3.05 Fascination with Fear Part A The theme I developed from Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Premature Burial” is Man must ignore the darker possibilities in life in order to survive. Examples from the text include the narrators experience he told about in the story. He awoke to the smell of dirt, nothing but darkness, the feeling of wood all around him, and silence of a sea that overwhelms. Since he cannot open the coffin he thinks he is in, he realizes that he must have fallen under an attack catalepsy in the presence of people who knew not of his condition. He screams, then to be shaken by four people, making him realize he is really in the tiny sleeping berths of a ship.
The Pit and the Pendulum is a thrilling work by Edgar Allen Poe. It truly lives out the fear that is portrayed. Many years after it was written a movie was made which was very similar. Although the movie was based on the book there were many differences and add-ons that were not in the original, but also there are some similarities. In both the movie, as well as the book, a man is forced into a chamber and tortured.
You are not going to lock yourself in a room like this ok?” Willy laughed, promised Biff that everything would be alright. Biff walked into the room, lied on the bed as he told Willy he failed his math test, and how he couldn’t get enough credits to graduate because of that. Willy on the other hand seems unfocused, for everything Biff said, he either nodded his head or said something short, hold his hands together on his laps, as if he is about to be interrogated. Biff found it unusual, in his memory every time he told Willy something about his scores; Willy would say a hell lot of things, about how he was always popular. As Biff was thinking, a sudden laughter interrupted him, it was a woman, and it was from the bathroom.

Although Hackett has only been dead for one day, the narrator lies and says he has been dead for two or three, in an attempt to explain the smells. The narrator and Thompson attempt to move the box of guns, but it is too heavy. Through a series of misguided attempts by Thompson to mask the smell with various chemicals and other items, the smell gets so bad that the narrator and Thompson decide to spend the rest of the trip outside the train on the express car's platform. As a result, the narrator becomes sick with typhoid fever, which proves fatal two years later when he is telling the tale. A similar fate is
Here we will discuss accidental and suicidal asphyxiation as well as strangulation. Accidental asphyxiation can be as simple as being locked in a room and running out of oxygen. Like when children get accidentally locked in a refrigerator, likewise, you could have an individual commit suicide by locking themselves in a refrigerator. It is basically anything that obstructs the oxygen flow that can be explained away as accidental. A man was found to have died of accidental asphyxiation after trying to lower himself by rope alongside an office building with the intent of creating graffiti art without “any special rope repelling equipment on, climbing equipment or anything like that” ("Graffiti artist found," 2013).

The prisoner who finds him brings him
One evening while at home after observing that the laboratory and my masters quarters were empty I stayed awake waiting for him. I was stirred for a moment by a noise coming form the back door. I rushed to see if my master was using the back entrance and came face to face with who I knew must be Mr. Hyde. Pure evil was this man that stood before me. Evil like none I had ever seen before, it seem almost to seep right out of his pores.
Francis LaFlesche recalls the punishment he and a friend received for running away from school: 65 66 67 68 69 It was thought best to punish us; so Warren was taken to the top of the house and locked up in the attic, where he was to reflect upon the wrong he had committed in running away. But I am quite sure he thought more about the devils and the ghosts in that horrid place than of anything else. As for me, I was marched to the dining-room, placed with my back to one of the posts, and my arms brought around it and tied; then I was left alone in this uncomfortable position, to repent. 70 T he idea of corporal punishment, so foreign to traditional Indian cultures, b ecame a way of life for those students returning from their educational experience. Yet you find by the 30s and 40s in most Native communities, where large numbers of young people had, in the previous years, attended boarding schools, an increasing number of parents who utilized corporal punishment in the raising of their children, so that although
