On pg. 174, Twain writes, “...here comes a raging rush of people… I see they had the king and the duke, though they was all over tar and feathers… It was a dreadful thing to see. Human beings can be awful cruel to one another”. The townspeople poured hot tar on the two frauds and covered them in feathers.

The lady I could tell was in profuse pain, even through the shock of the accident, the emotions on her face just screamed bloody murder. I tried speaking with her, but there was no response besides the meager whimpers. I reached in and turned the car off, hoping that would stop any possibilities of the car igniting. As I was reached into the car, I noticed what this lady was dealing with. In horror, I had never seen anything like it.
Quick boys, an ecstasy of fumbling” and but someone still was yelling out and stumbling” creates the image of chaos and confusion within the soldiers that are being attacked and infected with the poisonous gas (9-10). .

The tall blond twins had entered the massive conference room, a massive library with plush red couches and a hard tile floor. Hubba went forth and thoroughly greeted, bowed down and shook the hands of all the councilmen. Bubba, however, was not too professional on his performance. Simply closing his eyes, scared to meet in the eyes with these men, he shook their hands like a dead fish, shaking as if he were having a spasm. One time, he even accidentally slapped Admiral Akbar in his mussel, freaking the Admiral to shout “It’s a trap!” And then the troops rushed in with their blasters locked and loaded.
They also show a lot of her body as she is showering to again add to the naivety that Janet has. When the killer actually comes in and he opens the shower curtain this gives a sense of shock to the audience as well as Janet. The music also adds to the scene when she is being stabbed to death because it’s very repetitive like the stabbing and the constant high pitch sound makes the scene more dramatic and over the top. After Janet is finally dead we see her blood washing away down the drain as if her life is washing away down the drain. We also have her fall out of the shower all tangled up in the shower curtain with open eyes and a glare that shows us that she’s watching her life washing away down the drain.

When she stooped to pick them up, the guys bent over her in a circle, closing in, screeching, screeching. Then this girl came out of nowhere. I’d never seen such anger in a girl before. She went up to the leader of the tormentors and ripped into him with a hot fury. “Stop it!” she shouted.
If in some smothering dreams you too could pace Behind the wagon that we flung him in, And watch the white eyes writhing in his face, His hanging face, like a devil’s sick of sin; If you could hear, at every jolt, the blood Come gargling from the froth-corrupted lungs, Obscene as cancer, bitter as the cud Of vile, incurable sores on innocent tongues,— My friend, you would not tell with such high zest To children ardent for some desperate glory, The old Lie: Dulce et decorum est Pro patria mori. Dulce et Decorum Est is a monumental literary work that introduces themes of undeserved tragedy, suffering, corruption, and futility. Tragedy, by definition, is “a dramatic composition, dealing with a serious or somber theme, typically that of a great person destined through a flaw of character to downfall”, and it is expressed through the use of diction that serves to emphasize the inevitable role that fate plays; words such as “cursed”, “helpless”, and
