My Dream Thinking about the future used to scare me. I do not know if it was more of just I was going to be older and making my own decisions or that I did not have a plan for what was to come. Honestly I think it was because I did not have a plan. As a second semester sophomore,I have sort of been forced to wake up and start thinking about after high school plans.

by William Faulkner Among the majority of literacy critics A Rose for Emily by William Faulkner is often praised for its expanding of a detective genre. However, from a re-reading of the ‘sudden twist leading to the murder mystery’ narrative, a question rises about the consistency of short story’s reading as a detective: why is it so?

López in Julianne Burton’s influential collection The Social Documentary in Latin America (1990), Patrick Blaine notes that Guzmán’s film “seamlessly integrate[s] a number of key narrative devices [. . . ] that ma[ke] it a truly innovative project, surpassing the paradigm of the [documentary] genre in the New Latin American cinema movement and indicating the direction he would take with his later films.” Blaine notes that, surprisingly
The question “what is literature?” doesn’t seem like a difficult question but after thinking about it for a few minutes what is the true meaning of literature?

There is a way too much going on in the course off this story to be summarized properly in this essay. My essay focuses of the Tale of the Sangreal and it's participants. On a fateful evening, the Holy Grail floats into King Arthur's court in a beam of light, illuminating the entire hall. Soon after, all of King Arthur's knights ready themselves and set
