    Turn off the sound while watching a horror movie. Watch the asinine teenager investigate the door, creaking open by some haunting force. Scared? Probably not. The horror movie genre feeds off of brilliantly unsettling soundtracks to terrify the audience, peeking through their hands as the creature emerges from the hollow darkness behind the girl. Even the great director Alfred Hitchcock alloted much of his movies’ successes to the clever use of the soundtrack, like the screeching violins in the…

    tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther. . . . And one fine morning- So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past. (189; Ch.9). In “anyone lived in a pretty how town” Cummings shows hope through syntax by rhyming. In stanza four, lines 13 and 14 the poet says “when by now and tree by leaf / she laughed his joy and she cried his grief.” This rhyming portrays hope because it’s the author’s way of making the reader feel a positive way, it…

Firstly, he began by explaining the setting, adding a comma, and then relaying his…
