Toshizo's Plots: A Fictional Narrative

Improved Essays
Pushing his buttons was exactly what Toshizo was trying to achieve through his actions, aside from letting his full Oni side take over; but that just added to the intensity of the situation that was laid before the both of them. At the time that his fingers had curled around their throat, he had applied pressure before he had let his hand slip back behind their neck. Fingers were securely tangled in blond strands, tug after tug being issued. "Give up and quit trying to act like I have this under control." Lips curled into a smirk as he gave a soft, almost evil laugh as his brow narrowed further, "no, the answer is no. You just want to taunt me, to hide the fact that you're enjoying this, thinking that you're gonna get your way. You aren't going

    When it comes to racial crimes and segregation there is nothing more depressing than talking about how many times our world has been through it. It has happened throughout our entire lives and sadly it still happens today. The devastation and violence from these acts have shaped the way our society is and it’s not necessarily good. As a white male I can’t say I have ever been part of any minority group, but as a white female in South Africa during the 1960s you could say it was quite shocking to be on the opposite side. In the book The Unlikely Secret Agent by Ronnie Kasrils a woman, Eleanor was living amongst the South African Apartheid.…

    The narrative of Benito Cereno can be defined in three parts: the first part is told from a third person limited point of view, the second part is Cereno’s deposition to the court, and the third section is a brief conclusion of the narrative. In the first part, the narrator is placed outside the story and our knowledge is confined to what Captain Delano knows. The third person limited point of view is a common approach in mystery narratives and it keeps the readers in the dark as to what exactly has happened and is happening. The narrator’s perspective told in free indirect style, blurs with Delano’s perspective, allowing us to identify and differentiate the two. And again, the narrative blurring emphasizes and dramatizes the greyness and ambiguity…

    Philip Caputo’s A Rumor of War tells the story of a man’s demoralization during the Vietnam war and how it is associated with a refusal to any direct guilt for his own actions in that war. Throughout the book, you can sense the murderousness that comes from Caputo due to several reasons. Although, at the end of the book, he does not confess this murderousness urge that he experienced during his time in Vietnam. Overall, I believe that Philip Caputo was able to prove that he is not guilty and that he is a victim to the U.S. government and the U.S. military as well as the environment of Vietnam, and the relentlessness of combat training. Coming straight out of his own mouth, Caputo was able to prove compelling evidence that these forces developed…

However, the humorous fact that the sound easily penetrated through the downy feathers brought a good-natured smile to his lips, and with a resigned sigh, he threw the pillow onto the floor and sat up. From across the room, Tom yawned loudly, a sleepy smile spreading across his face.…

I cannot say that freedom has the necessary relationship with independent, but somehow, we can link them together.…
