Dark figure of crime

being stuck in for fourteen years. When I was placed in the dark, dreary Chateau d’If, it hurt me greatly. Being in there messed with me, physically and mentally. I was so depressed that my only resort to finally being free and at peace was to starve myself to death. It did not work, fortunately, because I met Abbe Faria, one of my dearest friends that taught me everything I know today. He taught me how to read and write and helped me figure out who put me in that horrible prison. I would not be…

When the author accomplishes to make the readers feel emotions, the writer has caught their attention. Authors make fearful statements that have a relatable appeal. For example, “hunched in pain, no flashlight in the dark” (Szymborska 491). If the reader does relate and has a response to the writing, then he or she has relieved strong or repressed emotions. They will generally continue reading the poem. Another way the writers create a specific mood is by relating themselves…

People Are The Products of Our Environment Human nature involves the ways of thinking, feelings, and behavioral traits among human kind. The book, Lord of The Flies, by William Golding and the story of a serial killer named Jeffrey Dahmer both share similar traits when you think about how they affect “human nature” or how they affect society. Lord of the Flies and serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer’s story share similarities about human nature because they both show elements of savagery. William…

“freedom to” and “freedom from” early in Offred’s telling of her story (Atwood 24). ‘Freedom to’ is best described as being able to do what one wants to do, while ‘freedom from’ is established as a sort of protection from evils of the world: like crime and abuse. Margaret Atwood’s dystopian future argues two different perspectives on the concept of freedom, but ‘freedom from’ in Gilead is not true, but in…

“Who would Peter Be today ?”. by Estrada , Pg.69 Base on my own experience, I believe one of the reasons why many children accept other children being bullied , and they rarely step in to help the bullied children is the feeling of being isolated and bullied back from the other kids . There are many examples in social life show this for us every day and even in movies . When a group of students bully a kid and one member in a group have a thought that is unfair and want to protect the bullied…

if not the main theme that the author wanted to express in the story, is the case of the creature who is abandoned by his creator (Victor Frankenstein) and left to roam the world alone. The creature becomes corrupted and commits a number of serious crimes towards humanity and Victor Frankenstein himself. The questions that arise from this situation is, what turned the creature into a monster? Was the creature an abomination by nature or was it forced into this course of action by the society…

A hero is one who displays actions which can be viewed as brave and courageous; something that separates one from an average person. Hester displays heroic qualities through her trials and tribulations by the town of Boston. She is shunned from the community, distances herself from the world she once knew, but by the end, has become a symbol of good deeds and charity. Her badge of shame had now taken on a new meaning, “Such helpfulness was found in her--so much power to do, and power to…

The Ideal Society That Was Not Sexual orgies, frequent drug use, and a repugnance towards babies are the key qualities of an upstanding citizen. Well, they are in fictional dystopias anyway. Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World and George Orwell’s 1984 are novels that provide examples of a perfect nation that is more horrifying than innovative, but Huxley’s story appeals to more readers by showing how even a satisfying existence in dystopia is problematic. This essay will discuss both novels…

Despite the temporal and contextual disparities between Mary Shelley’s Gothic novel Frankenstein (1818) and Ridley Scott’s science fiction film Blade Runner (1982), both didactic texts analyse man’s hubristic pursuit of knowledge and power at the expense of humanity. The catastrophic outcome of usurping the natural order underscores the composers’ emphasis on retribution as the means to create equilibrium in an unnatural world. Shelley scrutinises the morally chaotic pursuits of the…

Steven Li Prof. Yang CHIN 355 November 8 2016 A Critique of China: The Connection of Writing Style in Yu Hua and Lu Xun writing Lu Xun’s heavily anti-feudalism and anti-Confucian and Yu Hua’s “China in Ten Words” represent that Chinese citizens have no rights to speak for themselves due to the low level of living environment and corrupted government’s policies also called dictatorship. In both of their works, they seem have nothing similar because they are talking about two completely different…
