.... and everybody goes home afterward. Once Gabriel and his wife get to the hotel, she tells him a story of her ex-lover. It is only this point of the story, at the end of the story, where the story reaches a climax and ends almost abruptly. James Joyce's writing style is evidently different from most writers. After reading "The Dead", it became apparent that Gabriel Conroy from the short story had a few similarities to that of James Joyce. Could it be that the beginning of the story in "The Dead" was for James Joyce to develop his characters? Or was it just to develop the character Gabriel Conroy? Nonetheless, the similarities between Joyce and Conroy is their way of thinking, ....

.... to believe he was not a teenager, but in fact, much older. Oates does make Arnold out to be a psychopathic stalker, but never objectively states the diabolical nature to his character. In “Connie's Tambourine Man”, a critical essay on the story, the authors write about Arnold Friend: “There are indeed diabolical shades to Arnold just as Blake and Shelley could see Milton's Satan a positive, attractive symbol of the poet, the religious embodiment of creative energy, so we should also be sensitive to Arnold's multifaceted and creative nature” (Tierce and Crafton 608). Mike Tierce and John Michael Crafton suggest that Arnold Friend is not a diabolical figure, but in ....

.... sister. His quest for her affection is much like that of themedieval knight's quest for the Holy Grail. As he walks through thestreets of Dublin, "he imagines that he bares his chalice safely through the throng of foes." The narrator also imagines Mangan's sister as the holy Madonna. At one point, his love for Mangan's sisteroverwhelms him, and he presses his palms together and begins to chant "O Love! O Love!". The narrator's view of love is idealistic. He has set Mangan's sister upon a pedestal, and his expectations of love are too unrealistic. At the end of the story, the narrator is bitter.

.... contain small words like More milk, fall down, yuk, mum and dad. Now a 3 year old pre-schooler in contrast, speaks in complex sentences that show a sophisticated grasp on the rules of language, as well as a sizeable vocabulary ,More specifically: we went to see uncle bob and he was sitting on the sofa. And he gave me a box of chocolates. By the time a he/she starts the 1st grade the child would have a productive vocabulary and understand as many as 14000 words. this means that the child has learned 9 new words every day science he or she started to talk. This rapid increase of learning to speak does not slow down after this period of time, as a matter of fact ....

.... his characters in different words. He uses simple words to describe them. Poe uses long sentences with very little dialogue. One of his sentences make up almost a whole paragraph. Like in the second paragraph. There is only three sentences in the paragraph and no dialogue. King on the other hand, has very short sentences and almost every paragraph has a couple sets of dialogue. King tells the story through the characters speech. Poe tells the story through the explanations not through speech. Even though they have differences, they also have some similarities. Both writers use a part of nature that is out of control to overcome people. In Poe's story it was a s ....

.... true. He thinks about killing Duncan, but he knows that these are only thoughts and he dismisses it and decides to leave it to chance and time. "Present Fears // Are less than horrible imagining." "Whose (Duncan) murder is yet but fantastical." We can see that his mind is confused and distorted, because of what has happened and what may happen, and here we see the first signs of ambition, even though it is dismissed. "My thought ……. // Shakes so my single state of man." The second soliloquy is in Act I, Scene IV, when the Thane of Cawdor has been killed. Duncan describes him as ‘a man on whom I built an absolute trust’. This pa ....

.... to lying about his age. He was that eager to see it. When he enters the tent, Haze observes the body of an obese naked woman squirming in a casket lined with black cloth. He leaves the scene quickly. This first bout with sexuality was certainly a grotesque one, and one which, perhaps, helped fortify his resolve not to experiment with sex for years to come. Haze reacted to the incident on different levels. Before watching the "show," he was filled with curiosity. So badly he wanted to view this "EXclusive" show. After glancing at the body, he first thought that it was a skinned animal. When he realized what it was, he at once left the tent, ashamed, and perhaps frightened of ....
