Humans often find themselves ignorant of time’s passage and the consequences of their earthly errors. Robert Penn Warren’s poem, “Evening Hawk,” explores this concept and presents the idea that nature, as represented by the hawk, possesses a harsh judgement of humanity and its mistakes. The opening of the poem introduces an image of a hawk to observe the passage of time and human fallacies. Warren’s use of vivid language, both literal and figurative, conveys the mood and meaning of the work as a…

In Dracula, the author uses auditory and visual details to create a chilling and eerie mood. The “rising wind” that "moaned and whistled," along with the crashing branches of the trees, sets a haunting atmosphere (Stoker). The howling of the dogs and wolves, as well as the horses snorting and screaming with fright, intensifies the sense of danger and impending doom, sensed by nature itself. Visually, the lonely road is described as being "hemmed in with trees" that arch over the path like a…

Young Goodman Brown Nathaniel Hawthorne’s short story Young Goodman Brown transcends time. It shows a struggle that even modern Christians have. A person of rich faith can get so entangled in the pursuit of righteousness that they can forget to forgive. This is just one of the many ways this story can be perceived.

I was watching Ultima’s body, it was as if she had dried up like her herbs, but unlike them she could not heal anyone anymore. I then saw Tenorio, his bloody shirt dripping down on her. He had his two daughters by his side, they were palidas and each of them had specks of rooster blood scattered on their faces. Then they took Utima’s cadaver, and placed her into a woven cottonwood basket. What had this meant? Were her teachings to me from the Diablo himself? Were my friends correct about Ultima…
