people are judged primarily on their looks and the amount of money that they have. As we take a look into the short story, “Wild Plums”, one can agree that the primary purpose of this short story is to illustrate how people believe they are inferior to others because of the way they look or act. The main family in the story thinks they are too good to go pick wild plums with the slumps and they think they are too good to be around them. When the little girl talks about visiting the Slump’s at their

Cover to Cover Janet Evanovich has been writing the well-known Stephanie Plum series for twenty years, which is longer than I have been alive. In my birth year, 1997, she wrote the third book in the series, Three to Get Deadly, and seventeen years later Evanovich wrote Top Secret Twenty-One.

Plum Garden at Kameido In this paper I will discuss the print called Plum Garden at Kameido. This print was created by Ando Hiroshige in 1857. It is a woodblock print. In the front of the print is a close up of a tree. It is an image of a plum tree in a plum garden. The tree has pretty white blooms on it. For this reason it is logical to assume that it must be springtime. Working back, I see two more plum trees. None of the trees have much detail of the bark texture. I can see that if these

In the stories, both narrators begin the story sheltered and uneducated about the lifestyles of others, leaving them curious. The unnamed narrator in “Wild Plums” describes an early experience in her life as, “The first time
