Acid Rain Black Slime Phil
402 words
The sun was setting. Far to the east, threatening
black clouds arose from the fumes of pollution
from the several smokestacks towering over the
city. The streets were pocks marked and dented
with the recent shower of acid rain. Hot boiling
steam from the sewers made the temperature of day
much hotter than it really was. Just outside the
borders of the city is a lake covered with muck
and crude oil spills. Death and despair floated
aimlessly on the surface of the un hospitable body
of water. Corp...

Rose For Emily Plays A Major Role
1,524 words
The use of literary devices such as diction and
symbolism are crucial elements in establishing
characterization. The diction, writers choice of

Jack And Ralph Law And Order
883 words
... And Then There Was Anarchy... First, it must
be understood that in William Golding's "Lord of
The Flies" the boys' lives on the island represent
a world-wide society. Golding's motives for
choosing the island setting, was because it works
best to have the characters isolated, where the
laws of their governments cannot reach them.
Golding chose children instead of adolescents, or
even adults, because children have not yet been
fully conditioned by society to understand right
from wrong, and t...

Poem Begins Hollow Men

disappointment in mankind around him is made
evident in this stark work, first published in
1925. In this short piece, Eliot enumerates
several deep faults he finds in his fellowman,
including hypocrisy, apathy and indifference, and
leaves the reader with a feeling of overwhel...

Mine Own Loves Fear Of Trust Line
519 words
This sonnet demonstrates Shakespeare's great
ability of playing with words. According to him a
person is tongue-tied when he has either too much
or too little to say. He illustrates his idea by
giving an example of an unperfect actor who
forgets his lines on stage and more curiously,
some fierce thing whose heart is weakened by the
weight of his own strength. This use of paradox
adds intensity to the sonnet and lays the
foundation for the following quatrain. The first
quatrain is like the silenc...

Jekyll And Mr Strange Case Of Dr
2,128 words
The Gothic theory of the double is both reductive
and powerful. It assumes that we are all playing a
role in life; that a raving beast waits within for
the chains to loosen or snap. Doubles stories seem
to proliferate when people sense an unnegotiable
divide between the true self and society, between
nature and culture. (Edmunson 48) Such duality of
roles is expressed in terms of split personalities
in both The Beast in the Jungle by Henry James
(1843 - 1916) and The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll
