I was interested in swimming but afraid of water, and when my mom took me there on weekends, I would pretend that I could swim and ...

Arguably, Meursault, the young man living in Algiers, is very strange compared to other people and even maybe the rest of humanity. In retrospect, his strange behaviors and detachment from his emotions would likely make him wonder for the psychology community. Similarly, in the book, his actions and indifference earn him a backlash both at the trial and at his neighborhood. People are more concerned with his lack of emotions towards his mother’s death than towards the fact that he killed a man in cold blood even after convincing his friend Raymond not to kill him. While many would argue ...

The historic fiction written by Jeff Shaara, The Glorious Cause is set in America when it was a new country and tracks the Revolutionary War. It uses the literary device of telling the story from the viewpoints of all the commanding generals of both sides. In this manner, one chapter might be titled “Washington“and tell the story from his prospective. The chapter entitled “Cornwallis” would give not just the facts about how he participated but also how he saw them. Because of this there is no traditional “main character” as the protagonist. Instead there is a steadily shifting almost bird’ ...

It was not Richard Eugene Hickock, a pedophile and rapist, who ran through the house killing each victim one by one.

However this inacurracy pales into insignificance when the witty exchanges between Jack and the old men during the ...
