The Spare Hissss-thump! Hissss-thump! Hissss-thump! My arrows go flying out of my hands in the matter of seconds. I smile as each one of them hits their target. I look around the little clearing, glancing back to see if Clark was watching me practice. Sure enough, he’s sitting on the front porch of our two bedroom cabin.

The dark and eerie mansion of the ironically named Prince Prospero is complete with, “…a gigantic clock of ebony…” that ominously swings “…to and fro with a dull, heavy, monotonous clang,” (Poe 2). Poe goes on to mention that when the clock chimes, all else falls silent. The enormous clock he speaks of symbolizes death, which acts as an intruder at the party…

Entrapment Entrapment is a hot topic in hard to decide cases, dealing with an opinion can be a difficult idea when the law is involved as well. Entrapment is a process whereby a law enforcement agent induces a person to commit a criminal offense that the person would have otherwise been unlikely to commit.
