House Of Usher Cask Of Amontillado
1,524 words
Edgar Allan Poe is famous for his short stories
and specifically the manner in which he was able
to draw in the audience and totally hold their
focus. Interestingly, it seems that all of his

His mastery of the physical world of his tales is
amazing, as is the manner in which he creates
these realms. ...

Some Sugars Symphony Sugar? s Symphony Some have
coined music as a universal language. Perhaps, the
complexity of the notes, the consistency of the
beat, the array of instruments, or the flow of
lyricism offers this universal appeal.
Nevertheless, the unique composition of each song
enables it to sustain its own magnetic aura, much
like the musical implication in Lewis Nordan? s
Music of the Swamp. Though, many argue Nordan? s
piece suggests merely a collection of short
stories rather than a nov...

Catcher In The Rye Uncle Wiggily
1,575 words
Salinger's children, as they appear in various
novels and short stories, portray the ills of
modern society through their innocence and
spirituality, their honesty and sometimes, erratic
behaviour. They are often as fragile and odd as
they are intelligent and endearing, and the
obscenities of life tend to overwhelm them at
times. My intention is to show how Salinger uses
the same technique over and over in his work. That
is the use of children with all the innocence and
idealism of youth, to dep...
