Little snow white” by Bruno Bettelheim’s is a psychological interpretation of the fairy tale known as Snow White. In this interpretation Bruno compares the fairy tale to reality as well as how children can visualize the fairy tale. “Little Snow White ” interprets a different point a view. It shows things that can happen in the reality world such as sexual harassment, suicide, self harm and etc. Things like this don’t end in a “happily ever after”. I believe they make a more fictional version since their are kids younger who read books like this and believe that in every life there Willa slash be a happily ever after, unlike the older kids if they was to read this fixed version they would understand that not everything is supposed to end good, and will understand that as much as adults, kids also struggle with self problems on a daily.

The quote “Reading a poem is part attitude and part technique” refers to a demonstration that in order to read and write a poem it really takes a lot of skills. Writing a poem about a person and knowing how to express your feelings in a short, classy and unique way is what the “part technique” is. Another way to express a format of a poem is on vacations, past experiences and even even lies who made you as a person. In the poem In the poem “White Lies by Natasha Trethewey it speaks about childhood memories and lies she once told. The quote “i could act like my homemade dresses came straight out the window of Maison Blanche.” was a symbol of what a life she fantasize for her was. Poems create a different view in every person life whether it’s s from love to lies.
The greeting card lyrics “Why Do I Love You So Much?” relates to the Browning sonnet “How Do I Love Thee” because they both speak about love. The word “love” is a such a strong and passionate word, that shouldn’t be used in bad intentions. An excellent way if use is writing a poem, especially if its someone you truly love. Putting the words to describe someone is unimaginable. for example the phrase ‘to remind how to laugh when times are trying” I believe that this example is a really straight board one because your other person should know and support you through challenges time. “I shall but love thee better after death.” represent faithfulness and Loyalty to a person. That no matter what circumstance crosses you’d always go back to your person. I really like the way poems make you have realization over situations. I really liked how these poems covered everything that represents true love.
In the reading ” oedipus is the king” it makes a reference to crime and how it’s impossible to escape one’s fate. This is because he killed his father and married his mother. Having the bravery to kill someone is unimaginable specially if its someone in your family. People have their own justification for their actions and there are rare cases where it’s actually “self defense or accidentally”. It also takes a lot of courage to accept it. unlike oedipus he was destined to make those actions. He then decided to run away from Corinth avoiding the fate he had. After killing his father the reflection on what he had done lead him to self harm himself by blinding himself to stop him from seeing the reality of what he had done. Fate may be a curse or a myth horn it can literally fit in any category, but I believe that certain things you are meant for can’t be stopped no matter how hard you go on yourself.
The quote I decided to use fro my essay was “Literature adds to reality, it does not simply describe it” by C.S Lewis meaning that literature evolves all around the world. Literature shows a different type of view in any circumstance without judging and in the story by Toni Cade Bambara’s story “The Lesson” Sylvia was taken to see two different aspects in society and seeing the difference between the rich and the poor and race. In this view it gives of look of competency because its if they were to be competing for which society side it better. Rich people don’t have poor people problems, “the poor” struggle to pay and earn certain privileges, “the rich” not so much. Their world are normally seen to get things easier, be able to afford and sometimes not be appreciative and want more.
The theme in the nineteenth- century Emily Dickinson poem “The Wife’ echoed in the ” The Story of An Hour” by Kate Chopin because they focused on female gender. It demonstrated that men where the one who dominated the marriage. In “The Story of An Hour” Mrs.Mallard was grieving her husband death but then has a realization of what a future with freedom would be like. The quote “She rose to his requirement” ( Emily Dickinson) broke down that females in the 19th century had to put any type of emotions and privilege their husband first. The theme was described as a women’s role in society and marriage. A women won’t have time to think about the future desires she wanted and how it would only be to provide for the husband.
The quote “Literature adds to reality; it does not simply describe it” (C.S. Lewis) embodied in the “The lesson” by Toni Cade Bambara because it describes what is going on in the world. There are many kinds of interaction you get put through in life before and now in days. Some example may be inequality, discrimination, poverty, and just basic judgement. Like in the story “The lesson” by Toni Cade Bambara, when a well educated and experienced black woman who took Silvia and others to see how the world is and how unjust they are towards black people how they are signalize and discriminated. The quote “Equal chance to pursue happiness means an equal crack at the dough” ( Toni cade Bambara) proved to them that no matter how hard they worked for things it will never compensate because of inequality. I agree with this quote because even people now define you by color, race, income, languages and even based on jobs,
In the short story “Salvation” by Langston Hughes I somewhat connected because you can have guilt and feel sad when lying or being lied too. The quote that I most connected with was “But I was really crying because I couldn’t bear to tell her that I had lied, that I had deceived everybody in the church, that I hadn’t seen Jesus, and that now I didn’t believe there was a Jesus anymore, since he didn’t come to help me.” I would’ve felt really guilty because I wouldn’t be able to hold in something like that especially if its about god. In the reading “Araby” from James Joyce i have some similarities with it being as the older you get your experiences change with it being life, religion or love. In the story when they” when he saw his girl it was his light”. During times dark, gloomy, or just being spacious a person can really make you feel brightness in you again.
