To begin “The Stonecutter” relates to the video about Sam Eshaghoff. I say this because in section 5 it said that the stonecutter wanted to be the prince. This is similar to when Sam wanted to start taking the test for other people. This can connect to the story because Sam knew that this kind of stuff was going on so he wanted to get in on the action. Like the stonecutter he wanted something he didn't have and then he got it. In addition, the stonecutter experienced pain ¨But Tasaki felt the sharp sting of a chisel¨ (Section 18). Also ¨Deep inside, he trembled¨ (Section 19). This is almost exactly like in the end of the Sam Eshaghoff video he said if he could go back he wouldn't have done it. This is like the story because you can infer that the stonecutter regrets his decision of changing who he is because he unhappy and would redo it all if he could.

They are laughing, playing, and having fun doing things that children do. Some of the children are gathering stones from the surrounding area and forming piles of them. Soon the men and women arrive, bringing with them a less friendly tone. The villagers make small talk laughing quietly amongst each other while at the same time maintaining a slight seriousness. Jackson makes some use of foreshadowing early in the story by mentioning the pile of stones and the way the older characters distance themselves from it. "They stood together, away from the pile of stones in the corner, and their jokes were quiet and they smiled rather than laughed" (291). Any observant reader is able to sense that something is not quite right. These suspicions are confirmed come the end of the story when the reader learns that this gathering is part of a sick and twisted ritual in which members of the village draw paper slips from a box to select one member of the village. This person is then used as a scapegoat and is stoned to death to ensure a happy and profitable year for the

Although the villagers had forgotten the ritual and lost the original black box, they still remembered to use stones. The pile of stones the boys had made earlier was ready; there were stones on the ground with the blowing scraps of paper that had come out of the box Delacroix selected a stone so large she had to pick it up with both hands and turned to Mrs. Dunbar. "Come on," she said. "Hurry up."

In the book, Parable of the Sower by Octavia E. Butler, it presents a perfect example of a Survival of the fittest lifestyle. Only the best, the smarter, and the stronger ones, is able to survive, while the weaker individuals will be killed or dead. Lauren Olamina, the main character and her group travels towards the north by finding freedom. Many people did not have the mindset to be as strong as Lauren to survive, but she was extremely careful. She has always looked out for potential enemies wanting to harm or kill, but she was also creating allies to build her Earthseed community.

The Marxist criticism is based on the socialist theories of Karl Marx and how the readers must closely examine the dynamics of class as they attempt to understand the works they read. In a world where there is no pain, no prejudice, no emotion, and no detestation. Lois Lowry gives a vivid description of a community where everything is equal, everyone is just as important as another, and life choices are made by only one individual. In the book The giver by Lois Lowry, it expresses the exact opposite of Marx’s most important ideas which is a prime example of what people will do if they were forced to live a certain way.

No place has generated so much speculation and wild theories as the standing stones of Stonehenge. After traveling for miles through the rolling hills and plains of the English countryside the sight of this unusual structure made me gasp. A walk around it only provoked more strange feelings. There's a sense that this is something very important. For over 5000 years it has stood silent vigil over the

dead. What the stone symbolizes is the beginning of karma that is burdened on the protagonist‟s back,

In Philip Pullman’s novel, The Golden Compass, a young girl, named Lyra Belacqua lives in a parallel world in which human souls take the form of lifelong animal companions called daemons. In Lyra’s world the antagonists, a group of people known as Gobblers, have been kidnapping kids from the streets. Lyra vows to save her best friend, Roger, after she discovers that he disappears along with one of the Gyptians’ boys. She sets out with her daemon, a tribe of Gyptians, a witch, an ice bear and a Texas airman on an epic quest to rescue Roger and save her world. These two goals would eventually lead Lyra to fulfill her so-called “destiny”. Lyra lives in a world where a lot of people believe in the ideology of predestination, but destiny is an illusion of free will and foreknowledge. Her choices can influence future outcomes and ultimately change her “destiny” as long as she has some foreknowledge of her prophecy, if she doesn’t have that then she cannot make the necessary actions to avoid it.

First to portray on how this depicts the theme is shown through symbols. The story begins by showing boys playing with rocks, piled in the collection of importance. One the boys named Bobby Martin leads, “eventually made a great pile of stones in one corner.” Stones that are protected and cared for in importance, until the event takes place. Unfolding an idea in the stones, that lay bare for a time, but now are armed for a purpose. As the host arrives, so does the ‘tradition as there was represented by the black box.” The box is kept since the begging of this timeless event and is kept with pride amongst the people. Well-hidden through town shops, along showing sophistication towards the host when boldly showing towards the people. Black in
