The rainy weather is the physical incarnation of the metaphorical storm that began for the Mirabal family when Minerva slapped Trujillo at the Discovery Day dance: "And then the rain comes down hard, slapping sheets of it." It also represents Trujillo's power; the island is saturated in wetness as well as in the influence of the dictatorship. This quotation thus demonstrates the authoritarian theme that permeates the novel.…

    Palomarez does a very good job appealing to his readers’ emotions. He speaks of how Trump has gone back on a promise he made to Dreamers that they could “rest easy” (qtd. In Palomarez), which encourages readers to feel somewhat mistrustful of Trump. He also speaks of Dreamers who will “lie awake at night, wondering whether it will be their last one in America,” evoking feelings of sympathy from the audience. Palomarez also targets Trump himself in a subtler use of pathos, with the use of such words as, “cowardly,” “cruel,” and “reckless,” which cause readers to view Trump in a more negative light, and therefore, be more likely to oppose his decision.…

    Bishop Maurice drew a plan on the ground with a stick to show the builders his dream of the cathedral that would rise above Paris and when they told him that there wouldn’t be enough space, he demanded that they pull down the surrounding houses to make room. Bishop Maurice was a rich man, so he paid for the best stonemasons, the most skilled carpenters, and the finest painters to be summoned from all over France.

    Maupassant emphasizes the drudgery of the work Mathilde endures to maintain the flat, such as walking up many stairs, washing floors with large buckets of water, cleaning greasy and encrusted pots and pans, taking out the garbage, washing clothes by hand, and haggling loudly with local shopkeepers. All this reflects her coarsening and loss of sensibility, also shown by her giving up hair and hand care and by wearing cheap dresses. The work she performs, however, makes her heroic (9). As she cooperates to help her husband pay back the loans, her dreams of a mansion fade, and all she has left is the memory of her triumphant appearance at the Minister of Education’s party.…

    Montresor explains Fortunatos outfit the night his death takes place, “He had on a tight-fitting parti-striped dress, and his head was surmounted by the conical cap and bells (Poe, 165).” Ironically Montresor picked the night of the carnival and also knowingly Fortunato was going to dress as a jester, which will only further his humiliation. Easily convinced, Fortunato was mislead by Montresor down to the catacombs in beliefs that because of his vast knowledge of wine, that he will be able to taste the Amontillado to make sure it was authentic. “Fortunato abandons all reason and common sense in the pursuit of the Amontillado (Baraban).” but not only was Fortunato oblivious to the insults that has said that offended Montressor, but he ignorantly and drunkenly follows him into an obviously dangerous situation in desire of the…
