J.G. Ballard's "Empire Of The Sun": Jim's Metamorphosis
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. Interpretive literature encompasses myriad existential elements that directly relate to character development; indeed, it is not merely a compilation of dates and events, but rather it is an exploration of humanity's spiritual side sometimes gone awry. Such is the case with J.G. Ballard's Empire of the Sun, inasmuch as this literary masterpiece shares the common denominator of achieving self-awareness and wholeness so prevalent in war stories. The very process of living life and expanding one's existence has often been perceived as a rebirth of sorts, with Ballard taking the concept to an infinitely high level of appreciation with Jim, his primary character. By embracing this inherent – and often esoteric – power, the reader is able to grasp a significantly better understanding of Jim's developing self-awareness and wholeness.

Jhumpa Lahiri’s “Interpreter of Maladies”
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 6 page paper discussing Jhumpa Lahiri’s “Interpreter of Maladies”. Jhumpa Lahiri (1967- ) wrote “Interpreter of Maladies”, a collection of nine short stories, in 1999 which since has been critically acclaimed in addition to having received the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction. Although this was Lahiri’s first major publication, the cross-cultural, -gendered and -generational approach to the stories holds a universal appeal for all readers. Born of Indian heritage but residing in New York, Lahiri maintains a subtle approach to her Indian culture and while all of her stories contain Indian characters or themes, Lahiri does not overwhelm readers with traditional Indian “magical realism” but instead provides readers with inside looks at her characters who experience the emotions associated with loss, communication, and loneliness; experience and emotions to which all readers can relate.
Bibliography lists 6 sources.
