In this paper, I will outline how Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde portrays good and evil in a vastly different than that of Frankenstein, and what…

2. Is Tom most responsible for Gatsby’s death? Daisy? Myrtle? Gatsby himself? Give reasons why or why not each character is implicated in the murder. In my opinion, multiple characters share the blame for Gatsby’s murder. However, I personally feel that Tom was the most responsible for Gatsby’s death. Tom once stated to Nick, “What if I did tell him? The fellow had it coming to him. He threw dust into your eyes just like he did in Daisy’s, but he was a tough one. He ran over Myrtle just like…

In the short story, “The Chrysanthemums” by John Steinbeck and in the poem “The Goblin Market” by Christina Rossetti the authors portray a tremendous amount of symbolism. “The Chrysanthemums” is a short story about a middle-aged woman named Elisa, who is married with no children and is very unsatisfied with her life.

The first scene starts with the eastern train "whirling onward" (Crane 79) from San Antonio through Texas, going west toward Yellow Sky. Jack Potter, Yellow Sky's town marshal, is on the train with his new wife, who "was not pretty, nor was she very young" (Crane 79). They are happy but uncomfortable, the bewildered them with all the amazing things. They were not used to it, and they are unnervingly aware of the proper surroundings. The travelers, and the waiter, and porter, look at them…

Science fiction movies are based off of imaginative while including futuristic advances while fantasy movies use imaginative elements that are impossible. The misconception between Star Wars and Star Trek fans that both franchises fall into the same genre is easily refuted. These loyal fanatics are familiar with untrue comparisons and they give the true arguable difference between the two genres. Star Wars and Star Trek do share similarities within settings, action, romantic scenes and their…

incorporate a literary detective’s sometimes unorthodox methods of deduction to solve the confounded mysteries in our own lives. These fictional tales of reasoning can be applied outside the world of crime because the methodology is sound enough to put to use in everyday situations. Upon reflection, I came to find that I utilized many techniques prescribed by the detectives in this course while researching a high school project. I was given the task of uncovering the history of a local landmark…

Just like cops, detectives put their lives on the line everyday going to scenes and never knowing if they will make it home, but in fact always hoping they will return home to their families. In this paper, I will explain not all that…

It was a dark cold winter night. The detective knew he would find his killer in this spot because of the suspect's phone records. When he finally showed up the detective quickly put the criminal in hand cuffs. This is what detectives do on the job. They investigate a crime, find out who did it, find out how find the criminal or suspect, and then put the criminal in prison. But to do this the investigator need certain things. Detectives need to have training in the police academy, experience…
