A wolf or lone wolf, in this case, must accomplish the same task every day and that is to scavenge for food. My accomplishments have pertained the wolf symbol throughout my life and high school experiences. I have worked hard to complete all of my duties, to pursue a happy life, and help others around me. Therefore, my accomplishment has come with a great share of work and I take pride in each and every one of them. I have three major accomplishments throughout my years in high school. One is the diverse amount of activities I have participated. I hate only participating in one activity every year without any change, so I brought it upon myself to try new activities. By doing so, I have gained a vast amount of knowledge from my experience for example, in belly-dancing I have learned to walk properly on a daily basis. My second accomplishment is currently having a cumulative unweighted GPA of a 4.0. I have put so much time and effort in each class that I strive to gain an A no matter what. My final accomplishment is more personal. I have managed to continue to find a reason to enjoy life even though the constant disruption throughout my life. This accomplishment is the most important to me because it placed me to where I am now and is the motivation to continue to live life. Due to this accomplishment, I am a firm believer if a person is unable to find something positive every day, then you are not truly living life at all. This is the same motivation and inspiration that lone wolf needs to hunt for food knowing that it will have to do the same thing in order to live each

    A farther similarity between the two is in their use of light and dark imagery. The “House of Seven Gables abounds with this imagery; and, for Poe, “The Raven” and “The House of Usher” contain this imagery effectively, as well. While Poe demands that his stories produce a singleness of effect, Hawthorne’s stories do not always possess this tightness of composition. Fro example, Poe’s stories, told by the first-person narrator usually reach a single psychological effect; in contrast, Hawthorne’s stories such as “Rappacini’s Daughter and “Young Goodman Brown” end with some…
