Literature of the Americas has many stories and they all have comparisons, but they also have many differences. “Day of the Butterfly” by Alice Monro and “Crossroads: A Sad Vaudeville” by Carlos Solórzano have characters that share some traits and ways, but like all characters they have things that are different.

The article Poor Teeth was written by Sarah Smarsh with the goal in mind being to shed light on the issue between upper and lower class society in a particularly concrete way. Teeth and dental health are an easy thing for people to imagine in their head because everyone has a set whether they’re white and shiny or black and rotted. This makes it easy to draw a comparison between people that care for their teeth and those who don’t. However, access to dental knowledge and services which the lower class often times doesn’t have is very different between the poor and the rich. While the rich stroll through life showing off their perfect glossy white rows of teeth, there are less privileged people out there with barren mouths whose weak pale gums

Many people have trouble connecting the terms ‘classic novel’ and ‘humorous’. However, when reminded of the adventures of the ingenious hidalgo of La Mancha, many will be able to make the connection. The diversity, wit, charm, humor, and philosophy presented in the novel make it one of the most famous novels ever written. Don Quixote, written by Miguel de Cervantes focuses on the titular, self-proclaimed knight-errant and his squire Sancho Panza’s adventures prompted by the knight’s delusion. Quixote was originally a man of sound mind, but becomes mad and believes everything he reads in books of chivalry to be true. A second volume was added ten years later, when Quixote has been thrust into the public eye and ridiculed, leading to many philosophical discussions on the natures of deception and delusion. The novel has been considered the first piece on modern literature because of the emphasis it adds on the characters and their development, especially in the second volume. Due to the historical significance, commentary on other novels, and philosophical discussion, Don Quixote should be taught in a high school curriculum.
