Both authors use enticing writing styles and literary devices to unfold tales of premeditated murder.

Exploring concepts such as time, motive and death will illustrate the points of comparison and the reasons behind the need to avenge. The concept of time plays a huge part in Emily and Montresor’s actions and state of mind. The settings used in both stories define this concept very well.
This notion is evident in Stephen Frears’ film “The Queen”, the documentary “Pompeii: the Last Day” by Peter Nicholson and the novel “Mao’s Last Dancer” by Li Cunxin as all three composers rely on memory to represent a fusion of fact and fiction which ultimately influences our memory to view history in a particular light. In the film “The Queen” the subjectivity of history can be blatantly seen through the objective use of archival footage. This is firmly evident in the car crash montage scene where Frears takes the opportunity to cleverly frame his own version of Princess Diana’s “catastrophic” death towards the beginning of the film in order to position the audience to gain a greater understanding of the Queen’s moment of crisis. The use of high modality, in Mrs. Blair’s carefully chosen dialogue leading up to the montage scene, as she says, “... Diana. Whatever it is it’s always got something to do with Diana”, conveys Stephen Frears’ certainty of the ongoing private affairs in the royal family.

Bob is given the book at the end of the appointment, and he chooses to ride the elevator as part of defeating his phobias gradually. The technique of play therapy appears in the use of puppets by Dr. Marvin and Anna. Play therapy encourages children to express their emotions through toys as a method of recognizing and dealing with traumatic events in the past (Crenshaw, Green, Kolos, 2010). This therapeutic technique is not typically used with teenagers, but Dr. Marvin employs it with Anna to discuss her spending time with Bob.
David is speaking to her with his mind (telepathically) while she is at home on her own family farm. Uncle Axel, the farm handyman, comes across young David speaking to what seems as nobody. This strikes him as odd and he decides to question the boy. David explains that he is able to speak to certain people through his mind, people far away, well out of shouting distance. Uncle Axel, being one of David’s closest and most understanding relatives, advises him to keep this gift to himself - and not to speak aloud whilst sharing thoughts remotely.
Through music I express my thoughts and emotions. I enjoyed playing and listening to all styles of music. In school I play drums in concert band, and also played drums and piano in a highly regarded Jazz program.
