The first conclusion mainly has to do with urban myths about the curse. At the entrance of the tomb was an inscription that was translated and said “Death Shall Come on Swift Wings to Him Who Disturbs the Peace of the King”. The legend says that anyone who opened the king’s tomb will suffer the curse of the mummy. And then begins a set of unfortunate circumstances that affect the men who were the first to enter the tomb. A few of the men became sick, a few others even died.
This event was a result of a Japanese fishing ship sailing into the range of an American hydrogen bombing test site (Roberto). This hydrogen bomb was nearly one thousand times more powerful than the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima, resulting in casualties and economic struggles in the Japanese fishing industry, due to fear of radiation poisoning (Roberto). Japan, caught in the crosshairs of the two superpowers was skeptical that a nuclear devastation was right around the corner. The psychological impacts of this skepticism had profound enough effects on Japanese society that it is clearly reflected in cinema in the following years. “Gojira”, directed by Ishiro Honda, was created in the realm of this era, sending a message to the world regarding the buildup of nuclear arms.
The term "defeated more" refers to the factor which had the greatest impact on Japan, causing them to be drove to a state of devastation and have no other way than surrender unconditionally. The Japanese in WWII were defeated more because of the strengths of the allied powers rather than their weaknesses. One of the factors which lead to Japan's defeat was the strengths of the allied forces. The United States Army Air Forces made use of two atomic bombs on two cities, Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The first atomic bomb exploded in Hiroshima at 0815 on 6 August 1945.
In the story story “A Man Who Had No Eyes” by Mack inlay Kantor, first of all, in a Chemical shop at Westbury a chemical explosion happens and hundred and eight human lives are lost and over fifty people are blinded. “it [is] supposed to be one of the greatest disasters..”(p .2).The explosion is a horrifying accident ; it filled dangerous poisonous gases all over the place. Secondly, some people’s attitudes are affected negatively by the bad experience. Markwardt is self-pitying, pushy, and bitter about the loss of his vision. “You’re damn right I [get] it, while the capitalists [are] making their dough!”(p.2).
John Hersey tells how “granite gravestones three hundred and eighty yards from the center” (5) were fused and completely destroyed. This detail makes the style of this time show that he was on the scene. He also had a first-hand account of what went on with the bombing of Hiroshima. In D.J. Enright’s passage, he states that “tiles melted out of shape and a few fried shoes were dumped on a trestle table” (4).
Donya Augustin Professor Oleszczuk English 2730 2 Dec. 2010 Hersey’s Stand Against Tragic Injustice World War II was a global military conflict that lived through the years 1939 to the year 1945, in which most of the world’s nations were involved. World War II is known as the most widespread war in history. The Second World War is also the deadliest conflict in history as well; casualties were estimated at about fifty million.

Final Draft In the novel To Kill a Mockingbird Harper Lee uses imagery and diction to make the audience view Maycomb as a decrepit and poorly taken care of place. The author does this by using words to paint pictures in your head and using over exaggeration. Harper Lee uses words to paint the picture as Maycomb as an old town. The author does this by saying things such as “In rainy weather the streets turn to red slop” which implies that the streets are old fashion made and aren’t made of concrete like modern streets. Harper Lee also paints the picture of Maycomb as a hot place.
Marquis is dead, but the snuffbox may be used to highlight important objects or people in relation to the Monseigneur. A third aspect of symbolism is the red sunset showering Monseigneur Marquis in red while he's making his way downhill, followed by the furies. The red symbolizes blood, and him going downhill is a premonition of his death. The furies are mythical creatures in Greek mythology which mean that Marquis has done some injustice and they will follow the guilty man, resulting in his death. Furies are closely related to a dagger, which is how the Monseigneur meets his end.
Lowry seems to encapsulate Manchester’s industrial identity. His paintings appear to be faithful recordings of a particular time and geographical space, but many of these paintings were dreamscapes or composite paintings that were nostalgic in their imagining of a great industrial prowess that was fast disappearing after 1913. The perception of Lowry today is complex, but in many ways gives us an insight into how Manchester is represented both consciously and unconsciously. The paradox of Lowry is that while his painting, Piccadilly Circus (Figure 1) reached £5.6 million
Compare the fear and suffering depicted in ‘Out Of The Blue’ and ‘Bayonet Charger’ Out of the Blue, the poem is narrated by a fictional English man caught in the World Trade Center after the terrorist attack on September 11th. The victim describes being in one of the buildings and dictates various emotions, they have observations they make in one of the ‘burning buildings’. All the techniques used in the poem emphasis how helpless the victims of the attack would feel. The recurring theme of death intrigues the reader more and the helpless victim has only one chance to ‘escape’ the situation… death. This also emphasis the strong essence of fear in the poem as it strikes fear upon the reader knowing that this could have happened to them!
