Classic Hero Theseus Mary Renault Tells Story
791 wordsReview of Mary Renault's The King Must Die Mary Renault tells a wonderfully dashing tale of the classic Hero Theseus, who was said to have lived shortly before the time of the Trojan War. Although the book is very appealing to me the author did not follow the classic legends in several aspects. This can be a good technique and does bring newness to the story, however some departures changed the very fabric of the tale. In Renault's story many details are added that give the tale much more flavor...

Role In Society Miss Havisham

Monkey Island And Missing May
350 wordsMonkey Island and Missing May were both very well written fictional books. I did not think Missing May was believable though. I don't expect a child will relate to a young orphan girl whose uncle is trying to contact the spiritual realm in search of his wife, May. Monkey Island on the other hand was quite believable. It sounds like the thoughts of an 11 -year-old boy whose parents deserted him. I feel he should have been angrier with his mother for acting like a child herself but then again he's...

Edgar Allen Poe House Of Usher
974 wordsWhen reviewing Nathaniel Hawthorne's Tales, Edgar Allen Poe pronounced that the short story, if skillfully written, should deliver a single preconceived effect- an effect upon which incidents be fashioned to accommodate that effect. Edgar Allen Poe was indeed a skillful writer. His short story, "The Fall of the House of Usher" is a flawless example of a story in which all elements contribute to the delivery of a single emotional effect. Poe accomplishes this by achieving a perfect tone, developi...

Howards End Book Review
1,331 wordsHowards End by E. M. Forster deals with the conflict of class distinctions and human relationships. The quintessence of the main theme of this lovely novel is: "Only connect! Only connect the prose and passion and human love will be seen at its height. Live in fragments no longer. " This excerpt represents the main idea that Forster carries through the book: relationships, not social status, are -- or at least should be -- the most important thing for people. Howards End was written in 1910. Tha...

How can we say we are for a certain notion when we ourselves cannot even back up what we believe in? How much information must we hold before we entirely believe something? From todays deba...
