Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift is a prose satire on human nature. Many people believe that this piece of writing has a underlying lesson of man's true nature. It has been theorized that this work is really about whether or not man is born corrupt or becomes corrupt due to his place in society and the people around him. Gulliver meets the Lilliputians on their island after he is shipwrecked. As the one gets deeper into the book, the impression that the reader has changes. In the beginning the

Realism became a movement that helped the American people cope with their issues by using real-life circumstances they could relate to.

Scars are the flashbacks to so many different memories. Scars to me are so common and are a regular thing in my life. These permanent placements on people’s skin are what make someone what they are. The most memorable are the ones your family can bring up at reunions forever. I remember the talking about my scars with my family and the endless amounts of laugher and happiness that my scars brought out. The effects of scars on people have many different variations and types. The types that seem
An Irish playwright, George Bernard Shaw once said, “Life is about creating yourself.” In The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Huck, a twelve-year-old boy was surrounded by people who were trying to create him to instill their religious and moral beliefs, to teach him their definition of right from wrong and to “sivilize” him.

Coriolanus is a “viper that would depopulate the city and be every man himself”. This will be argued in reference to Coriolanus as a whole.

conspirators are the antagonists while Mark Antony is the protagonist. Others may say it was only Cassius who was the antagonist. Many readers believe that the name of the play is completely wrong and William Shakespeare messed up. There are numerous amounts of evidence for each concept. As it does for many, my idea of who was who in the play varied as I continued to read on. Opinions may differ, but I believe the protagonist is Brutus while the antagonist is Mark Antony and the name holds true to the
