It seems the Madame was found with her neck so ravaged, her head just fell off when moved. Her daughter cruelly contorted and shoved up a

The library was the crown jewel of the house. It was at the center, and occupied both floors with a cherry wood spiral staircase connecting both the floors. It also had a great balcony off the second floor that overlooked the whole estate, and her parents hosted a multitude of social gatherings with “important, respectable people” whose names Essily couldn’t be bothered to remember. Every wall of the library was covered with bookshelves that were either filled with books, or various souvenirs her parents had acquired through the years, such as a large globe or a painting of some idyllic city. It was all lit by an enormous chandelier.Waiting at one of the tables in the center of the library was her tutor, Mr. Smith, and her

Their own houses also got burned down if they were caught with books in their homes. A house burning is a circus sideshow to people because they watch the houses burn in the night and it gives them a show to watch, while the people who own the house are struggling. There are people who don’t build so instead they must burn if they won’t build. The environment can be described in fire terms because in this society its all about the fire. Faber tells Montag 3 things that were missing: 1. quality of information, 2. leisure to digest it, 3. the right to carry out actions based on what we learn from the interaction from the first 2. Montag enters the house and eats dinner and Mildred’s friends are there. He sees in the parlor walls that Mt. Vesuvius is exploding and the girls are screaming. He had made a mistake by showing Mildred's friends that he had a book. Faber gave him orders through the radio transmitter to burn the book, to convince the ladies that he was playing a joke on them. Montag gets nervous for his meeting with Beatty, even though he has Faber's help. Beatty tries to coax Montag into admitting that he reads books. The fire alarm goes off and they rush to the house of the crime. Montag realizes that the salamander stopped at his

This story begins to drive the sense of emotion with the very surroundings in which it takes place. The author starts the story by setting the scene with describing an apartment as poor, urban, and gloomy. With that description alone, readers can begin to feel pity for the family’s misfortune. After the apartments sad portrayal is displayed, the author intrigues the reader even further by explaining the family’s living arrangements. For example, the author states “It was their third apartment since the start of the war; they had

Lastly, throughout the story there are hints that Vera may be a trouble maker. In paragraph eight, Vera shows some interest that Franton doesn’t know anyone or anything about the people in that town. As soon as Vera finds out that he knows nothing, she begins to create the story of the open window. Also, in paragraph sixteen, Vera’s aunt says, “I hope Vera has been amusing you?”, so this also gives a hint that she might be up to something. This is an example of dramatic irony, because the reader knows about the window and Franton does not.

As the readers understand that the women then find the proof (being the canary and the birdcage) in the kitchen. In this manner, the point in time of the setting sets up all the activity for the upcoming characters in the play. Overall, the author discusses the activities within the play adversely with the gender- specific beliefs along with the mood/perspective. Alongside the time of the play, another component of the play is the season. Trifles takes place in the cold weathers of winter. In the play the sheriff says, “SITE”. Also mentioned, “SITE”. Glaspell cautiously expressed the setting to help distinguish the emotions of the characters in the play. It’s stated that, “SITE”. The destroyed containers/ bottles is in comparison with Mrs. Wrights mindset. The mentioning of “cold” suggests that Mr. Wrights attendance creeped in the house. The isolation that was brought about generated absolute burdens on Mrs. Wright. As mentioned in the play, Mrs. Wright, “SITE”. Which is represented by the damaged containers. All of which sums up the emotional place that Mrs. Wright is

Several months more pass, and soon Anne begins to have terrible nightmares. She wakes Mr. Dussel very often. She dreams that the Nazis come to take them. In the works of the nightmares, she hurts her mother’s feelings by rejecting her comfort. Anne will only talk to her father about it. It truly

I predict that next the Baudelaires will go to look for the sugar bowl, and while they are doing that they will try to hide and escape the attention of Dewey’s death. To begin with, one of the first things that I predict will happen is that the Baudelaires will hide in the hotel and will try to escape the attention of Dewey’s death. In the first place, the public and visitors in the hotel went crazy after the death of Dewey, and they are looking for the Baudelaires or any other people who might have been involved in the death. The hotel was quite chaotic and everyone was talking about who might have killed him. If they do not decide to hide or run away they will most likely get caught. During all of the chaos someone shouted, “We’d better hurry downstairs, before they escape” (Snicket 242). This shows that a mob of people have already started a search party to find the killer. From this it can be inferred that the Baudelaires might leave the hotel or hide somewhere so they will not get caught. The Baudelaires were apart of the death of Dewey Denouement, so the hotel guest will most likely find them sooner or later. In addition, the Baudelaires might hide because Count Olaf has finally found them in the hotel, and he will want to catch them. If they do not find a place to hide or disguise sooner or later Count Olaf is bound to find them. Count Olaf is constantly trying to kidnap the Baudelaires, and is trying to get their family fortune. Now that he knows where they are it can be inferred that he is definitely going after them. Especially now, the Baudelaires most likely know that Count Olaf is after them because he knows where they are, so they will most likely hide and try to get away from him. Furthermore, the Baudelaires might decide to hide or run away because a suspicious man came up to them and asked if they needed a taxi. This could be a quick getaway from the hotel and the attention of the murder.

Some of the French say they weren’t aware of the Roundup (though living across the street from the stinking stadium), some admit to a vague awareness but “What could you do?” But some are courageous in their opposition to inhumanity. Sarah and her co-escapee find their way to the rural home of a couple with grandchildren Sarah's age, the Dufaures, who at first try to “avoid trouble” but then take them in and bravely brazen it out with the police in order to call in a physician to attend the other little girl who is, however, beyond saving. And -- since Sarah is unstoppable in her attempt to get back to her little brother -- the Dufaures accompany her to Paris, risking their own arrest, in a great train scene in which the police share their compartment and the conductor comes looking for everybody’s transit papers. And what happens when Sarah gets back to the old apartment and the locked wardrobe … ?

I am reading I Hunt Killers by Barry Lyga, and I am on page 285. This book is about a person named Jazz, who is the son of the world’s most infamous serial killer. There is a copycat who goes by the name of “The Impressionist”. Who is going around Lobo’s Nod and copying Billy Dent’s killings. In this journal I will be evaluating the character Howie Gertson.

Monsieur Villefort is too late upon arriving at home to stop his wife from killing not only herself, but also their young son Edouard. The Villefort family is the last family that will suffer from suicide at the hand of the

Gustave Palourde, a secondary character in The Extraordinary Journey of the Fakir Who Got Trapped in an Ikea Wardrobe, by Romain Puértolas, is extremely vindictive. He goes to extreme lengths to take revenge on Ajatashatru, especially considering the latter had only stolen €100. Let down by the police, Gustave decided to call on his extended family to deliver justice. In reality, Gustave desires blood, “when he came face to face with the Indian [he stared] at him with a desperate desire to kill him” (126).

As a curious modern subject, he investigates the city around him, both accepting and criticizing the government’s treatment of citizens. H.F shows distrust and fear of those potentially infected. However, he also displays compassion and empathy for those who are shut up or forced to roam the streets to survive. In his descriptions, H.F capitalizes on the sensory experiences of those imprisoned and tries to express the psychological pain they endured. He writes, “I come back to the Case of Families infected, and shut up by the Magistrates; the Misery of those Families is not to be express’d, and it was generally in such Houses that we heard the most dismal Shrieks and Out-cries of the poor People terrified, and even frightened to Death, by the Sight of the Condition of their dearest Relations, and by the Terror of being imprisoned as they were.” (49) Despite his belief that it is wise to quarantine the infected, H.F demonstrates an understanding of the opposition against it. Interestingly, he dislikes the practice not only because it is harmful, but also because it is ineffective. Conveying the difficult job of the watchmen, he cites a number of instances in which people used trickery to conceal their illnesses or violence as a means of escape. These people often ran madly through the streets, potentially spreading the plague

Bradley’s humorous narrative style is evident from the very beginning when he says that the most crushing blow for Flavia was to learn that her favorite Buff-Orpington hen Esmeralda was cooked for her ill father. The author adds “Love is love, wherever you may find it, even if it’s covered in feathers,” thereby dissolving the tense atmosphere of the novel (Bradley 17). Moreover, its comical how the author presents Flavia’s bicycle Gladys as an important character in the story by giving it a name and endowing with human qualities. It becomes evident in the following short excerpt, saying that “Gladys was waiting patiently where I had left her, as I knew she would be, although she was now wearing, on her seat, a dunce’s cap of snow”(Bradley
