...the opposite in order to achieve their personal desires. Al Roosten tells himself to pick up Donfrey’s wallet but instead, he kicks them under a stack of risers. In addition, Mr. Shiftlet picks up a hitchhiker instead of going back to the restaurant to get Lucynell. Roosten tries to forgive Donfrey by convincing himself that he is a good man, “Donfrey hadn’t done anything to him” However, he chooses to ignore it, “Roosten took a step forward and gave the wallet a kick” (Saunders 99). Roosten knew that the right thing to do is to return the wallet even though he is angry with Donfrey, but he does the opposite by kicking his wallet to get back at Dongrey. In O’Connor’s story, Mr. Shiftlet knew Lucynell and her mother were a good family because they welcomed him to their home but yet he still chooses to leave Lucynell alone in the restaurant. There is verbal irony when Mr.Shiftlet looks for a hitchhiker in the road. For example, Mr. Shiftlet leaves Lucynell and thinks that he should look out for a hitchhiker so he can help them, “He felt too that a man with a car had a responsibility to others and he kept his eye out for a hitchhiker” (O’Connor 155). Mr. Shiftlet is married to Lucynell which means he is responsible for her but instead of going back for her, he looks for a hitchhiker for redemption of leaving Lucynell. In Saunder’s story, Al Roosten knows he is responsible for kicking Donfrey’s keys and wallet but he chooses not to return them to Donfrey. As guilty as Al Roosten and...

...behind when he passed away. O’Conner uses symbolism and irony several times throughout the story. For instance the title of the story is taken from the road sign that says “Drive carefully. The life you save may be your own” Tom Shiftlet sees as he drives. This suggests that Shiftlet should be more apprehensive about his own redemption than for being anyone else’s savior. O’Connor uses peacocks to symbolize unrecognized beauty and Lucynell’s significant innocence as her eyes are described as “blue as a peacock’s neck.” The turnip-shaped cloud also hold significance. The fact that the cloud is exactly the color of the hitchhiker’s hat emphasizes the hitchhiker’s role as deliverer of Shiftlet’s moment of grace. When Shiftlet speaks to the hitchhiker about his...

...Maus II: A Survivor’s Tale—And Here My Troubles Began The Holocaust was one of the worst epidemics in the entire world. Many people were killed, more importantly the Jewish community, with millions dead. Families were torn and never mended. Among these families were the Spiegleman’s. Art Spiegleman was the son in the family who wrote about his father’s experience in the Holocaust. Maus I and Maus II are his two works of art that share historical information and his personal struggle. Within Maus II, Art talks about the start of his father’s struggles and what will be the beginning of a life changing event. The Holocaust affected victims just as the American Great Depression did its victims. This chapter starts out with Vladek continuously counting his pills, and then Artie and Francoise are staying with him just for a little since Mala left. Vladek keeps everything; he doesn’t want to get rid of anything, even crumbs. In chapter three, page 78 of Maus II, he is trying to give Artie a piece of fruitcake, and Artie refuses, and says he isn’t hungry. Vladek then tells Artie, “So, fine. I can pack the fruitcake in with the cereal for you to take home,” then Artie refuses to let Vladek give him the food because he doesn’t want it. Vladek then says, “I cannot forget it…ever since Hitler I don’t like to throw out even a crumb.” This shows that Vladek is still afraid to get rid of anything, because he is still in fear of the past. They begin talking more about Auschwitz, and how in...

McCarthyism and three international wars enhanced Anti – Communist resentments within the United States. A brief emergence of Socialist organizations in America heightened the fervor of conservative versus liberal views within cinematography. Motion Movie producers and Distributors, in Hollywood, California were heavily encouraged to influence film directors, screenwriters and actors by incorporating strict codes within their artistic expression...

Maggie and Victor, a couple in their mid-fifties who were contemplating divorce after twenty-nine years of marriage, told me this story: "We met in graduate school," Maggie recalled. "We were renting rooms in a big house with a shared kitchen. I was cooking breakfast when I looked up and saw this man-Victor- walk into the room. I had the strangest reaction. My legs wanted to carry me to him, but my head was telling me to stay away. The feelings were so strong that I felt faint and had to sit down." Once Maggie recovered from shock, she introduced herself to Victor, and the two of them spent half the morning talking. "That was it," said Victor. "We were together every possible moment for the next two months, and then we eloped." Page 4 q Getting the Love You Want "If those had been more sexually liberated times," added Maggie, "I'm sure we would have been lovers from that very first week. I've never felt so intensely about anyone in my entire life." Not all first encounters...

...In Cold Blood Truman Capote I. The Last to See Them Alive The village of Holcomb stands on the high wheat plains of western Kansas, a lonesome area that other Kansans call "out there." Some seventy miles east of the Colorado border, the countryside, with its hard blue skies and desert-clear air, has an atmosphere that is rather more Far West than Middle West. The local accent is barbed with a prairie twang, a ranch-hand nasalness, and the men, many of them, wear narrow frontier trousers, Stetsons, and high-heeled boots with pointed toes. The land is flat, and the views are awesomely extensive; horses, herds of cattle, a white cluster of grain elevators rising as gracefully as Greek temples are visible long before a traveler reaches them. Holcomb, too, can be seen from great distances. Not that there's much to see simply an aimless congregation of buildings divided in the center by the main-line tracks of the Santa Fe Rail-road, a haphazard hamlet bounded on the south by a brown stretch of the Arkansas (pronounced "Ar-kan-sas") River, on the north by a highway, Route 50, and on the east and west by prairie lands and wheat fields. After rain, or when snowfalls thaw, the streets, unnamed, unshaded, unpaved, turn from the thickest dust into the direst mud. At one end of the town stands a stark old stucco structure, the roof of which supports an electric sign - dance - but the dancing has ceased and the advertisement has been dark for several years. Nearby is another building...
