Eric and Mr. Birling in Act III At the end of Act II of An Inspector Calls, the inspector asks Mrs. Birling what should be done with the culprit, to which she replies he should be severely dealt with, only for Eric to walk in at that moment, which is when the scene ends. Priestly uses a variety of literary techniques to build tension, some of which include, Eric bursting in just as we find out that he is the father of Eva’s baby. This is made even more gripping because of how Mrs. Birling had emphasized the extent of the punishment the father should receive. Also the use of stage directions makes the audiences sympathize with the characters, Eric miserably asks for a drink and Mr. Birling explosively says ‘No!’ Lastly, Priestley’s main technique for building suspense is interrogating each member of the family in turn. This builds anticipation, as we are eager to find out what will happen in each family members interview and how it will affect the inspector’s final actions.
The acting in this movie was brilliant, and the three main heroes of this story are Ponyboy played by Thomas Howell, Johnny played by Ralph Macchio, and Dally played by Matt Dillon. Ponyboy’s role in The Outsiders was great and the film portrayed his character very well. For example, in the fountain scene, his emotions and body language expressed a lot of worry, and it was very believable. Thomas Howell also did very well in the scene where Darry hits Pony, and he runs away. This scene was especially realistic, again
Romeo and Juliet LESSONS WITHIN THE PLAY Ryan Tomlinson Mrs. Bryans December 21, 2012 ENG2D Romeo and Juliet There are many lessons that are taught throughout Shakespeare’s play Romeo and Juliet.

This tension has been building up throughout the play with Cassie hinting that Michael was not such a perfect husband as Marie believes. She tells Marie earlier; ‘sure he was hardly ever here when he was alive.’ Throughout scene four, Munro makes Cassie’s dialogue and hints more direct and blunt; ‘not much perfect about him’. She talks about men going with women for sex and claims ‘they’re all the same’ and says specifically about Michael, ‘all the times he made a fool of you to your face and making a fool of you with all those women.’ The climax finally occurs when Cassie’s hinting stops and she confesses the sordid truth.

All of this gives me the idea that she is hiding something because the passage from page three shows how she saw Nancy bleeding out with Grace Kerchiet than she doesn’t tell Dr. Jordan this; she tells him something completely different. I would thing if you’re innocent you would just tell Dr. Jordan everything and not try to twist everything alike Grace does the whole story. On page 398 and those few pages when she is under hypnosis; I also holds strong to prove that she is guilty. I think on this passage when she tells Dr. Jordan that she was taken over by Mary Whitney, her friend’s spirit. I think this is just something she is trying to do to make them think so if she is guilty she can plead insanity if she would need to.
This was obviously his main motive for all the murders and to justify all of his actions he uses the throne. He feels he needs it. At first he borrows Lady Macbeth's emotions but in the end they become his emotions. All he does in the whole novel are govern by passion and passion is one of the scariest things there are. So in the end the audience knows, or should realize, that all good Literature uses the character's emotions to evoke the audience's emotion.
So many say that Lord Capulet was the cause for the young loves’ deaths, it is obvious throughout the play that the real cause is none other than the nurse. Yes, Capulet did treat Juliet like property to be sold, but that was how the time was and every father did that. The nurse used Juliet for selfish reasons and a makeshift social ladder. Advice is something that will sway the resolves of others, one must be sure they have the correct advice to
