“No One Attacks Me with Impunity: Irony and Symbolism in “The Cask of Amontillado”” Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Cask of Amontillado” was published in the November of 1846, in a magazine titled Godey’s Lady’s Book. The piece of short fiction consists of Montresor confessing to and narrating a murder he committed many years prior, and is filled with dramatic irony and foreshadowing. The story, set in Italy, examines the conflict between two noble houses; that of Montresor and the rival Fortunato. The…

The Freedmen’s Bureau was a special organization created by the Congress to protect and assist the Freedmen and poor whites that suffered from damages after the War. However, the bureau did much more than just feeding the poor as they created schools for the blacks, provided medical care and offered protection to freedmen from the wealthy whites. The bureau also negotiated contracts between the planters and the freedmen. Most importantly, the Freedmen’s Bureau created the education opportunities…

Rogerian Argument There are 7.442 billion people living on this planet as we speak. That is a very large number. Now let me give you a couple more numbers to go along with it. 70 million people; these are the individuals who live with an eating disorder every single day. 36.7 million; these are the people who live with HIV/AIDS in the world. The authors of the readings for which this argument comes from all agree that one of the main reasons that these epidemics have become so out of hand is the…

off-kilter as to what is real and what is imagined. At the heart of this uncertainty is the ambiguity supplied by the perception of the detached narrator and the mind of the book’s protagonist, Eleanor. The Haunting of Hill House, unlike a work like Horace Walpole’s The Castle of Otronto, is never explicitly about the influence of ghosts or spirits, but relies rather on the implication of spectral influence. To faithfully represent this important distinction, aspiring filmmakers must use the…

Abraham Lincoln. Since Lincoln’s opposition was so divided among the South, he won the Electoral College handily without winning a single slave state, which pushed southerners closer to secession. Lincoln described his views on slavery in his letter to Horace Greeley when he wrote, “If there be those who would not save the Union unless they could at the same time save slavery, I do not agree with them” (1). While Lincoln acknowledges the value in resolving the hatred between the North and the…

In the time of Democratic-Republican and Whig powers, the United States was a very split country with little harmony. The Democrats began to fight for their ideals and spread them across the United States, usually by starting reform movements; which gradually changed the American society very gradually into the beliefs of the Democratic Party. These acts took place mostly in 1825 to 1855 and greatly changed the nation. Some movements such as the Women’s Rights Convention at Seneca Falls, the…

Compulsory Education in the 19th Century The foundations of education is an extensive subject that encompasses aspects such as education philosophy, policies and institutional trends. Horace Mann, had the conception that education should be universal, non-sectarian, free, and that its aims should be social efficiency. (Ellwood P. Cubberley, Public Education in the United States (1919), p. 167). In general the American people supported Mann’s ideals, however, even today education continues to be…

One common characteristic of Romanticism is the importance of the initiative and emotional and rejection of the rational and intellectual. Such is the case in “Usher.” Those who are skeptical in Poe’s Romantic influences would use this aspect of Romanticism to claim that he is not a Romantic because throughout the story the narrator attempts to explain the unexplainable with the rational. An example of this is when the narrator attributes an “iciness, a sinking, a sinking, a sickening of the…
