English 1108 The Masque of Red Death For my literary analysis I’ve chose the story The Masque of Red Death, by Edgar Allan Poe. I really like this story; I’ve read it before in my classes and researched about it. The Masque of Red Death teaches a moral, that no matter who you are, you can’t escape your fate. The Masque of Red Death is a story about this somewhat of a plague coming over Europe in the early 1700’s. The Red Death is everywhere, it’s killing people by the hundreds daily.

” I am haunted by humans.” If there is one thing that everyone has in common, it is birth and death. The aforementioned quote from the novel, The Book Thief, by Markus Zusak, is the last line of the book from the narrator, Death. It shows the potential of the human race, because it is more commonly thought that the human race fears death, and not the other way around. The Book Thief takes place during World War II, when Adolf Hitler, better known as the Fuhrer to the Germans, set up the Third Reich, or Nazi Germany in order to make Germany the world’s superpower.

Due to David Olére witnesses and being involved in the extermination, the images painted by him would have been what he had witnessed and experienced at the time. Source B gives us an idea of the horror and misery the Jews who were being gassed went through and an idea of what it would of looked like to see the remains of the dead bodies after they were all murdered. In the corner of Source B you can see a container labeled Zyklon B, this gives the viewer an idea into what extermination phase they were going through at the time that David Olére was there. In sources A, C, and D, it gives us an idea of what horrible jobs the Jews were given at the concentration camps. This can be extremely useful to a historian.

The Road By Cormac McCarthy Cormac McCarthy’s subject in his new novel is as big as it gets: the end of the civilized world, the dying of life on the planet and the spectacle of it all. He has written a visually stunning picture of how it looks at the end to two pilgrims on the road to nowhere. Color in the world — except for fire and blood — exists mainly in memory or dream.

Hydrangeas and wild orchids stand in the forest, sculptured by fire into “ashen effigies” of themselves, waiting for the wind to blow them over into dust.
