Please say if reading!) Harry sighed heavily from his place backstage before blowing himself a kiss in the mirror. Tonight was going to be a good one. Harry was a stripper, and a damn good one at that. He worked at a gay bar, which he adored because he had lots of people who tipped him and he could look pretty for money. It was a good job.

Night, a narrative by Elie Wiesel, contains many themes. However, the universal theme is survival. In his narrative, Wiesel expresses how the concentration camps were harsh and deadly. This contributes to the theme of survival because not many people survived these camps. Every day, thousands of helpless, innocent citizens died from the cruel treatment exerted on them. Even though he was weak, Wiesel survived the harsh treatment from Hitler’s soldiers. He also conquered the starvation in the camps. Wiesel conveys the message of survival by describing the brutal way the camps treated him and his father. Wiesel’s character also changes his view of God.
In certain societies everything involved in one’s life is influenced by the government. A government with total control is known as totalitarian. One of the methods that these totalitarian governments use is propaganda. Propaganda is “the spreading of ideas, information, or rumor for the purpose of helping or injuring an institution, a cause, or a person” (Merriam-Webster). In the novel 1984 by George Orwell, the protagonist, Winston Smith, is influenced by the ideas presented by the government of Oceania. The totalitarian government in this novel, known as “The Party” ensures that the citizens’ minds are filled with propaganda and confusion so that thoughts of rebellion cannot be sustained. In the novel Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, protagonist, Guy Montag, begins to question the society around him, and with the help of a few allies, changes his views. In this novel the government uses propaganda to promote certain things in society, such as burning books. An example of this technique in the real world, is carried out by the ruler of North Korea. In the country of North Korea, dictator Kim Jong Un uses propaganda to restrict his people from the world around them. For decades North Korea has been one of the world’s most secretive societies. It is one of the few countries still under formal communist rule. Throughout history, freedom of expression is often limited by the government, allowing them to use propaganda as a method of totalitarian

Blood, whether it be the color, smell, or importance is vital to life itself. However, almost exceeding the importance of physical blood is the imagery of blood found throughout William Shakespeare's, Macbeth. The continual presence of blood in Shakespeare's, Macbeth is constantly reminding the audience how significant the consequences of the characters actions are. The imagery of blood in Shakespeare's, Macbeth represents the guilt felt by Macbeth and Lady Macbeth due to their brutal actions, thus developing the theme ‘the corrupting power of unchecked ambition’. As their guilt grows, so does the importance of the blood imagery and how it haunts both characters, staining their soul.

Anyone who has worked with children will agree that they are very impressionable. Even young adults are influenced by the media, literature, peers, money, and paradigms which is why parents and guardians would also agree that any impressionable source their children come in contact with should include desirable, good-natured content, such as life lessons and morals.

Parents and guardians believe that Harry Potter should be banned from use in schools and libraries, but they don’t
