A Man Lay Dead

John Proctor in the first act is a weak man. He cannot criticize people as he is an example of a sinner. It would be very hypocritical to talk about others while lacking morality. In addition, we see him whipping his servant who is still a young girl with such violence. There is a great disparity between this physical punishment and the principles of goodness and decency. John Proctor also accuses Elizabeth of being too much cold with him. He always is nervous when he talks to her. He talks…

interpretation of the quotes. These three quotes are: “Well, right now I'm not dead. But when I am, it's like…I don't know, I guess it's like being inside a book that nobody's reading. A book? An old one. It's up on a library shelf, so you're safe and everything, but the book hasn't been checked out for a long, long time. All you can do is wait. Just hope somebody will pick it up and start reading.” “He was a slim, dead, almost…

" What do you think he meant when he said this? The first ghost to meet the Scrooge during the night was his ex business partner Jacob Marley.

James Joyce’s short excerpt, The Dead, depicts the deranged thoughts a human can posses in his brain. Through motif, imagery, and point of view, Gabriel, the protagonist, portrays his riot of emotions and their aftermath. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder; however, what if the beholder, who held a precious place in one’s heart, crumbled one’s self image? Motif, one of the devices in this excerpt, plays an important role with the concept of love and beauty. According to the text, “He did not…

that. In the picture, dissection takes place in a Church. One can see the stained glasses as windows on the wall. There is a lecturer standing on a podium, some fellows or students who gather to observe the dissection, and a dissector who bows over a man with curled hair lying breathless on a long chair. These characters, with their special positions, postures, and clothes, constitute an authentic…

ESA-The Sniper The sniper lay alone in the streets of Dublin eager for battle to begin that morning. It was a dark and eerie night. Not a single ray of moonlight shone to the ground. The sidewalks were uneven and blood streamed through the gutters. He had cautiously opened his pack of cigarettes. He took one cigarette out, lit it, and took a puff. As he exhaled he grinned and smirked at the dead bodies lying around. His gun, a sniper, rested on the wall next to him. The cold blooded…

Hungry for a kill the men stumble on their way. They soon find the tree and under it lays piles of gold. At that point they completely forget what they set out to accomplish and shift focus on how to successfully acquire…

personalities, macabre situations, and moral blindness. Flannery O’Connor’s “A Good Man is Hard to Find”, Shirley Jackson’s “The Possibility of Evil”, and William Faulkner’s “A Rose for Emily” all portray these traits. Unlike American Literature, Southern Gothic Literature focuses on the disturbed personalities, and macabre/grotesque situations. We learn about the moral blindness found in the South. Flannery O’Connor’s, “A Good Man is Hard to Find”, shows the struggles that a family endures…

When she sees that dead man, her bubble gets burst and she is thrown into reality. She realizes that life can be very brutal and filled with savagery. “Very near where she’d stepped into the head was a pink wild rose.” (Walker) Myop symbolizes the rose, the innocence that still…
