In Prep by Curtis Sittenfeld, Holden would like Lee because she is a predictable person. For instance, she is predicted to do anything anybody asks her to even though if she does not like it or promised that she would never do it again because she puts peoples’ needs before her own. For instance, “And this was it, the last time: I was retiring from cutting hair” (158). This shows that Lee is retiring from hair cutting because she felt disgusted by Aspeth and Cross’ behavior.

The Book of Daniel is the only full-blown apocalyptic book in the Protestant recognized version of the Canon. A literary device divides the book into two halves. Chapters 1-6 are a collection of stories that introduces the reader to Daniel and three other Israelites as unwilling guests of the Babylonia Empire ruled by Nebuchadnezzar. The second half, Chapters 7-12 consists of apocalyptic imagery of deformed beasts and the heavenly court. The focus of this paper will be on chapter 7, which serves as a bridge of the two halves.

In “The Damned Human Race,” Mark Twain claims humanity is a lesser species due to the cognitive ability to understand right from wrong. This claim is again seen throughout The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. By utilizing the Duke and Dauphin, Twain exemplifies his position that society holds a corrupt moral code, making the species damned, yet he counter argues this by using a young protagonist.
