The religion detailed and examined throughout Don Talayesva’s “Sun Chief” can be difficult to understand and near impossible to appreciate. At first glance to the casual reader it can appear shallow and ridiculous; a religion created around the wants and needs of the Hopi but not based on any empirical or even supposed sacred evidence. When coupled with The Sacred Canopy however, the reader begins to understand the simplistic beauty of their religion providing necessary guidance and support to the Hopi tribe. The reader also is able to relate to Don’s religion in terms of the love one has for his or her own dogma and the importance it plays in an individual’s life.

Mia takes readers on a captivating journey, trying to navigate the ups and downs of middle school while simultaneously trying to deal with her sick cat and her newly diagnosed synesthesia. Wendy Mass has written a whole host of other books as well, all of which have relatable characters and captivating themes. Although none of the characters are quite the same, and none of the themes are completely synonymous, they all share the same basic trait: connecting with readers. One such book is Every Soul a Star. The book has three main protagonists: Ally, a girl who has lived with her family on an isolated campground, Bree, a tween who has grand plans to be a supermodel, and Jack, a middle school student who is failing his science class. They all meet on Ally’s campground to watch a rare solar eclipse, and in the process change each other’s lives as well as their own. One of the major themes of the book is that friendships can form in unlikely places. Many of Mass’ books have a similar theme to this, although no two are in the exact same circumstances. Even though the theme is not exactly the same as in A Mango-Shaped Space, they are both very moving, very influential

As Clarice Lispector was writing what would become her last literary creation, The Hour of the Star, little did she know that while her body was plagued with the devastations of cancer, her mental struggle for peace and grace in death would inspire her most renowned novel. Perhaps it is because of those circumstances, she created a novel with intuitive reflections on both life and death, as seen through the life of the main character, Macabea. The story is narrated by Rodrigo S.M., and although Rodrigo attempts to maintain a neutral stance, he is often conflicted by his own perceptions and feelings. At the book’s commencement Rodrigo spends quite some time explaining that while the story is mainly about a woman,

In That Evening Sun, William Faulkner approaches the story through an anecdotal style that gives meaning to the story. The narrator uses the anecdote that happened to him to convey the story’s underlying meaning that people are restricted by social class and race, not realizing this meaning himself at the time. The era of racism pertains to the meaning of the story, discussing the aversion of southern white people to help those different from them, focusing on the restrictions that society has placed on social class and race separation and the desire to maintain the division.
