Kill A Mockingbird Scout And Jem
652 wordsTo Kill a Mockingbird For me To Kill a Mocking Bird by Harper Lee is the clear demonstration of a moralistic literature.

I want to describe the book plot, its characters, and major themes in combination with the expression of my own opinion about different situations depicted in the book.

Return Home 5 Ln
885 wordsThe majority of the Odyssey is an account of Odysseus adventures (or, rather, misadventures) trying to reach his homeland of Ithaka. Several of these adventures are false homecomings, the most prominent of which is his imprisonment on Kalypso s island. This false homecoming is strikingly different from what one would expect of Odysseus real homecoming, but similar enough for parallels to be drawn between the two.
