I tried to peer in his room to see what happened but he came bursting out of his somehow out of breath. “Hier, here!” he cried and tossed a tub of cream to me. Completely covered in faded German words. “Uh, thank you, danke shin?” I retreated back into our room and him to his. I opened the door and was surprised to see Phoebe not on the bed, but the floor.
Drewe uses reoccurring symbols to reinforce the themes of impending danger and creates a sinister atmosphere. It can be seen throughout the memoir of Drewes life; he has always had a fascination with sharks, and writes how as a child he even captured a carpet shark as a sign of strength in an attempt to impress his love interest, Roberta. The title of the novel ‘The Shark Net’ suggests the literal idea of a shark net that in theory are used to keep sharks at bay but in reality is a poor response to the dangers of sharks themselves as they don't help much and can only provide a false sense of security. The shark can also be seen as a metaphor of Cooke, an unseen killer, who is ever present searching and waiting for its next prey, instilling fear by his reputation and his perceptible vagueness, being like a shark. He is a friendly/familiar face to everyone, but then when he murders his victims he becomes unfamiliar to most.
In The 'Burbs, Hanks uses the same excuse to investigate the home of his creepy neighbors. How Tom Hanks lets a room full of adults know that he has to pee. And in the art-house movie Road to Perdition, he uses his overactive bladder as a spidey-sense when he escapes a hit man by excusing himself to take a whiz. OK, this is still The 'Burbs. The footage of Hanks grabbing his penis in Road to Perdition wasn't nearly as funny.
However, snakes represent sinister forces, foreshadowing the next “unfortunate event”, which was Uncle Monty’s death. In the rest of the film, many aspects can be considered “eccentric”. For example, Aunt Josephine’s seaside home perching on the edge of the cliff and her extreme paranoid behaviors such as fear of her house burning down if she used heat to cook, instead she fed the children with cold lemon soup. The “odd” characters are somehow very imaginative. The sets in the movie are excellent, very dramatic with a Gothic like appearance.
“We’ll get a new washing machine.” I reached for the newspaper then I realized that this too would never work. It was too risky. I’d probably get a hernia trying to haul the old one to the curb. Or, worse, the lid could bounce open, exposing the dead mouse to my line of vision. I scanned the kitchen for potential mouse removal tools.
These predators are cold blooded animals which explains why they are located in the at the shallow part of the ocean where their is hardly sun. great white sharks extinct because of humans are killing this species because of their vicious attacks against us.

Michel Mouckomey Period 1 The Rattler Essay “The Rattler” describes the encounter of a man and a rattle snake in a desolate desert shortly after sunset. The two main characters that are the only characters in this situation, each must decide how to approach one another. Although the man would be considered in the snake’s boundaries, he chooses to take the snake’s life for the sake of people at the ranch. The reader soon distinguishes the good intentions of the man as breaking boundaries or survival of the fittest. Through descriptions of the chivalrous snake, the conflicted man and the twilit setting, the author creates sympathy for the rattler and feelings of anger, pity, and disappointment for the man.
Just as she put the poison away, her husband staggered into the room. "Why the hell are you making cookies in the morning, Savannah ?" He asked, his voice still slurred. "I just wanted you to make you something special." She said, shaking slightly as he stepped behind her.
Anthony G. Perez Assignment 1 Fear of Snakes I have always been afraid of snakes. Just looking or thinking about them makes me feel so Uneasy, on edge and my skin begins to curl. I think this is maybe due to the depiction of snakes being portrayed as dangerous and evil. To me a snake is a snake and it doesn’t matter how big, small, are the color, and or if they are poisonous are not. They still scare the living hell out of me.
Too bad!” everybody said. “Mr. Plumbean will have to paint his house again.” “I suppose I will,” said Mr. Plumbean. But he didn’t paint his house right away. He looked at the big orange splot for a long time then he went about his business.
