The Trickster in Prodigal Summer(Final Paper)

The Trickster in Prodigal Summer
The book “Prodigal Summer” by Barbara Kingsolver seems to be chiefly about choices and how every choice that a character makes simultaneously creates and destroys situations for other characters in the book as well as for themselves. Hence, every character plays the role of a trickster. A trickster always falls into the trap of appetite. Similarly, the characters always fall into the trap of temptation.

Its The Final Countdown

Submitted by ellenv on Thu, 12/17/2009 - 9:19pm

 It happens twice a year. The panic. The late-night coffee runs. The sudden urge to escape your room filled with textbooks. Finals: we know that they are coming; yet, we still find ourselves scrambling as the hours, minutes, and seconds counting down to that next exam. E-mails appear daily calling all students to take a break from studying and come to concerts/meetings/food extravaganzas. What to chose: an extra hour of sleep, that additional 30 minutes of study time, or going to the dance showcase with the free food? In many people’s mind, the decision comes down to time management. But how well can we really “manage” our time? Time isn’t something that can be bought, packaged, or parceled out when we need it.
