Assumption of Mary

Grendel: a sensitive and remorseful creature, or a horrendous beast? This question has been pondered ever since the release of Grendel by John Gardner in 1971. He may be portrayed as evil since the universal term of a “monster” has a negative and frightening connotation. Grendel went through mistreatment by the humans and never knew what it was like to be accepted. In human society, if something is different than the “norm” than it cannot be accepted. Grendel went through this exact dilemma just…

Abigail also makes the choice to accuse Elizabeth Proctor of witchcraft. Just by this choice, you can tell that Abigail is a very selfish,…

Analyzing Ray Bradbury’s literary devices of figurative language and diction resulted in the identification of the miserable tone. Figurative language uses various words with multiple meanings, a connotative and denotative definition, to convey a heightened effect on the audience. Ray Bradbury utilizes a plethora of similes in his writing. For example, he describes how Montag “wore his happiness like a mask and the girl had run off across the lawn with the mask and there was no way of going to…

Many people in the story The Crucible care about their reputations and they assume that their name could affect them in the situation. I feel like if they would tell the truth it would turn out better, and In my opinion telling the truth is going to be worth more in the end, than having a good name.

What creates a monster? People. All people have some sort of evil inside of them that can create something opposite of who they are. That evilness can be triggered in some kind of way whether it’s someone, or something. For example, there is only one person in this world that I truly hate because of the things that she does. She is what I would consider a monster why? All she cares about is hurting other people. That’s her muse, getting people to the point that they want to die (not saying that…
