    Shakespeare’s The Tempest is a play that follows the stories of Prospero, Calbin, Ariel, and others while they are on an island that Prospero has taken control of for the time being in the story. This story is said to parallel the British colonizing the new world.

The story contains to many parallels to not be a critique.…

The diction throughout his essay is what makes the monster sound terrifying, even if you have not seen the…

The wart covered appearance makes it seem like a toad, and if it were to disconnect from its body, it would be a stretched out cone. Acting as a steering wheel in the sky, the tail shifts back and forth to change direction. Dull spikes run down to the end of the appendage, dwindling until it…
