Miller argues that the human obsession with collecting garbage spiraled into a catalyst on the dismal day of nine eleven. Nine eleven, a day which remains forever embedded into the hearts, souls, and minds of humanity across the globe. This trepidation remains branded into the minds of all who witnessed that day in which the unthinkable crime was committed against humanity. Falling bodies doused with inescapable fire of doom jumping from the heavenly towers of hell. Fingers being recovered by cleanup crews through the ash remains of the terror.
On another occasion as Staples rushed into an office of a magazine with a story that was on a deadline in hand when he was caught by security as he moved toward someone that knew him. States didn’t fare as bad as another black male who was in Waukegan, Illinois who was doing a story about a murder and was mistaken for the killer. The only thing that saved him from being booked was his press pass. Now when Staples goes for walks he takes precautions to make himself less threatening. He does this by giving space to nervous people who are waiting on subway platforms, also by whistling tunes of classical music such as Beethoven.
2. “The conch broke and exploded into a thousand white fragments.”(181)This quote shows the symbol of order and peace and harmony. The breaking of the conch signifies the death of these values, chaos and disorder takes over. 3. “Piggy’s arms and legs twitched like a pig when it has been killed” (181) the quote shows the death of Piggy as the death of an animal as well as the loss of an innocence.
– I can see a strange, provoking, formless sort of figure, that seems to skulk about behind that sill and conspicuous front design” (749). Eventually this leads to the narrator beginning to obsess with the wallpaper. She states, “I’m getting really fond of the room in spite of the wallpaper. Perhaps because of the wallpaper” (750). The narrator begins to have thoughts of homicide because of the wallpaper and its smell.
Under the threat of death, residents were forced to leave their towns and cities. Regardless of their physical condition, the ill, disabled, old and very young were evacuated as well. There were no exceptions. People who refused to leave were killed including were those who did not leave fast enough, who would not obey orders.

Henry is Olive’s support system as well as her polar opposite, his kindness drives her crazy but at the same time keeps her level headed. He is madly in love with Olive, which is shown by his present conversations with her and past reflections. Strout’s time shifts are seamless, and naturally free flowing. For example, “Autumn now, November, and so many years later that when Henry runs a comb through his hair on this Sunday morning, he has to pluck some strands of gray from the black plastic teathe before slipping the comb back into his pocket.” Stroud uses complex, descriptive sentences to give vivid details. Personally, I enjoyed Stroud’s description of Olive in “A Little Burst” during her son Christopher’s wedding.
The Germans had no tolerance for any of them and stripped them of their belongings and put them to work immediately. There were many camps at this time, but one of the largest and most famous camps was Auschwitz. (Wood) The camps had one main focus, to kill the Jews. The Nazis chose genocide as the answer to the “Jewish question.” The largest Nazi concentration camp, Auschwitz, was a labor camp where the Nazis put the prisoners to work until their death. The Nazis used Auschwitz as a killing center
The Great Gatsby – Chapter 2 What aspects of the scene, setting, plot, characterisation, dialogue and language/imagery show the dire situation of the poorer people in the novel (George and Myrtle) and, by contrast, the arrogance and lack of morality of the rich ( Tom Buchanan)? From the opening of chapter two, the scene is set in the Valley of Ashes. It’s slum-like properties are in stark contrast to the two affluent areas of West Egg and New York that surround. Here, the land and everything on it is covered in the ashes deposited there by the industry of the cities; it is a ‘fantastic farm where ashes grow like wheat into ridges and hills’. Fitzgerald represents poverty as lying beneath wealth and providing the rich with a dumping ground, a piece of between their worlds that has collapsed into decadence.
How is the beginning of Chapter Two in ‘The Great Gatsby’ similar to T.S. Eliot’s ‘The Wasteland and what effects does this have? In ‘The Great Gatsby’, by F. Scott Fitzgerald, chapter two begins with Nick describing a wasteland known as ‘the valley of ashes’, an area between West Egg and New York that completely lacks colour and is simply distinguished by ‘grey’, bleak dust. It is a fatalistic, graphic description in the book, each building, car, and person, seems to be covered with a layer of ‘grey ash’. Symbolically, this waste represents the lack of ethics of the 1920's society and civilization's decay.
Indeed despite Hawthorne telling us to laugh at and ridicule the ugly Hepzibah, she displays a far greater sense of good and a much more complex character than Phoebe. In Chapter 9, we see a deep love of Hepzibah for her brother Clifford and a willingness to care for and show him devotion. However, when she tries to read his favorite stories he rebuffs her because of her looks and
