Falling In Love Kate Chopin
1,121 wordsIn the short story Dsire's Baby, by Kate Chopin, surprise plays a very important role. Although the story has a surprise ending it can still have a second look with interest. While rereading the story I look for the details, which foreshadow the ending, that were missed the first time reading the story. But when I started to look for hints of foreshadowing I found that Chopin is doing more than tell us a story about a couple. She is trying to convey a message to the reader. Dsire's Baby is like ...

Mccarthy Vs Salem Witch Trials
1,530 wordsOften times it has been stated that history repeats itself, I have found an example of a situation where it did. Lots of people think that the McCarthy hearings of the 1950 s are a repeat of history from the Salem witch-hunts of 1692. In both cases, all of the accusations were false, and also fictitious.

Ides Of March Julius Caesar

Rhetorical Devices First Line
1,046 wordsGreat poetry is great not because of what it says but because of how it is phrased. Few poems say anything that is very profound; instead, the best of them use language in novel, memorable, and effective ways.

In this poem Shelley describes the depressing, dark, and dirty state of affairs caused in Britain by political, social, and spiritual corruption. However, this poem would not be nearly as effective if it were no...
