eye, with us looking down on him. This makes him appear smaller and inferior to the viewer. Looking down on the crippled man makes the viewer feel superior to him.

This makes the viewer feel as if she is superior and that she is important and respected in some way. Also, the vertical lines in the background behind…

Rather than be silent about all this concept in the 50’s, he decided to conduct a social experiment. Acknowledging the fact that he was a white male, he planned to consult a dermatologist to proceed with caution. Eventually, Griffin could stain his skin…

In Lord of the Flies by William Golding, many events occur in the novel where evil prevails in the minds of the tribe. The loss of innocence becomes greater and exposes young children to the "real world", where good and evil exists. Simon’s encounter with the Lord of the Flies is one of the major evil forces in the novel. Jack’s desire to kill only influences the rest of the tribe to become more like savages and run wild. Finally, the tragic death of Piggy is a result of the children assuming…

features appear hellish, matching his unsympathetic eyes from intoxication. “Is that what you’re worried about, food and shelter?” Joth asked, impatiently. It was the first wine he’d consumed since losing his gold to Sargus that fateful night in Rome. “We’re great heroes, Rinka. Arminius will reward us for saving the rebellion from disaster. And I would join him on any military campaign. I only pray to the North Gods that Arminius finds me worthy enough to be one of his followers.” Rinka…

Stepping out of the car for the first time in the southern United States felt like stepping into a hot sauna. The air was wet, and immediately my skin felt damp and sticky. I was no longer surrounded by mountains, but rolling hills and wooded areas that appeared almost tropical in their rich green color and hanging vines. The tops of trees had white webs wrapped around branches that resembled the appearance of cotton candy on a cone. I immediately encountered both larger forms…

Chapter One Willaston Place Whodunit, midnight in late July. The night sky weighed over Willaston’s spiky rooftop, and the ghost was watching. Standing there silently winding around the drapes, a shadow floating in shadows peering down at the ragged lawn. “Creepy on your three o’clock,” I whispered. My partner, Seth Holloway—a tall, slim sleuth wearing a brown trench coat and a deerstalker cap—continued fiddling with his flashlight. He liked to tinker. Seriously, a high school marching band…

trial. Like a fly watching his food, the spectators hungrily watch the trial and eagerly await Darnay’s death sentence. Dickens emphasizes how the jury members seem like animals when they continuously buzz at the exciting parts in the trial and fall silent when they are disinterested. Dickens’ description of the spectators suggests that they see the court trial as entertainment. I notice that Dickens introduces chapter 5 by describing the spilling of the wine cask. Immediately, the people…
