The Sound and the Fury

miserable monster whom I had created. He held up the curtain of the bed; and his eyes... were fixed on me... one hand was stretched out, seemingly to detain me, but I escaped and rushed downstairs... listening attentively, catching and fearing each sound as if it were to announce the approach of the demoniacal corpse to which I had so miserably given life” (Shelley 36). Victor is in a state of shock, “the accomplishment of [his] toils”(Shelley 35) is not a mannered, controlled being, but a…

down to the beach near the camp. Lately, I’ve found the sound of crashing waves, wind brushing through my hair, and the slight smell of salt hitting my face very soothing ever since I had met my best friend, Percy Jackson.

His world was painted in blacks and grays, highlighted in pangs of hunger, defined by simple lines- simple beings cutting through gray air, the black skies. Occasionally, they would speak to him, speak of him, hushed breaths saturating the frigid air. Upon such occurrences, the casual observer could discern the perverse glee that consumed his eyes and speed their gait, blurring the blackness of his actuality. They would not offer him a name, could not offer him a name, as such a creature,…

George Miller's Mad Max Fury Road has proven there is still hope for summer blockbusters. Even though it has been over 3 decades since Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome, the movie doesn't falter. In fact, since it has had 3 decades to hone and refine itself; Fury Road is better than its predecessors. The fantastical, gritty Mad Max has more depth than a surface analysis would expect. The choreography, directing, style, plot, acting and effects all combine together to create a masterpiece, or at the…

Macbeth’s lifetime, because he did mess up his chance at being king, he did struggle a lot with what he did, and he now believes that he will be forgotten. At the very end of the speech, Macbeth says, “It is a tale / Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, / Signifying nothing” (5.5.26-28). By this, Macbeth is saying that life is a story told by an “idiot” and signifies nothing. This sums up the idea of Macbeth’s insignificant, meaningless, pointless, and soon to be forgotten…

In the beginning, the author uses euphonic short “i” sound such as “kisses the rim” to describe calmness while the ball is on the rim but once the ball comes back down the the ground, the author transitions into cacophonic phrases such as “explodes past them in a fury,” to portray energy and action as the fast break is developing.
