... that he had to do it behind his fathers back. The lead part in the school play was given to Neil. He participated in it behind his fathers back. At the auditorium, during the play Neil’s father showed up. Neil went home with his father because Mr. Perry had withdrawn Neil from school. Later that night the two had argued this was a factor leading to Neil’s suicide. The dead poet society had some more problems since the death of a dear friend such as the expulsion of Newanda and the dismissal of Mr. Keaton . Newanda was a radical student who didn’t like the idea of an all school boarding school and let it be known all over so that he would get expelled. A phone rang ...

... murders with questionable motives and circumstances, the search for the murderer has proved futile. Poe's stage is now set. The murders, of Madame and Mademoiselle L'Espanaye are then related by a series of eleven eyewitnesses, a diverse mix of occupation and culture. However, they concur on one point: all heard an indistinguishable voice ("that of a foreigner") and one of an angered Frenchman at the scene of the crime. As the account of the last witness is registered, Dupin and the narrator decide to examine the apartment on the Rue Morgue for themselves. The Sherlock Holmes- like protagonist does not disappoint us. Dupin assures the narrator that he knows who the ...

... restraints. They won't even let him smoke. Huck is so disgusted with home life that he accidentally kills a spider, and he knows that this act is bound to bring bad luck to him.

... himself, reigns superior over many of the characters. One of these characters is his servant, Ariel, who he freed from Sycorax after she was imprisoned in a tree for twelve years. Ariel has to suffer harsh punishment when she so much as complains of her unfair treatment to Prospero (Act 1, Scene 2): If thou more murmur'st, I will rent an oak And peg thee in his knotty entrails till Thou hast howled away twelve winters. Prospero here is informing Ariel that if she dares to question is authority again, he will imprison her in an oak tree for twelve years. Ariel, longing for her freedom, agrees to run errands for Prospero in order for him to gain control and b ...

... he flew over 60 combat missions. That experience provided the groundwork for this novel. (Way, 120) (Usborne) The protagonist and hero of the novel is John Yossarian, a captain in the Air Force and a lead bombardier in his squadron, but he hates the war. During the latter half of World War II, Yossarian is stationed with his Air Force squadron on the island of Pianosa, near the Italian coast and the Mediterranean Sea. (Heller) The squadron is thrown thoughtlessly into brutal combat situations and bombing runs on which it is more important for them to capture a good aerial photograph of an explosion than to destroy their target. Their colonels continually raise ...

... that we take for granted have also been taken away: sleep, tears, and even momentary reprieves of blinking. Each of the three characters is introduced into the room by a surprisingly polite Valet. Initial confrontations are "uncomfortable", each person knowing that he/she is deceased, but they are not impolite. However, as the true reasons why each person has been sentenced to Hell are revealed, the true nature of the place takes shape. Rather than try to explain the chronological progression of the play, I would rather take each character and their opinions individually in an attempt to highlight what I believe are the important parts. The first person ...

... utopia was unreal, as the towns people lied uncontrollably and sinned in secret. It was also based on religious writings, the Bible, which was unreal. Utopias such as these can never be achieved as they do not realistically reflect human nature and peoples’ way of life. Colors were symbolic in both The Scarlet Letter and Pleasantville, especially red. The first instance of color in Pleasantville, was red. Red was also symbolic in The Scarlet Letter, where the letter was scarlet, or red. Red represented the heart. Not literally, but the human soul and an individual’s feelings. The letter on Hester’s chest revealed her desires which she acted upon, whic ...

... Ironically, although black, the native Africans seem to represent a sort of good by doing what they feel is right. On the other hand, the white foreigners carry themselves with some kind of evil as they exploit the great kindness of the blacks. I guess you could say that the white men were filled with a black hatred inside. Another example is found when Marlow enters the Belgian company’s office. Sitting in the office are two women dressed almost completely in black. Marlow is no beginning to understand the seriousness of the journey he is going to make. Even his predecessor dies because of a quarrel over two black hens. The usage of black is almost t ...

... has to be better then anyone else. For example," Luchresi cannot tell Amontillado from Sherry" (748). Fortunato says this because he believes that if Luchresi tells the difference between the two liquors then Fortunato will have failed. The one quote that explains Fortunato fully is," Come we will go back; your health is precious. You are rich, respected, admired, beloved; you are happy, as once I was. You are a man to be missed…Besides there is Luchresi" (749). Unlike Fortunato Montresor is not loved, respected, or will be missed. Montresor at one point in time seemed to be similar to that of Fortunato. Montresor had lots of family and just as many f ...

... Lastly and perhaps most importantly, is night's correlation with evilness. As children, we were all afraid of nasty monsters that lurked in the darkness of night. The night has long been believed to host supernatural beings and occurrences. As I read the play and came upon the word "night," I was surprised to discover that all four aspects of my hypothesis were correct. First, in act I, we see the first usage, night as a period for rest and revitalization. In scene iii, lines 19-23, the First Witch says, Sleep shall neither night nor day / Hang upon his penthouse lid; / He shall live a man forbid: / Weary sev'nights nine times nine / Shall he dwindle, peak, an ...
