Thomas C. Foster prefaces his book by giving an example of how a figure like the devil is symbolized in many stories, even in a character that appears to be a simple man. A deal with the devil usually includes the protagonist figuratively selling his or her soul. In literature, a theme like this is found throughout many stories and novels. However, complicated analyses like this cannot be found by everyone, as seen in the puzzled class that is mentioned. With copious amounts of practice, any reader can become an expert at analyzing literature, and this introduces the reader of How to Read Literature Like a Professor to the type of material that the book will cover.

For my summer reading project, I chose to read Schooled by Gordan Korman. In this novel, thirteen year old Capricorn (Cap) Anderson lives in an alternative farm commune with his grandmother Rain. Cap had little awareness of what life in the “modern world” was like. After Rain fell out of a tree while picking plums, she was put into rehabilitation and Cap was forced to stay at the Donnelly house and go to Claverage Middle School until she healed. Having little knowledge of modern life, Cap was like a fish out of water, and others judged him for that and his different ways. His little knowledge impacted his own life and the people around him. This essay will explain how Cap’s little awareness of modern common sense impacts the people around him and his reputation.

He describes teachers in private city schools as people who “worked on the scholar,” wheres the teachers in the public country schools “just taught what they know.” The style of writing causes the reader to unconsciously compare and contrast, as well as form mental images, causing the story to become more personal. Throughout the story, many descriptive phrases and words are deliberately placed in order to enhance the mental image of each type of education. By using phrases like “the flashy vehicle was as punctual as death,” White is able unconsciously cause readers to label public schools as almost hostile. White uses this style and writing technique throughout the whole story, creating a picture that can come to life within the minds’ of the

The novel, “City of lights”, by Lauren Belfer, shows all of the complications during the late 1800’s,early 1900’s.

Jane Austen is well known as a novelist for her satirical representation of female characters in late Georgian society. During this period, novel writing and reading was still a controversial topic, and as such was incorporated in her book Northanger Abbey (1817), which has at its core a young female protagonist obsessed with novels. We can clearly interpret Northanger Abbey as Austen’s satirical response to the social conventions decrying novel reading, as she uses an intrusive narrator and more subtle supplementary techniques to comment on and satirize the debate surrounding novels.

The writer composes the story from the perspective of an analyst. She alludes to occasions later on, facts, and information that no character could have known in the setting of the story. Incorporated into the content are genuine quotes said or composed by the general population she expounds on, including the primary character. She utilizes an extremely objective voice, giving successive analysis of distinctive individuals' outlook and continually alluding to insights to demonstrate her point. Since the book does not focus on the point of view of any single character, it peruses more like a news article than a story, which frequently exhausting its groups of readers. Accordingly, Hillenbrand's written work style once in a while obstructs the correspondence of her thoughts because she regularly includes actualities, quotes and investigation in the book; it usually bores audience on the grounds that it peruses more like a news article instead of a

Initially the professor is dignified and elevated – described as an “honored guest” and “humble”.

As he surrenders to his temptation for the young school girl, though, a subtle shift in power is evident. Like the boy in The Glass Jar the professor is seduced by temptation and falls from grace.

Americans live in a society that is undoubtedly dominated by men. In order to fit into that society, women are subjected to cooperating and giving into the standards and ideologies set forth by men (Foss, 2004). We can see these concepts are not demonstrated in Mac Miller’s album, The Divine Feminine, because he is trying to convey the problems that women have gone through growing up feminine and for those trying to find a female identity. Women do not want to be seen ambivalent like a walking contradiction.
