with fondness, the overall story is a symbol of their difficult relationship. However, Roethke appears to very much love his father and accept him for who he was. On the other hand, in forgiving my father Clifton feels hatred towards her father, and is not able to forgive him for who he was. By comparing these two stories we see that it’s vital for one to accept his parents for who they are, even if they are not perfect.
The role of a father could be a difficult task when raising a son. The ideal relationship between father and son perhaps may be; the father sets the rules and the son obeys them respectfully. However it is quite difficult to balance a healthy relationship between father and son, because of what a father expects from his son. For instance in the narratives, “Death of a Salesman,” and “Fences” both Willy and Troy are fathers who have a difficult time in earning respect from their sons, and being a role model for them. Between, “Death of a Salesman,” and “Fences,” both protagonists, Willy and Troy both depict the role of a father in distinctive ways; however, in their struggle, Willy is the more sympathetic of the two.
Women in the Victorian Era, and analysis of “A Rose for Emily” by William Faulkner and “The Storm” by Kate Chopin.
The Madonna and Child, created by Cenni di Francesco di Ser Cenni between 1410 and 1415, is an iconographic painting of the Virgin Mary (left) and a chubby baby Jesus (right). The panel is painted with tempera and the halos around Mary’s and Jesus’s heads are made from goldleaf. La Toilette, painted by Richard Miller in 1910, is an Impressionist painting of a woman putting on her make up. He uses this subject to compare putting on makeup to applying oil paint on a canvas. In order to create the desired impact on the viewer of their paintings, Cenni and Miller use similar stylistic techniques to portray their female subjects.
Nonetheless, this really is a tale of compelling love between the boy and his father. The actions of the boy throughout the story indicate that he really does love his father and seems very torn between his mother expectations and his father’s light heartedness. Many adults and children know this family circumstance so well that one can easily see the characters’ identities without the author even giving the boy and his father a name. Even without other surrounding verification of their lives, the plot, characters, and narrative have meshed together quite well.
