A Man For All Seasons
837 Words - 4 Pages

.... books to gain his approval of the King's new marriage. At the end of the play Sir Thomas was beheaded for committing crime of high treason against his King. This claim, contributed from Thomas Cromwell, was completely based on silence. More repented from speaking and in doing so, stopped Cromwell and King Henry VIII to obtain permission they so badly needed in order to convict Thomas of treason. Cromwell desperately needed evidence that More actually said something to someone, so he could prove that More would commit an act against England. To do this Cromwell created a story that said Thomas More and Richard Rich had said words about the King and in doing so, More would b ....

2109 Words - 8 Pages

.... reduced by up to 90% by European invasion, the equality of these peoples in many regards to their European counterparts, the importation of slaves into America and their unspeakable travel conditions and treatment, the callous buildup of the agricultural economy around these slaves, the discontented colonists whose plight was ignored by the ruling bourgeoisie, and most importantly, the rising class and racial struggles in America that Zinn correctly credits as being the root of many of the problems that we as a nation have today. It is refreshing to see a book that spends space based proportionately around the people that lived this history. When Columbus arrived on the I ....

.... and movement of his description. "Directly it begun to rain...rained like all fury...never see the wind blow so" (43). "...and the rain would thrash along by so thick....blast of wind.." (43+44). These descriptions keep the description moving and keeps the interest of the reader. They invoke common experiences that everyone has experienced. After reading these action words, the reader begins to develop a image of what it was like to be Huck at that point. This image is further aided by other factors. The other factors that influence the image the reader perceives are: word use, literary devices, allusions to common experiences, and specific details. Some of the spec ....


"How To Tell A True War Story"
814 Words - 3 Pages

.... war with people. I felt really secluded from society. In it is said that when people tell war stories they usually exaggerate to make the story more interesting. Sometimes the story sounds so over exaggerated and so far fetched that people don't believe it. The author Tim O'Brien says that, "Often the crazy stuff is true and the normal stuff isn't because the normal stuff is necessary to make you believe the truly incredible craziness" (461). After I did this a couple times, I was disgusted with myself and quit. I wanted to keep my memories of war to myself. During the war I picked up the nickname Krebs and that is what I was known as. When I returned home everyone called ....

.... too much attention to impractical details to the Leibowitz blueprints. Brother Francis spends many years copying the blueprints of the circuit design. Francis copies the design so carefully he mistakenly believes the color of the paper is important to the design of the circuit. Francis is set on mindlessly copying the blueprint he does not realize what the circuit design is for, and what is does. Brother Francis thinks regressively. The monks copy out the blueprints, and then do nothing with them. As a society we do the same thing today. In school students copy notes off the blackboard blindly, they do not know what they are copying. Therefore, they do not understan ....


How Does H.G. Wells Create Tension In: The Red Room
3157 Words - 12 Pages

.... the narrator is already aware that there had been a fatal accident involving the young Duke who had fallen down the stairs, supposedly running away from a ghost. This adds tension because it makes the reader wonder what is going to happen to the narrator as he does not believe that the castle is haunted. The way that the past suspicious happenings appear in the middle of the story also creates a lot of tension, as reading from the beginning, the reader does not know the circumstances responsible for the fear felt by the three residing custodians. "for he had opened the door and fallen headlong down the steps I had just ascended." "the tale of a timid wife and the tragic en ....


Ethan Frome: Poor Surroundings, Poor Life

.... of a character decide he or she’s life. Since Starkfield “...lay under a sheet of snow perpetually renewed from the pale skies...” (pg.7). Ethan’s life was already going to be trapped, helpless, and doomed. He should have already known this because “all the dwellers in Starkfield, as in more notable communities, had had troubles enough of their own to make them comparatively indifferent to those of their neighbors...” (pg.11). Naturalism even played a huge part of Ethan’s life since he was young. First “his father got a kick, out haying, and went soft in the brain, and gave away money like Bible texts afore he died.” (pg.13). Then his “...mothe ....
