ter> Brian says 'you " re about as fatale as an
after dinner mint!' Is Sally really harmless?
Brian's exasperated accusation that
Sally is 'as fatale as an after dinner mint' is
expressed at the end of a weekend away with Max.
The outburst reveals Brian's opinion that Sally is
not the seductress she fancies herself to be, but
is simply 'deluding' herself. However, one must
stop to consider the meaning of harmless when
applied to Sally Bowles. She is essentially
self-absorbed and theatr...

Cask Of Amontillado Impending Doom
1,182 words
In the short horror story The Cask of Amontillado
by Edgar Allen Poe, Poe attempts to convey why
both pride and revenge can become dangerous when a
person is overwhelmed by either. Poe, through the
use of various literary techniques, introduces an
horrific drama of two men, one who will stop at
nothing to get the revenge that he believes
himself and his family worthy of, and another

of his own death. Fortunato falls prey to
Montresor's plans beca...

Midsummer Nights Dream Act 2 Scene 1
1,358 words
The use of certain mechanical writing techniques
can either make a story or break it. In
constructing a narrative, an author must choose
wisely upon determining which writing style will
be adapted. A popular technique practiced by an
abundant number of authors is irony. With irony,
what is stated or done is the opposite of really
what is meant. Irony is a manner of expression
through which words or events convey a reality
different from and even opposite to appearance or
expectation. The use of ...

Time Traveler Time Machine

The Time Machine Let me start off this essay by
saying that I believe H. G. (Herbert George) Wells
is one of the most intelligent writers of his
time: a true futurist. Obviously, I read The Time
Machine by H. G. Wells and I would like to say
that it was extremely well written and sounds as
though it was written fairly recently. It may just
sound this way because the human race has not
really tried Time Traveling. The theme of The Time
Traveler is, as I see it: Think about what you are

World War Ii Heller

Catch- 22: A Study in Post-War Attitudes by Chris
Nicholson In 1961, Joseph Heller published Catch-
22, his first novel. Based on his own war
experiences, the novel wickedly satirized
bureaucracy, patriotism, and all manner of
traditional American ideals. This was reflective
of the increasing disdain for traditional
viewpoints that was growing in America at that
time. (Potts, p. 13) The book soon became
championed as another voice in the antiwar
movement of the 1960? s. However, Heller himself

golden dreams are shattered too. The ghosts tell
stories of all who came Dead, alive, blind, and
lame. What he said I did not like, An unearthly

demonic might. Down the tunnel of the soul, Broken

Tragic Downfall Tragic Hero
384 words
Pride that Leads to Tragedy Pride can be a very
pernicious quality in a person. This theme is
displayed very well by Creon, a character in the
book Antigone and also the tragic hero, whose
pride led him to a tragic downfall. Sophocles, the
author of this Greek drama, encompasses tragedy in
most of his plays. As I mentioned before, a bad
quality of Creon is his obstinacy. This got in the
way of a lot of things, including his family.

that State come...
