Stories such as The Lottery and The Hobbyist showed such elements, which is why I picked those stories to show their differences. The Hobbyist by Fredric Brown is about a man named Mr. Sangstrom wanting to kill his wife, and asking a man called the druggist to help him by poisoning her. The situation quickly shifts for the worse as Mr. Sangstrom was tricked and…

First of all, Montresor methodically planned out the death of Fortunato before hand. In addition, Montresor…

“Men have called me mad; but the question is not yet settled, whether madness is or is not the loftiest intelligence.” These are the words of one author, Edgar Allan Poe. Known for his hair-raising tales, he has been considered an unusual man for many years. In one of his eerie stories, The Tell-Tale Heart, there have been many arguments over if the narrator is sane or psychotic.

poetic form used to connotate a concrete perspective is a Dramatic Monologue. Dramatic monologue changes the narration of the poem in order to accommodate the speech of a single person.

(Mar. 13) and E. E. Cummings’ “in Just-” (Mar. 25), I’ve used this assignment to analyze specific passages and poetry styles. Though my response to “The Young Housewife” leads into questions about what differentiates poetry and prose, my first paragraph discusses the effect of certain phrases and words on my understanding of the poem. Although I clearly had difficulty with Williams’ poetry, this analysis did prompt…

The war poet and war poetry in general were terms used firstly within context of the World War I.. From the beginning of the war times, poetry was written mostly by civilians, not by poets. Such poetry had no established identity. It was later, between 1914 and 1918 when this type of poetry acquired notion of genre, and so-called soldier-poets became a species.

Charlotte Mew (1869-1928) is the first selected woman poet in this study.
