Death is everywhere in Starkfield. If I had to relate it to any of the characters, I would say Zeena, only because she is so sick throughout the book. Also, we know from the beginning of the book that some tragedy happens to the Frome family but we aren’t sure until the last few chapters of the book. So, the prologue sets a feeling of possible death for the whole book. Before the accident when Mattie and Ethan enter the house, Wharton describes the kitchen as “the deadly chill of a vault after the dry cold of the night.” I think this image is appropriate for the experiences of the years following Ethan and Mattie’s accident.
The main conflict in “Blithe Spirit” is a conflict of love; the ghost of Elvira haunting the couple causes tension between them that brings up deeper problems of the couple. The climax occurs when Madam Arcati tries to get rid of Elvira, after Ruth has died, and instead brings Ruth’s ghost into the house as well. The entire play took place in the house of Charles and Ruth; the design elements were relevant

As she looks around the room, she recalls that “it was in this chamber he,” her uncle, “breathed his last” (19). As she stands there recalling this fact, she finds “the room is chill…it was silent” (19). The low temperature of the room symbolizes discomfort and fear, maybe even the presence of a ghost; however, the temperature is not the only quality that gives the room its haunting feature, it is also the color scheme. The room is a mix of the defiant color of red and the solemn shade of white. They contrast with each other well because they both represent different elements.

This viewpoint is particularly effective in this chapter, as readers, we can relate to the terror and anxiety felt by Arthur. At the start of the chapter he comments on feeling ‘calm and cheerful’ however this state of contentment disappears at the chapter progresses – ‘I sat, too terrified to move’ and ‘my throat felt constricted and I began to shiver.’ In the ghost story genre this technique is effective – we can imagine ourselves in Arthur’s place – reliving his experiences. Hill uses the senses to create a sense of terror in this chapter during which the theme of childhood is developed when Kipps discovers the locked nursery. The use of the bumping sound ‘bump
Within that setting, the film tells the story of Conrad's attempts to deal with the guilt he feels after his brother's death. A series of psychotherapy sessions with Dr. Berger (Judd Hirsch) plays a crucial role. Seeing Dr. Berger also helps Calvin understand some things, and when in a midnight confrontation he tells Beth of his sorrow that she has substantially changed for the worse, she packs her bags and leaves. The film ends early the next morning, with Conrad and his father in an emotional embrace on the front steps of their home. The movie ‘Ordinary People’, as its name implies, basically deals with average people who are actually very common in real world as their problems are.
While both “The Yellow Wallpaper”, story and movie explores the mystery behind the ‘wallpaper’ the representation of Charlotte (The Wife) differs in certain aspects. Having to watch the movie and also reading the story has led me to see the many differences in the character. However two main contrasts between them are the bedroom she rested in and her child. In addition, you can compare both characters because they became the women behind the yellow wallpaper. At the beginning of the film the husband and wife grieve about the lost of their child from a house fire and they are having a terrible time accepting the fact the child has deceased.
As Henry, Jimmy, and Tommy sit at Tommy’s mothers dinner table with the dead body in the trunk, Henry appears to be very anxious, and Tommy’s mother inquires him about it. This uncertainty and fear can also be remembered in the very first scene in the movie when he is the only one who appears alert and ready as his two “co-workers” drift off in the passengers with a dieing man in the trunk. I also believe this is why the movie begins with this scene and is then shown again at the end of the flashback. It is another very important scene, in addition to the scene near the beginning with Henry and Karen entering through the secret entrance. Many other examples can be observed in short, such as the first person view of a pistol looking down your face from Henry Hill’s wife after she discovers he is cheating, when Henry is strung out on drugs the day of his arrest and we get a first person view of a helicopter above, and the focus on Henry Hills cross necklace as he picks up Karen for their first date.
