Edgar Allen Poes Fall Of The H
... houses don’t have a sense of feeling, Poe is giving the house life with these words. This is the first sign of a supernatural or unusual atmosphere.
When the narrator is examining the building from the outside he describes what he is seeing and how he feels as he looks upon the house, “the vacant eye-like windows…upon a few rank sedges—and upon a few white trunks of decayed trees—with an utter depression of soul which I can compare to no earthly sensation more properly than to the after-dream of the reveller upon opium” (718). This statement contributes to the collective at ...

Symbolism In "The Pearl" By John Steinbeck
... (Steinbeck 27) a
legendary item of considerable wealth. "Kino, on the other hand sees the
great pearl as providing the opportunity to pay for a church wedding, new
clothes, a rifle, and schooling for his son…" (Warren 28). From these

The Crucible: John Proctor
... The three major points I will be talking about in my essay about are as follows: 1 His entrance into the play where he is talking alone to Abigail and trying to convince himself that he is not an adulterer and that they did not have an affair. 2 when John is reciting the Ten Commandments. 3 where John tells Elizabeth that he are going to confess.

However, under close magnification you can cleary see that Hester is
actually angry at the hypocrisy of her Puritan neighbors to the point where
she does not openly display her anger but in a rather sarcastic manner. In
chapter forteen Chillingworth urges Hester to remove the A. She there
replies by saying, ‘'Were I worthy of it, it would fall away of its own ...

The Adventures Of Huckleberry Finn: A Satirical View Of The Old South
... when Huck is able to interact
with Jim and also learn from him while the southern slave society treats
Jim as nothing more than an object. We see the southern perception of
black people in chapter thirty-two when Huck tells to Aunt Sally his story
about the blown cylinder head. When she asks him if anyone was hurt he
said "no'm. Killed a nigger." When she shows no emotion in her reaction
it shows us how many southern whites looked at blacks. We also see at many
times during the novel that Huck and Jim have a true friendship. The go
out of their way at many times for the welfare of eachother and they
