Clocks

Mystery in The Clock Tower Upon a black and cold midnight in the town of Astoria, a young 13 year old girl is running home. The pitter-patter of her footsteps echoes across the still, quiet land. It was almost as if a blanket covered the world, the only light was from the bright and big full moon. The darkness wraps around her as she hurries, but then, right as she runs past the light beige clock tower, it chimes thrice. “Midnight.” she thought. She gazes up at the towering, majestic…

Involuntarily I glanced seaward- and distinguished nothing except a single green light, minute and far away that might have been the end of a dock.” (Fitzgerald 25-26) Jay Gatsby was looking at a green light and…

The ebony clock, to me, represents existentialism and a grim, epiphanic reminder of how dark and fleeting life was in that time of the Red Death. Survival is the idea that lives inside of the clock. In a time such as the time of the story, fears of death only faded with death itself, and since all of the partygoers were the gay ones of this story (as it pertains to joyousness), and they died, the clock only could have…

The idea of overwhelming grief is evident in the beginning stanza of Stop all the Clocks with the use of the hyperbolic directive "stop all the clocks, cut off…
