Something Awful

Some people were quick to judge the first time someone seen him in the veil a older woman said: “He has changed himself into something awful, only by hiding his face.”(240). Hawthorne wrote that, “Mr. Hooper had the reputation of a good preacher, but not a energetic one: he strove to win his people heavenward by mild. persuasive influences, rather than to drive them thither by the…

boys and what they deserved. He knew that those colored boys didn't rape Ruby Bates and Victoria Price, that the story or statement he was told from those young men was truth. To fight so hard for something that is completely right and lose, hurts and can bring a great deal of pain. To want something so much and not get it, is saddening and frustrating. its like a child wanting a toy but cannot have it and initially makes them start to cry. I believe that is was Sameul felt because not only…

have any glory to his name, and if anything he is a reaper of humans, not monsters, which makes him a monster himself. If you kill the people that kill monsters, then you yourself are automatically a monster. He also said that being a hero is a “...awful inconvenience...Always having to stand erect, always having to find noble language! It must be a wear on a man”(84). Grendel does not stand nobly, and his language skills can be somewhat childlike, especially when he is in trouble and needs his…

going mad or trying to hide from God. The mask could reference that Hooper has a mental problem or that he has something to be ashamed of so he is hiding from God. “Some think their minister has gone mad, and an old woman complains that he has ‘changed himself into something awful.’”(Cording) Cording is saying that the minister has changed, maybe from the Devil, into something awful. It also gives off the sense that he has gone mad and is going to the dark side. Minister Hooper also states…

I think that Joseph Stalin the leader of the Soviet Union was an awful man who’s only interest was of his own well being and wanted to make a name for himself. Not in a positive way in fact he wanted to dictate the lives of innocent people solely for his own interests. With that being said this man Joseph Stalin rouse to the occasion when in 1924 the first leader of the Soviet Union Vladimir Lenin died. Stalin seemed to want everything done his way and his way only and if no one was in agreement…

Because it was beautiful Sunday morning, I went for a walk with my dog Benji. About halfway through the walk, Benji decided to squat and there was nothing that I could do about it. I needed to pick up the droppings with a plastic bag, which is something I think about in my worst nightmares. As Benji and I were on our way back home I threw the bag of dog waste in the trash can outside of the Stein’s house. Boy was I glad to get rid of it, but it reminded me…

Dreaming means something that might not always come true. Realistic means something that can come true and that it’s going to happen. Even though everyone has a choice to either dream or be real, but I choose realistic because I don’t want to dream something that might not come true. I choose realistic because it’s facing reality and I know for sure that it can come possible. For example, in the movie “ The Hunger Games “ is about several teams trying to survive by killing other…

on Fortunato, for what he has done is unacceptable. In The Utterly Perfect Murder by Ray Bradbury, Doug has horrific childhood memories with Ralph Underhill that he will never be able to disremember. In both stories, the antagonist has done something so awful that the protagonist will never be able to forgive nor forget what they have done. The only thing the protagonist can think of doing is killing their enemy off literally or figuratively.…

Elie Wiesel starts his story by explaining how he wanted to learn his religion, Judaism very much. He felt as though his life was missing something without Judaism or any religious organization in general. However, his father Shlomo disagreed with his son and refused him to learn about his religion. While wandering the streets, a 14-year-old Elie Wiesel found a stranger that would teach him…

While this might not sound awful a first glance, the more one thinks about this, the more horrifying it becomes. This fate is absolutely torturous if one takes the time to think about what it is really like to have burning hot tar poured on one’s body and then poked with feathers. While the duke and the king are terrible people, society treated them with no respect and acted much more violently than was necessary. When Huck is able to distance himself from these awful acts, the reader is able to…
