- 11321: An Analysis of “The Cask of Amontillado
- ... Fortunato because “he ventured upon insult”(191). We also learn that he intends to go unpunished for this act of vengeance. The narrator informs us that he is going to continue to smile in Fortunato’s face, but use the pride his victim has in wine to lure him into the catacombs to taste some of his non- existent amontillado. At this point, the reader knows the conflict will be one ... through his own words. When he reveals he is going to punish Fortunato for merely insulting him, that he has planned the whole act of vengeance, and that he has been playing as being Fortunato’s friend, we know we are dealing with a demented personality. His character is also revealed with references to his family. It is almost as if Poe has Montresor’s ancestors tell the reader how nicely he fits into the family tree. His legacy from his family motto “No one attacks me with impunity”(193) and a coat of arms that depicts a serpent ...

Hydrogen has a high combustion energy per pound relative to any other fuel, meaning hydrogen is more efficient on a weight basis than fuels currently used in air or ground transportation.

- 11323: Getting Rid Of George
- Personal Response to Getting Rid of George Robert Arthur’s story, Getting Rid of George is a good gothic story because of it’s various examples of required gothic elements. These requirements include atmosphere, psychological state of mind, mystery, romance, and melodrama. All of these combined make this story a good gothic example. To begin, the setting, at one ... Lastly, hallucinations were also prevalent in the story as well. We thought a good example was when Harry and Laura were bringing George to the cabin to dispose of his body, Laura claims that George’s dead eye slowly opened and gave her a knowing wink. Elements of mystery were also used throughout this story. Many things were hidden or unknown. Some examples are when George walked into Laura’s ...

Oscar really didn’t have any clue what was going on as far as the situation with the Jews and the Nazi Army. Reality struck him when his workers were being taken away from his ghettos and placed in ... on his tombstone out of respect for such a courageous job that he did. Personally, I own this film and this is the third time that I have watched it. Every time I see Schindler’s List I get the same results. It is a very difficult film to watch even when you know what is going to happen. It is hard to imagine that anyone could be this cruel ...

- ... with regards to censorship, and book burning in Germany, and McCarthyism in America. That is what he is speaking out against. Bradbury is also a very symbolic writer, he incorporates symbolism into his book. Bradbury's use of symbolism throughout the novel makes the book moving and powerful by using symbolism to reinforce the ideas of anti-censorship. The Hearth and the Salamander, the title of part one, is the first ... that he can escape the fire and survive, much like a salamander does. On the other hand, it is ironic that Guy, and the other firemen believe themselves to be salamanders because both Capt. Beatty's and Montag's destruction comes from the all mighty flame, from which they thought they were invincible. The symbol of a Phoenix is used throughout the novel. This quote accurately describes the Phoenix, "It is known to ...
- 11326: Emma
- ... affectionate father. Her mother had died when she was only a child and her sister, Isabelle, had married at an early age. This made her mistress of his house from a very early period. Emma’s self image is very strong and she is doubly pleased with her match-making skills, which turn out to be disastrous for her friend Harriet.

- 11327: Eleven
- ... and two. She feels that the old age will give her the respect and wisdom to be able to stand up for herself. Through the use of point of view and diction, Cisneros develops Rachel’s character and shows that despite her youth, Rachel is capable of feeling and expressing ideas and emotions universal to all ages. Rachel is a round character who has learned a lot about growing up from the experience she has had on her eleventh birthday. She retells her story in the first-person point of view, letting the reader witness firsthand Rachel’s predicament. By having Rachel recount her birthday rather than a narrator tell the story in the third-person point of view, the reader gets to witness everything Rachel feels during the course of her day. We are able to see Rachel’s thoughts as she ponders why when you turn eleven, you do not feel eleven, but rather all the previous years together "like pennies in a tin Band-Aid box." The embarrassment Rachel feels is ...
- 11328: Critical Analysis Of Silence Of The Lambs APA Format
- ... size and then flays them in order to make body suits out of their skin. He is based upon the real life sexual psychopath, Edward Gein, who was also classified as schizophrenic. During the 1950’s he gained notoriety as one of the most famous combinations of necrophilia, transvestitism, and fetishism (Martingale, 1995). With the exception of necrophilia, Jame Gumb had an almost identical psychological make-up. The only true weak link in the author’s psychological profile of the characters is exactly how Lecter knew of Gumb and how he relayed the information to Starling. Lecter prided himself on being able to figure things out on his own, yet the revelation of his knowing Jame Gumb came about through recalling a memory of one of his past patients, who was also a lover to Gumb and one of Lecter’s final victims. The fact that Lecter did not use any of his ample critical thinking skills into coming up with a suspect for the “Buffalo Bill” murders seems very out of line with his ...

When Dickinson writes in her first line, "I heard a fly buzz when I died," it grasps the reader’s attention by describing the moment of her death. After reading the first stanza the reader can almost hear or sense the feeling of the fly buzzing in such a still and quiet room. The contrasting ... the stillness in the air draw the reader deeper into the poem. The image created by this contrast is like the color white on the color black.

The second stanza reads, "The eyes beside had wrung them dry, and breaths were gathering sure for ...
- 11330: The Black Cat By Poe
- "The Black Cat" by Edgar Allan Poe Edgar Allan Poe wrote that the single effect was the most important aspect of a short story, which everything must contribute to this effect. Poe s gothic tale The Black Cat was written trying to achieve an effect of shocking insanity. In this first person narrative the narrator tells of his decline from sanity to madness, all because of an obsession ... era. This makes the setting the weakest element of The Black Cat. Next, symbolism is always an integral part of any Poe story. The most obvious of symbolic references in this story is the cat s name, Pluto. This is the Roman god of the underworld. Pluto contributes to a strong sense of hell and may even symbolize the devil himself. Another immensely symbolic part of The Black Cat is the title itself, since onyx cats have long connoted bad luck and misfortune. The most amazing thing about the symbolism in this story or in any other of Poe s is that there are probably many symbols that only Poe himself ever knew were in his writings. Furthermore, Poe s plot development added much of the effect of shocking insanity to The Black Cat. ...
