meaning the boy suffered, slipping in and out of death for a horribly long amount of time. Behind Elie, multiple prisoners questioned where God was. Elie responds in his mind with, “‘Where is he?

This moment in the book is the turning point for Elie’s faith and is the point in which…

Egotism, emotional weakness, and insufficient self discipline all lead to an average Puritan farmer’s tragic downfall of losing his good name and a trip to the gallows. His pride kept him from freedom, his difficulty with…

I chose to debate whether Proctor's choice of hanging from the gallows was vanity, or valiance. We'll start by discussing whether he should have lied , and about the lie. Then we'll move unto what parts we could consider foolish, or prideful. And lastly finish off in speaking about what we could be considered honorable,…

rope around him that caused his death. Similarly to this, the narrator discovers the representation of the white splotch is the gallows. Thus, this shows the cat symbolizes Pluto. As said in this short anecdote, it stated, “It was now the representation of an object that I shudder to name—and for this, above I say, the image of a hideous—of a ghastly thing—of the GALLOWS! --- oh mournful and terrible…

In Manner of Dying 534, Kevin is reflected as unremorseful, impatient, and rebellious according to the details which describe his character. Kevin’s last supper of “caviar; champagne; cigarillos” is extravagant; and ordering more champagne, shows that he has no regret for what he did. He would rather “prefer a topless waitress with a full tray of drinks” rather than Father Preston’s services. This reinforces Kevin’s character because he has no shame in taking full advantage of the situation he…

The Spaniards would “set burning wood at their feet” (Las Casas 10), which “burned them alive” (Las Casas 10). The Spaniards would also attach “straw or wrapped their whole bodies…
