The purpose of this essay is to show how Allen Poe affects the reader by using first person narration in "The Tell-Tale Heart". The first person narration helps the readers to connect themselves with the protagonist in the story so that the readers are able to feel and understand his actions and emotions, and sympathize with these. Without the use of first person narration, the connection between the reader and the protagonist would've broken and, therefore, the readers wouldn’t have able to…

classic of the Gothic fiction, first published in 1843 by Edgar Allen Poe. Poe combines his own lifetime experience of bereavement, human despair and troubled human relationships into one disturbing, yet engaging first-person narrative told by an unreliable narrator. Poe’s use of first-person narration is essential to enlightening the audience as the narrative exemplifies an internal monologue of the disturbing mentality of a man who claims to be “sane.” Throughout the short story, Poe manages…

The notion of “separateness of persons” has posed several convincing objections to utilitarianism. These have been voiced by Rawls, Nozick and Nagel all of which have disregarded the moral force that drives utilitarianism, highlighting the theories lack of recognition of individuality and separate utility. To me, the “separateness of persons” not only is successful in silencing utilitarianism, it also is crucial to our very concept of morality. I argue this through presenting defeats to…

The theme of Cat Person seemed to be about relationships and dating, and I can definitely say that it succeeds at presenting how complicated these things are. Margot’s view of Robert changes multiple times throughout her date with him. One moment, she thinks he’s going to murder her, in another she sees him as a nice and sensitive man, and later she’s disgusted by him. This scenario is normal, though, because the two mostly communicated through texts. Margot’s impression of him mainly stemmed…

Personhood Eric Olson, E. Jonathan Lowe, and Lynn Rudder Baker each has different accounts for what a person is. In this paper, I will talk about their points of view on personhood and compare and contrast their ideas while talking about my own account on personhood. Olson believes that we are all animal. As a result a person is matter that has mental features. Matter is a physical substance that has mass and occupies space, as distinct from immaterial substance like mind and spirit. Mental…

to be there for that person for any support they need. To figure out what happened with the person that you are trying to effectively cheer up, you need to ask what’s going on but don’t go straight into it, easy up to the subject because maybe it’s hard on the person to tell other people what’s going on in their life. Go through each step slow and steady without being direct, after you give them a pep talk, a guide in what’s okay or not okay. After you tell the one person what they need to…

is untrue, the average person living there often feels that they are not unique. Pablo Neruda is a famous Latin American poet and his poems “We Are Many” and “Too Many Names” show this feeling through just their titles. One theme that is pervasive in Latin American literature is the lack of individuality. A lack of individuality often causes stress and unease, resulting in some level of conflict. Latin American authors use person versus self, person versus person, and person versus society…

Humans think they’re special. Scientifically, the average person thinks their above average, which is not true due to if every one is above average than “above average” is average. The problem this creates is that the “above average” person has a special skill that would make them “above average.” Said person has an individual life that makes them different from the seven billion people in the…

well. Imagine handing a hundred dollar bill to each of these people. The person struggling to feed their kids might break down and cry and say thank you because now their kids can eat more than ice and water for the month. The millionaire would probably laugh and use it to blow his nose. Money, in a sense, is relative. It all depends on the situation at hand. No two persons will manage their money the same. Also, if a person does have a lot of money they will most likely be surrounded by people…
