It is better if he calm down and think rationally as chances are he is just probably blowing things out of proportion. I only said that as I was a little intimidated by his behavior but just before a traffic light to his apartment. I ask him whether he wants me to wait for him outside his apartment. Fortunately, he seems to have calm down. Not fidgeting or being anxious anymore, he told me that I am probably right, he probably is just thinking too much as he put his knife back into the parcel and thank me for my advice and paid the cab fare and walked
Poe presents a narrator who is vile and brutal. He is a murderer who is open to admitting this and he believes that he is right in performing this task. Poe is trying to show that when in first person perspective, there may not always be trust or preference of the narrator. Poe has written this story in a form so that the audience feels more sympathy for Fortunato rather than the narrator. He does not give the reason why Montresor wants revenge on this poor man, leaving the option open that the narrator may be simply mad.
The next day they go for a walk and he tells him about how he was lucky at Auschwitz, a polish guard kept him well fed and clothed so that he may learn English from him.

Wintons writing craft captures the raw perceptions of Fat Maz through her own and what she believes to be society's eyes.

Throughout the novel, we read numerous examples of characters of high moral qualities acting nobly in order to benefit someone in need. These actions take many forms: from lying, to taking physical action. Huckleberry Finn, for example, is a spontaneous liar, but as you examine what he says, you see that it is only to keep himself and Jim out of danger. He is not lying to hurt, but to keep the promises he has made. Without his lying, he would have to witness Jim’s capture and return to slavery.
These layers of suspense greatly add in looking into Tom’s head and understanding if Tom can comprehends the peril he put himself into. In the end, Tom brought the entire ordeal upon himself. Had he decided to not be so greedy and selfish, he would have gone out with his wife and enjoyed the night, rather than experiencing one of the most horrific events of his life. Instead, he finds himself on this narrow little ledge, very much regretting the past few decisions he had made. The author does a great job of making this apparent, and chooses to show it through irony, cause and effect, and suspense.
Daniel Nguyen 6-06-11 Period 2 Catcher essay In the book “The Catcher in the Rye”, Holden is a boy that can either be insane or sane by comparing it to the world around him.

When the narrator is the protagonist and tells the story from a personal account it makes the overall impact of the story more vivid. The narrator in this story is mentally challenged and adds to the overall effect of horror by continually stressing that he or she is not mad; He tries to convince us of that fact by how carefully this brutal crime was planned and executed. He begins the story inquiring, "How then am I mad?" and states, "Observe how healthily--how calmly I can tell you the whole story" (Paragraph 1). The narrator tries to prove how sane he really is before the reader has read enough to make any kind of judgment about him.
A Reality Check With the use of symbolism, Aldous Huxley creates a beautiful novel that in essence warns his audience of the future. Huxley’s clever use of symbols in the Brave New World, is often apparent, but just as often, they are deeper and less apparent. With his satirical references to sex, drugs, technology and the naming of his characters, Huxley relates his novel back to his readers and their future. Without recognizing these symbols, the readers could find this novel confusing and ridiculous; but with each symbolic object and person comes a clearer picture of what Huxley us really trying to convey. When reading the Brave New World, the sexual references are often the first things that stand out to the audience.
One example of a quote is “You should see what a state Vince gets into.” He also often uses rhetorical questions for example, the use of the quote “Good ‘eh?” This allows us to be drawn into his way of thinking and we can try to understand and everything he is going through. By him actually speaking to us, it’s almost like he wants us to empathise with him. Second of all, we can all also feel sympathetic for Link because of the way he describes sleeping on the streets in a lot of and really great detail, one example of a quote is “It’s going to be hard and cold.” One other example of a quote is “....in January..... It’s going to be quite a struggle.” Both of these examples allow us to picture Link all alone, trying to keep warm in the cold and dangerous streets. Straight after we read this, we feel sorry for him. Third of all, Link is also shown to be a sympathetic character, because he is often alone in the streets.
