Ulrich Alternate Ending Essay

Improved Essays
Good, Ulrich thought, the fool believes I have put this feud to an end, perhaps when my men arrive we can lift the tree off him, then throw him down a very precipitous hillside, with his current injuries, it would kill him most definitely. Or maybe he will simply put a bullet in him and end his miserable life, he will not be to picky as to how his life ends, there is no need for me to scourge him, just as long as I know that it does. Now Ulrich would simply just wait, if his men come first I will continue to pretend to be friends, but only until I am able to end his life safely. Ulrich hoped the man lying near him would stay quiet, he detested this man and it took everything in his power not to insult him. Ulrich was wheezing, the pain was almost unbearable, over time the pain had not began to ease one bit. He felt like he could just let go and he would slip into the beyond, but surely he could not do that with his enemy still breathing. Ulrich lied still, staring up at the trees, waving in the wind, and thought for a second that he heard Georges breathing slow, but much to his disappointment, this was not true. Ulrich began to wondered what would happen if he were to die here, what would Georg do, would he continue …show more content…
“Quite indeed,” said Ulrich, almost sinisterly. “ They would do anything for me” The men all nodded in agreement.
“ Let us return home my men,” said Ulrich.
“But what of Georg sir?,”asked one of the men.
“ I believe you are in possession of a weapon, shoot him.” Georg began to scream, spouting insults and cursing him to hell, but it was quickly shut out by the bang of a gun.
“ Are you happy now sir, now that he is dead?,” asked one of Ulrich’s men.
“Not particularly, but I do not feel bad either, and I doubt there will be many pious words said at his funeral.”

    A villain’s portrayal plays a big role in detective fiction. In The Big Sleep, Carmen and Vivian play important roles that differ from the typical representation of villains. Through years of enduring equality between men and women, it can be seen that women are finally able to prove that they have the capability and power just as much as men. An example shown in the film can be seen where Carmen is described as a femme fatale. She has two faces, one where she acts, as an innocent child while the other is a cold-blooded murderer.…

    “Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that”-- Martin L. King Jr. Mayella’s Social Power Everyone's lives are different; people all have different privileges and experiences. Some people may be able to afford expensive things; some may be able to acquire a high paying job; some, maybe, are just thankful to eat dinner that evening.

Harper Lee, the author of the novel, To Kill a Mockingbird, challenges the idea of power for one of her characters, Mayella Ewell, who is a low-life white woman who sends a black man, Tom Robinson, to trial for…

    Sometimes in order to solve an external conflict, we must solve our internal conflict first. In his short story “The Interlopers”, H.H. Munro presents the “character vs. self” conflict as the most significant. This is because it affected the inciting incident, rising action of the story, and climax. The first reason of why the “character vs. self” conflict was the most important, is because it created the inciting incident.…

    The author of “On Natural Death” by Lewis Thomas begins his essay by being lighthearted about death and progressively gets more into depth with the aspects of death for different living things and whether or not they detect pain. This is to objectify the fact that death is destined for all living things and that it shouldn’t be planned or feared but instead, it should be accepted. The first strategy Lewis Thompson uses is denouncing books about death. Lewis emphasizes that death is becoming planned with there being “so many new books about dying” placed next to “the health diet and home repair paperbacks”. Lewis insinuates that the topic of planned death is considered ordinary to where it’s placed next to everyday topics and accepted by society who doesn’t think twice about it.…

For the case of Christy, drunkenness inspires poetics in his chronicles. In Act 1, the rehashing of patricide is terse and bland; on his first glass of porter, he fumbles: “I never used weapons. I’ve no licence, and I’m a law-fearing man… I just riz the loy and let fall the edge of it… he went down at my feet like an empty sack” Here, Christy’s language is limited: his storytelling is prosaic as he reduces the magnitude of his murder to an underwhelming loy that ‘just’ fell, as if it were a mere case of Newtonian gravity.…
