Oral History of a Billionare
Imagine being immortal to the most fatal
things; for example a zombie breaking into your house and slaughtering you
until your blood turns into brownish black goo. This is how Breckinridge
"Brick" Scott felt while being trapped where the record low
temperature has been recorded, Antarctica. While "Brick" was trapped
in Antarctica Jesika Hendricks was in Canada suffering from the effects of the
zombie war. These are 2 different stories of 2 different people in the roughest
of times but because of the outcome of events they see things differently for
the rest of their lives.
In the book World War Z a journalist
is going around the world and gathering stories from survivors of the tragic
zombie war. In this book there are many stories all raping into the same time
periods of the zombie war. In these two very different stories one man is
living the time of his life the other woman is starving through the harsh cold.
Jesika's point of view in this story would
make the zombie war seem like the worst thing ever(which it was pretty bad).
Jeskia's family had found a group of other people that had traveled to the
great white north. They were fine for a while but they started to starve and
freeze. When these events occurred everything got worst; everyone was stealing
and when there was no food what so ever they turned to cannibalism.
If you were to take Jesika's story and make
the point of view "Brick's" this story(like many others) would
drastically change. Brick would be nice and comfy in his dome making thousands
by the second because of his phony drug Phalanx which is supposed to make you
immune to zombie bites. If you were to read this book in the point of view of a
person like Brick this zombie war would be a huge joke. Also there would be no
point for writing this book on the zombie war.
So now imagine being immortal but, billions
of other people suffering. No one can be
immortal but if someone was it would be Breckinridge Scott. He sees this war as
revenue while everyone else is in a chaotic world trying to survive. If Max
Brooks had put more stories in Bricks point of view this would not be the
chaotic and exhilarating book that he made it to be. As you can see there are
many different stories all different while resulting in the same pain of the
zombie war branded in their head for life.

Foreshadowing
There is astonishing
foreshadowing in the short story " The Lottery " by Shirley Jackson.
The lottery is about a community coming together to stone a selected
individual. In the beginning of the story it mentions kids running around,
playing and gathering stones into piles and shoveling them into pockets. If you
were to read this for the first time you wouldn't think much of the stones but,
it is a key point in the story.
Foreshadowing is
giving hints in the text that are shown and affect the story later. In "
The Lottery " there are small points in foreshadowing and there are big
ones. In this story as I mentioned earlier, the stones are a huge hint because
if you read the short story for the first time you would think the kids
gathering stones would be to stone someone, you would think they were playing.
This is how the author shows foreshadowing in a discrete matter

For quality windows siding and doors call 866 4Feldco
Hi my names paul; i'm
a window on 42nd streets Wilson house. Over the years the Wilsons have
neglected to clean us the windows on their house. We have gone through deep freezes of the winter, rapid rain in the spring along with blazing dust
storms but the worst, the dead bugs. I wish I could just flick the bugs off
but, with what hands. I have been crying out to them to not just wash me but
all of us knowing that they've gone through the same thing as I.
Finally it was
summer and we really got their attention. We would close right when they opened
us and when they closed us we opened, by golly they were furious. It finally
looked like we were about to be cleaned
until the Wilson kid showed up with his gang of friends. They started to
play baseball and what do you know they broke Fred the window just above me. Immediately Mrs Wilson started to panic and call Feldco, soon after they
replaced ted they took a look at all of us. They were finally thinking of
cleaning us when they decided it would take to long and they would need more
elbow grease than what they had.
Sadly right before
the repair men had left Mr Wilson asked them to replace all of us and so we sit
now in a landfill longing to be cleaned.

The Man Village Book(more like essay)
If you've ever seen
a show like "Law and Order" you know everyone has a role but you
never get to see everyone's view on things . In The
Jungle Book there are many
characters just like a TV show. There is the lead or main character and sub
characters you don't get the whole story on. When you don’t get the sub
characters stories you don't know this question; Are they more important than
the main character?
In the book The Jungle Book the main character is
Mowgli (jungle word for frog) given to him by his wolf pack. Mowgli strayed
away from his village and had to learn the ways of the jungle. If we take
Mowgli's view in this book and truly analyze It; the results would show that he
was a young boy trying to live and learn the ways of the jungle(not by choice)
while coming upon the struggles of the Banderlog and Sherkhan some of the most
hated animals in the jungle. Then its also a happy time for Mowgli, he finds
his birth mom and overcomes the struggles of Sherkhan and the Banderlog If anyone else were to be the main
character this story would have drastic changes.
If you were to take
this story from the point of view of a human in this story not animal but a
human like the chief hunter in the Man-Village you would see a very different
story. The chief hunter hates Mowgli
after Mowgli comes back and calls him a buffoon and an idiot because the
stories he told were true but he though they were wrong. Then he went to not
only hunt the tiger(which Mowgli killed) but also eliminate Mowgli. When the
hunter said that Mowgli used magic they believed him and Mowgli became an
outcast. Mowgli destroyed the land and saved his family, while rescuing jungle
and killing man.
So as you can see
without Mowgli there would be no story;
therefore no essay to see if the point of view of a sub character could be more
important. Now your asking why is this relevant; well this essay is worth nothing
because I would be a sub character to Ruyard Kippling who is the writer(main
character) and with no writer there is no book which means there isn't an essay. All in all without
the main characters point of view there is no point.
