Aware Of The Fact End Of The Story

... part, uses an allegory as the literary theme
in The Masque of the Red Death. I do not see the
story as one intended to scare or keep the reader
in suspense, however, more to leave the reader
with a message concerning death, and trying to
prevent the inevitable. Very little description is
used throughout the story, excluding the
description the most important roles in the story;
the seven rooms, and the Red Death. I believe this
is written the way it is in order to keep the

Self Defense In Criminal Cases
1,315 words
One of the frustrations faced by many businesses
is that after the perpetrators of crimes have been
identified, the District Attorney's office will
not pursue the case. One option is for victims to
sue the DA in an attempt to compel him to
prosecute, but this would be costly and proving

prosecutors' offices should welcome) private
preparation of criminal cases. Pr...

European language. Beowulf is to the English what
Homer and the Odyssey were to the Greeks. Although
this is the earliest poem, it is still fun and
exciting to read. I didn't believe that a poem
which has been ...
