... 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
reader focused on ...

Zeena who has come down to open the door. Now you

Until now you " ve only heard about her. Edith
Wharton intends us to see Zeena as particularly
ugly- sort of an old crone. Ethan notices, as

Once there was an old lady who had a cat. She was
83 years old and had found a beautiful gray and
white cat. It had pretty silky fur and gold eyes.
Its fur was long and soft. When she picked it up
it would purr in her arms. After she cleaned it up
and fed it she than named it. The old lady said I

Give The Reader Carl Sandburg
1,475 words
In this assignment I will gracefully compare and
contrast two short poems. In my selection for the
poems, I kept in mind that the two poems needed to
have something in common metaphorically or
thematically. After many hours of browsing (or
about 30 minutes) I came upon two poems that
contained an ultimately strange connection
metaphorically and in content. Interestingly, the
two also had numerous differences. The first poem
I encountered was "The Sick Rose" (1794) written
by William Blake. Soon ...

b) The subject The cat is a patient. I know this
because fell is an intransitive verb so nothing is
suffering the effect of the cat. It is not an
experience because it is not attributed any
emotional response. The cat is suffering an
action. This sentence could be the response given
by a child to the question 'What happened to the
cat?' Knowing he would be in trouble if he admits
he shot the cat with a bb gun the child tries to
distance himself from the act by telling his

Stories He Illustrates Beauty No Longer Evil
603 words
Absence of Beauty Edgar Allan Poe sees evil as a
living threat to man because he lives in its
presence. Parallel with the tragedies in his own
life relating to the deaths of his young mother,
wife and others he loved in his life. It is no
wonder that he sees the absence of beauty as evil,
because he felt the terror and tragedy of the loss
of his own life. In his stories he illustrates how
the absence of beauty is the essence of evil. In

Edgar Allan Poe First Person Point

Edgar Allan Poe: Crime and Punishment A certain
group of short stories of Edgar Allan Poe can be
described as the Tales of Gothic Horror, but I
would like to group them as tales of crime and
punishment. All them are surprisingly simple and
the moral meaning easily understood: guilt causes
pain; loss of human contact means spiritual death;
and conscience must be carefully thought about.
The two stories that I felt applied the greatest
are The Black Cat and The Tell-Tale Heart. Each
has a differen...

Edgar Allan Poe Modern Critical Views
1,244 words
The short story writer which I have chosen to
research is Edgar Allen Poe. After reading one of
his works in class, I realized that his mysterious
style of writing greatly appealed to me. Although
many critics have different views on Poe's writing
style, I think that Harold Bloom summed it up best
when he said, Poe has an uncanny talent for
exposing our common nightmares and hysteria
lurking beneath our carefully structured lives.

setting and narrative...

Edgar Allan Poe House Of Usher
4,280 words
Best known for his poems and short fiction, Edgar
Allan Poe, born in Boston on Jan. 19, 1809,
deserves more credit than any other writer for the
transformation of the short story from tale to
art. He for the most part created the detective
story and perfected the psychological thriller. He
also produced some of the most influential
literary criticism of his time. Poe died Oct. 7,
1849. Poe's parents were touring actors; both died
before he was three years old, and he was taken
into the home of J...

Ethan Frome Chapter summary PROLOGUE One thing
that sets Ethan Frome apart from other novels is
the way the story is told. Edith Wharton doesn t
just start at the beginning and tell you what
happens. Rather, she uses a narrator who knows no
more about Ethan Frome than you do. The narrator,
who remains nameless, is a young engineer. He
tells you how he uncovered Ethan s story bit by
bit. He recounts what people said to him and what
he observed during the months he spent in Ethan s
hometown one wi...

Ascension To The White House As Governor of New
York, Roosevelt would once again stand on his own
and distance himself from the political bosses and
machines that got him elected. The head of the
Republican machine, Thomas Platt, had misgivings
about making Roosevelt governor of New York
because of Roosevelt's total independence and his
reform nature. But in the gubernatorial race of
1898, with the bad press the Republican Party was
receiving, there seemed to be no one else who had
a chance. Roo...

Alice Adventures In Wonderland Hallucinogenic Drugs
782 words
The Dreams of Alice Many people have argued that
hallucinogenic drugs influenced Lewis Carroll's
novel Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. However,
upon closer observation, the story more closely
resembles the experiences people have while
dreaming, rather than while under the influence of
drugs. There are numerous examples throughout the
novel which support the idea that it is based on
dreamlike experiences. The first example of how
the story relates to dreams is in the beginning as
Alice finds h...

Poe Edgar Allan Cask Of Amontillado
2,637 words
Poe is a very complicated author. His literary
works are perplexed, disturbing, and even
grotesque. His frequent illnesses may have
provoked his engrossment in such things. In 1842
Dr. John W. Francis diagnosed Poe with sympathetic
heart trouble as well as brain congestion. He also
noted Poe's inability to withstand stimulants such
as drugs and alcohol (Phillips 1508). These
factors may have motivated him to write The
Tell-Tale-Heart, The Cask of Amontillado, and The
Black Cat. All of these stor...

Kurt Vonnegut has written more then twenty books
in the years he has been writing. Many of his
books share characters, settings, or situations.
Using the same characters and such creates a unity
throughout his books. Likewise, Vonnegut seems to
repeat themes throughout many of his books. A
number of Vonnegut s books deal with themes that
include structure and order in society. Kurt
Vonnegut discusses mankind s need for structure
