All of the deaths in No Country for Old Men are in some way, either first hand or second hand, a product of a drug related conflict. Drugs are a major problem in the United States and Novels and Show’s like NCFOL, breaking bad, Narcos, etc. do a great job oh highlighting what actually goesContinue reading “Lyke No Country for Old Men Short Blog”

In No Country For Old Men, I find the character of Chigurh to be the most interesting. I often wondered, what makes a man like that tick, obviously he is not only driven by money. Like any famous serial killer, Chigurh genuinely enjoys killing people. The concept of him flipping a coin to decide someonesContinue reading “Lyke No Country for Old Men Short Blog”

My favorite book that I have read this year has been American Assassin. I was the only one that could keep my interest through the entire thing. In our modern society it is fair to say that the majority of people in the upcoming generations would rather watch a movie or tv show than readContinue reading “Lyke – Short blog American Assassin”

For this blog I will be exploring the idea of if Henry really did love Catherine. Henry told himself he loved her and he told her that he loved her but I do not think that Henry knew what actual love meant. The priest knew that actual love is unconditional which means that you wishContinue reading “Lyke – Farewell to Arms Short blog”

This art depicts a black and a white slave sitting side by side with what looks like a little white girl as their master. This is relevant to Puddn’head Wilson because in the novel, the only reason the babies are switched is because one is bound to be a slave by the one drop rule.Continue reading “Lyke Puddn’head Wilson Short Blog”

Is American Assassin a Great American Novel? First of all a lot of things that are great aren’t considered great until their time has already passed. For example some of the world’s most famous pieces of art weren’t discovered until hundreds of years after they were created. American Assassin will not take a hundred yearsContinue reading “Lyke American Assassin Long Blog”

In Pudd’nhead Wilson by Mark Twain both Tom and Chambers are raised in the other’s societal role. The kid that was suppose to be a slave is raised as a slave owner and the slave owner is raised as a slave. Each kid ends up filling the role they were raised into and their birthContinue reading “Lyke Pudd’nhead Wilson Short Blog”

Out of all of the characters so far in American Assassin, Mitch Rapp seems most similar to myself. He wants to do good but sometimes he gets lost in the heat of the moment. There have been multiple occasions where he has started fights or done things that were questionable but in some way, heContinue reading “Lyke American Assassin Short Blog”

Throughout The Grapes of Wrath, Rose of Sharon serves as a minor character that seems to not have much of a purpose. In earlier chapters, the audience is told that she is Tom’s sister, is married to Connie Rivers, and is pregnant. She occasionally speaks her mind but never says anything of great importance. Usually,Continue reading “Lyke Grapes of Wrath Short Blog”

So far in A Farewell to Arms I have noticed that war has become normalized amongst the men that are fighting. Most of them joke around and drink while in the middle of the battle. Doctors seem relaxed and the only people that seem to be panicking are those that are missing limbs. Modern day,Continue reading “Lyke Farewell to Arms Short Blog”
