The moral of the short story "The pit and the Pendulum" By Edgar Poe was that
you shouldn't give up on believing in hope because you never know what might happen in bad situations. You could come out happy because believing in that little bit of hope you have could change the way you handle a bad situation. In this short story because the man in the story had just little bit of hope it helped him because he was thinking of surviving and came up with a great way to free himself from dying.

The moral the story "The young King" by Oscar Wilde is that being rich isn't everything. That being equals with everyone and having a happy community is better than being rich and selfish and having people hate you. Being rich doesn't make you have a happier life because you think you can have anything in the world what makes people happy is kindness and love each other.

The narrator of the Oscar sections is no stranger to a geeky allusion he repeatedly refers to himself as a Watcher yet he does not share in the same social awkwardness as Oscar in the book it shares a non-linear structure jumping back and forth in time  ...

Bell Hooks

In my opinion I feel that race, gender, class, and sexual orientation is not an important thing to know about the authors I will be reading in school.  When Bell Hooks says " Th at   white world made me doubt myself. And in the space of that doubt I needed proof that they were all wrong—that there are great writers who happened to be black, just as my beloved Emily Dickinson happened to be white." When she said this I thought to myself that she meant that everyone is equal and the same as white people in  writing. That it didn't matter if you were a African American or white writer because you could be a great writer no matter what race you are. She says how Emily Dickinson is a writer who she beloved who happened to be white just as she was a writer who happened to be African American. So don't judge a authors writing base off of there ethnicity. I think that it should not be an issue or concern that you need to know the...
