the main character. Jurgis and his family move to
America searching for a better life. Jurgis works

Chepstow which is a Norman castle was constructed

the new king, William the Conqueror, was crowned.
It was built high over the river Wye in Southeast

hall was built by bricks taken from a Roman fort

advantage partly because it allowed allies to

House Of Usher Cask Of Amontillado
1,524 words
Edgar Allan Poe is famous for his short stories
and specifically the manner in which he was able
to draw in the audience and totally hold their
focus. Interestingly, it seems that all of his
stories have a specific location that is defined
by a specific space and time. This locale helps to
initially draw in the reader to the world that Poe
presents as his launching ground for the story.
His mastery of the physical world of his tales is
amazing, as is the manner in which he creates
these realms. ...

Italians immigrated in large numbers in the early
1900 's. It is estimated that nearly three million
immigrants came to the United States between 1900

self-destruction and painful feelings of women.
Plath attempts to exorcise the oppressive male
figures that haunted her life served as one of the
fundamental themes in her poetry. Her poetry is a
good example on how suffering and transformation
could be within traditional poetic contexts
(Initiation p. 142). She also believed that a poem
must give an express...
