Morrison's The Bluest Eye & Salinger's The Catcher In The Rye
[ send me this paper ]
Morrison and Salinger have both chosen to have the plot revolve around the
misconception of the community and the need for adolescents (innocence)
to find acceptance. A loss of that innocence results in a need to
escape to somewhere or something that is able to fill the void. This 5
page paper argues that the character of Holden Caulfield in The Catcher
In The Rye and several of Morrison's characters in The Bluest Eye
experience a gradual psychic erosion that represents the weakening of
their concept of community. An explanation of epigram is includes as
well as suggestions for an epigrammatic title for the student's essay.

To Kill A Mockingbird / Setting & The Courtroom
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. The significance of the Maycomb setting in Harper Lee's To Kill A Mockingbird and how it affects the courtroom scene demonstrates the way in which a black man's life can be maligned with blatant lies and misinterpretations. Atticus Finch's appointment to defend Negro Tom Robinson is something the town has not witnessed before -- a town in which blacks and whites cohabit together but do not meld their lives beyond the cursory greeting at the marketplace. By Finch taking on Robinson's alleged rape case, it sets a new precedence for the narrow-mindedness of the townspeople and the injustice routinely inflicted upon the Negro community.

Both stories incorporate a variety of naturalistic detail that show Crane's keen eye in regards to setting and the interplay of his characters with their environment.
