Reflections of Edgar Allan Poe's Life in "The Masque of the Red Death" In the year 1842, Edgar Allan Poe wrote "The Masque of the Red Death." “Personal tragedy was, unfortunately, a recurring theme throughout Edgar Allan Poe’s life.” (Mondragon 1997) At the time this short story was written, Poe was experiencing another life-changing event which is clearly visible within the story. His wife, Virginia, showed her first sign of consumption, known in today’s society as Tuberculosis, and Poe knew her death was inevitable. "The Masque of the Red Death" in many ways, is riddled with references to her tuberculosis. "At a supper party in January of 1842, Virginia was playing the harp when she suddenly caught her breath and coughed violently, then blood spouted from her mouth, staining her white dress."
The story deals with AIDS, love, secrets and the ghosts of the past. I found out that Helen is really Maria Elena or Nena and she is Diego’s sister.

And then there is my favorite character in the book, Lizzie.

In “A Rose for Emily” Faulkner uses foreshadowing, imagery and symbolism to depict how the small southern town’s mentality and a dominating father drive Emily to insanity and murder. Using foreshadowing Faulkner creates a mysterious story and gives us a strong description about death and the struggle of the main character for a better life. We see foreshadowing at the beginning of the story when Emily refuses to give her father’s buddy to be buried (289) .The best idea of foreshadowing is the poison. Emily goes to the drug store to purchase poison; the druggist asks her what she is going to use it for (291). In response “Miss.
Loa 1 Ruben Loa Jr. Dr. Masliamony English 1302-W12 17 March 2013 Cold-Blooded In the short story, Never Marry a Mexican by Sandra Cisneros, it is obvious to the reader that Cisneros has a corrupt mind and finds pleasure in being part of an affair with a married man and then involving herself with his son during his high schools years. As it states in the story, “I was taking you in that time.” (185) Cisneros is talking about the son, Drew, as she relates back to her past when “all I know is I was sleeping with your father…” (84) But she places emphasizes on the ‘you’ signifying now that she is more interested in sleeping around with the younger version of the man she once loved which happens to his son, Drew. As we go deeper into the context at hand, the reader can understand that Cisneros is not your typical women as she says “I’m guilty of having caused deliberate pain to other women.” And then stating that she is “capable of anything.” (79) Now I will go into detail in describing Cisneros and her actions and what made her make so many odd decisions. I believe I can relate to some of her deliberate procedures sense so many of it came from the pain during her adolescence years.
