Literary Interpretation

Trix are for Kids

Donovan Sithan

I'm a student at Fullerton Junior College that has finally broken the chains of tuition fear. I've finished all of the requirements for an AA in English, and with no other possible classes to take, I will finally be transferring to big boy college. I believe that one day I will become a successful, published author. I do not have motivational posters. I don't read quotes from long deceased authors for inspiration.

Letter from Birmingham Jail: Overused Allusions or Persuasive Proof?

Author: 
Alison Kurkul

On April 12, 1963, a letter, "A Call For Unity," was written by eight clergymen from Alabama. All these men were white, and while their letter acknowledged the social injustices in the United States, they believed that these movements for civil rights should only be fought in the courtroom and not in the public areas of Birmingham. This letter was published in the local newspaper and blamed protests for the social and racial friction in the city.

Jane Eyre and Jane Rochester: The Struggle for Sanity

Author: 
Jennifer Roach

A person will worship something, have no doubt about that. We may think our tribute is paid in secret in the dark recesses of our hearts, but it will out. That which dominates our imaginations and our thoughts will determine our lives, and our character. Therefore, it behooves us to be careful what we worship, for what we are worshipping we are becoming. -- Ralph Waldo Emerson
