The men took the seeds and went off searching for the highest peak. It took weeks, finally they 60 had it, when they reached the peak they could see the entire island. They dug a hole and planted the seeds in. They waited eight years for the tree to grow full size, the men could see the tree from the bottom of the island. They took a long hike up the mountain to retrieve the leafs for Odysseus.
Waiting to die, Chase became a feared presence in prison; the other inmates (including several gang members), aware of the graphic and bizarre nature of his crimes, feared him, and according to prison officials, they often tried to convince Chase to commit suicide, too fearful to get close enough to him to kill him themselves. Chase also granted a series of interviews with Robert Ressler, during which he spoke of his fears of Nazis and UFOs, claiming that although he had killed, it was not his fault; he had been forced to kill to keep himself alive, which he believed any person would do. He asked Ressler to give him access to a radar gun, with which he could apprehend the Nazi UFOs, so that the Nazis could stand trial for the murders. He also handed Ressler a large amount of macaroni and cheese which he had been hoarding in his pants pockets, believing that the prison officials were in league with the Nazis and attempting
Quotation: “Like one man, they stiffened, choked and fell. The cups clattered to the floor” (page 24) Explanation: The procedure of killing the men was painful and startling. Given no explanation to why they were required to die, the men would only think of treachery and abandon from the Lieutenant-Commander. Premise #2: On the other hand, the decision Lieutenant Captain Oram made was the only available option, and he took the burden of being responsible for the deaths of fifteen men. 1.
Giovanni’s power of mind- ability to use words and convincing arguments to get what he wants. Power is present in Chaucer’s The Wife of Bath and Ford’s ‘Tis Pity She’s a Whore throughout, especially in relationships between male and female characters. Particularly in The Wife of Bath where the pardoner interrupts the Wife’s tale, it presents the power the male character attempts to have over the female character. Medieval pardoners work for the church, collecting money from those sorry for their sins, which is now seen as a rather corrupt job to have held at the time; which perhaps shows that Chaucer wanted the pardoner’s interruption of the female’s tale, and consequent swift dismissal of his interruption, to be seen as a stupid and corrupt male mistakenly attempting to overpower the strong independent women. Similarly, in ‘Tis Pity She’s a Whore, the male character Giovanni asserts his power over Annabella, but Ford does this in the opposite way that Chaucer did.
This man is killing his neighbours for their land!” Giles Corey had stated this in court. Earlier in the story, it is also shown that Giles Corey and Putnam are not on good terms, due to an argument over ownership of a certain piece of land, which Putnam declared that “I’ll (he’ll) have my (his) men on...Corey! I’ll (He’ll) clap a writ on you (him)!” In the end, Giles’ died an unfortunate death, which may or may not have been due to Putnam’s accusation, but has successfully prevented his property from being auctioned out and potentially ended up as Putnam’s, due to his silence and not answering the “indictment, aye or nay.”. Although Putnam’s main motive was to get more land, this somewhat shows the small triumph of good over evil as Giles', even though eventually died,

Before Dimmesdale kills himself, he admits his sin to the whole town. Also, Dimmesdale receives treatment from Hester’s husband, Chillingworth, who knows their secret, and is trying to get revenge on them both. Chillingworth ends up realizing that he is going insane with trying to get revenge and believes that he has sinned more than both of them. The novel The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne uses satire to poke fun of the Puritan attitude toward sinning and the punishments of sinning. The reader learns from the text that the Puritan religion looked down on the idea of sin and punishes sinners harshly.
If death wasn't personified (depicted as though it were a person) in this way, what could you say about the quest these roisterers are embarking upon? What connection is the Pardoner trying to make between their sinful lifestyle and their quest? Now these three roiste rers, whereof I tell, Long before prime was rung by any bell, 200 Were sitting in a tavern for to drink; And as they sat they heard a small bell clink Before a corpse being carried to his grave; Whereat one of them called unto his knave: Go run, said he, and ask them civilly 205 What corpse it is that's just now passing by, And see that you report the man's name well. "Sir," said the boy, "it needs not that they tell. I learned it, ere you came here, full two hours; He was, by gad, an old comrade of yours; 210 And he was slain, all suddenly, last night, When drunk, as he sat on his bench upright; An unseen thief, called Death, came stalking by, Who hereabouts makes all the people die, And with his spear he clove his heart in two 215 And went his way and made no more ado.
Everything is Not What it Seems Part 1 (Theme): Deception Deception seems to occur on every page of the Summoning of Everyman, printed by John Skot. The play begins with God informing us that Everyman has deceived him by living his life loving riches instead of worshipping and acknowledging the Lord. God sends Death to summon Everyman to his reckoning, and Death informs him that he can bring along whoever or whatever he sees beneficial to him. After Everyman learns this, he begs several people in his life to join him on his journey. They all agree until they find out that Everyman will not be returning.
The Wanton Cynic in The Merchant's Tale The Merchant's Prologue and Tale presents the darkest side of Chaucer's discussion on marriage. Playing off both the satire of the moral philosopher, the Clerk, and the marital stage set by the Wyf of Bathe, the Merchant comes forth with his angry disgust about his own marital fate. Disillusioned and depraved, the Merchant crafts a tale with a main character who parallels his own prevarication and blind reductionism while he simultaneously tries to validate his own wanton life by selling his belief to the other pilgrims. As both pervert reality through pecuniary evaluations on different levels, however, both are exposed to be blind fools, subject to the very forces that they exert on others. As this reversal happens and the Merchant satirizes Januarie blindness, Chaucer reveals the Merchant's blindness, giving him the very significance that he had spent his whole tale trying to deny.
