Another aspect of Romanticism that Tom Sawyer displays is his reason and logic being replaced by unrealistic and fanciful thinking: "Every animal [including rattlesnakes] is grateful for kindness and petting, and they wouldn’t THINK of hurting a person that pets them. Any book will tell you that " (140). Making the connection to Romantic ideals, Mark Twain characterizes Tom Sawyer as not discerning logically, but rather having delusions of grandeur. Through the character of Tom Sawyer, Mark Twain is able to hyperbolize the aspects of Romantic literature that he discerns to be flawed as well as create a foil for the main character, Huckleberry Finn. During the times Tom Sawyer is not present in Huck's life, Huck is able to devise plans in most circumstances even if his plans do stay relatively simple.
This clearly shows that even though Ray is the dominant one in the house, he is not required to do thing pertaining to housework and childcare. In fact, if Ray is asked to do something like that he complains and does everything he can to get out of it. This behavior not only plays into what were expecting of a typical man, but it also shows what we are to expect for a typical woman. Women tend to spend at least fifteen more hours doing housework than men do (309). In the case of Ray's wife, Debbie, she spends all of her day doing housework and taking care of the children, which you never see during the episode.
This also shows Jackie’s position in the family: equal to her children, meaning she has no power within it—she has no role. Her having no authority leaves David to pull the family’s weight because Jackie is not giving the support and protection David cannot give, allowing apertures for whatever harms that may come to pass through
My favorite book is “The Monkey’s Paw” by Edgar Allen Poe. It is a horror story. It is about a family who finds a monkey’s paw. They heard of the legend that says whoever has the monkey’s paw has three wishes, but there is a catch. Every wish is taken literally.
Windows typically bring to mind a specific image: luminescent openings in walls that allow us to look out and allow others to look within. Peyton Place is full of people who fear the exposure of their secrets. However, Metalious uses windows as an opportunity to reveal secrets without directly telling others: windows serve as a way to let others figure out these secrets. When Ted Carter “pictured the hill that he and Selena had looked at, the one where they would build a house that was made up almost entirely of windows,” this reinforces the idea that windows metaphorically equate truth (336). Ted and Selena are thought to be the ideal couple with no secrets between them.
Essay question: How do the writers of “The Monkey’s Paw” and “The Tell-Tale Heart” create an atmosphere of tension, fear, and ultimately horror? This essay will discuss how the writers of “The Monkey’s Paw” and “The Tell-Tale Heart” create an atmosphere of tension, fear, and ultimately, horror. “The Monkey’s Paw” begins with the description of the setting. The weather outside is described as “cold and wet”, which immediately creates tension as bad things often happen in bad weather in stories. In “The Monkey’s Paw”, however, the weather is sunny when the Whites find out about Herbert’s death, but this is a natural event (although there are implications that the paw – something supernatural – has caused it).
For example, while the colony was struggling to merely get enough food to feed themselves, it is decribed as “Under the right conditions, it was a short step from eyeing rats and mice to eyeing the freshly fallen corpses.” (128). It also delivers a generally unbiased theory of the events that transpired in the book. This is very rare for a book of this genre, so this is a distinguishing quality of the book. As a whole, this book was a fascinating read because of its concentration on Jamestown, and its significance to our country. It illustrated how the colonists reacted during both struggling and thriving times,
To satisfy the customer, Zappos never outsourced their call center, which means they do not work from a script. Their telemarketers often suggest customers to order more than one size, because they have free shipping in both directions. They even recommend competitor’s shop when they do not have a product that the customer wants. Zappos also uses a computer system called ‘Genghis’ so that the customers do not have to waste much time. It seems not a good service management skill for the company, but customer can really say ‘wow’ when they get a service from Zappos.
