The author Avi writes very interesting books. I read the books The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle and City of Light City of Dark. I noticed Avi likes to write about kids because each protagonist is a child. I also noticed he likes to make them change because in the beginning of each book, the protagonists don’t like where they are, and in the end of the book, they want to stay where they are. The book, The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle starts out in Great Britain. Charlotte goes on a ship called The Seahawk to go back to America to meet up with her family. While on the ship, she meets Captain Jaggery. She thinks she is too good for the crew so she befriends Captain jaggery. After Captain Jaggery shoots a stowaway and whips a man named Zachariah to death, she decides to join the crew. During a big storm, the captain's right hand man Hollybrass is murdered. Charlotte is accused of the murder and is sent to a dungeon until the time she is supposed to get hung. While in the dungeon, she finds out Zachariah has been living down here the whole time. She and Zachariah team up to make Jaggery confess to the murder of Hollybrass. Once Jaggery confesses to the murder he falls off the ship and dies. Charlotte decides to stay on the ship after being home for about a month. …show more content…
In both books, the protagonists are kids and they each become friends with some new people. Charlotte befriends the crew and Carlos befriends Sarah.

The resolutions are moderately the same because in both books, the main antagonists die. But in Charlotte Doyle, Jaggery admits to murdering

Comparing The Red Room by H.G. Wells and The Darkness Out There by Penelope Lively
following the story line of the Heart of Darkness is amazing although the settings of each story are from completely different location and time periods. From the jungle of the Congo in Africa to the Nung river in Vietnam, Joseph Conrad's ideals are not lost.

Analysis Paper – Heart of Darkness and “The Hollow Men” The modernist movement was one of literary prominence due to its high level of intellectual integration in society. Authors such as T.S. Eliot (1925) and Joseph Conrad (1899) are two of the more significant modernist authors that are at the forefront of high intellectual thought both in their thinking, and in the way they present their thoughts in their writing. Both of these authors utilize various styles of literary devices and archetypes. In Joseph Conrad’s book Heart of Darkness the abstruse character of Kurtz highlights all that is evil.
If you asked a hundred different people their perspective on the meaning of life, it is almost guaranteed that you would receive a hundred different responses. Theodore Roethke, one of the most influential and thought-provoking poets of the 20th century, is no different. Roethke, the stout son of a german immigrant, sought to channel the inner-spirit of notable transcendentalists such as Emerson and Thoreau, and connect the intricate worlds of nature and man in order to discover the pure and true, essence of life. Roethke’s work, however, varies in form and philosophy, offering unique and wholesome perspectives to life’s purpose. For example, “In a Dark Time” by Roethke illustrates his personal struggles with depression and coping with the
