Accelerated English II Quote Analysis In the historical novel, Dead Wake by Erik Larson, the author composes and reveals the lesser known story of the Lusitania, a passenger liner that was traveling to England. However, despite the great pride in the Lusitania’s greatness, she was sunk by a German U-boat, the U-20, on May 7th, 1915. There are many reasons that people believe that the Lusitania was sunk, but Larson seemed to most prominently claim that the Lusitania was intentionally sunk in order to drag America into World War I. These quotes are examples of his claim in the book: “Indeed, these are the great lingering questions of the Lusitania affair: Why, given all the information possessed by the Admiralty about U-20; given the Admiralty’s past willingness to provide escorts to inbound ships or divert them away from trouble; given that the ship carried a vital cargo of rifle ammunition and artillery shells; given that Room 40’s intelligence prompted the obsessive tracking and protection of the HMS Orion; given that U-20 had sunk three vessels in the Lusitania’s path; given Cunard chairman Booth’s panicked Friday morning

Her death signifies that there was void that could not be filled in the “real” reality. She is liberated to another world through her mysterious “death”. Because these deaths are not voluntary, the message sent from Castillo to the reader is not the lengths that these women go through to reach that freedom and liberation, rather, it is that it took an unexpected accident for these women to be removed from an unhappy and unfair life, away from reality, to a new one.

In this quote, the old man explains that the extensive cemetery and various tombstones are false. Firstly, he points out that many of the tombstones that read “Here lies the body of..” have no actual body underneath because the individuals died at sea or in another country. In addition, every tombstone is engraved with the cheesy sentimental sayings that are common on gravestones which portray the people below as angelic, sacred beings. However, as the old man describes, many were far from sacred which increases the tombstone heresy. For instance, one gravestone claims that below lay the beloved son of his widowed mother when in reality, the mother and son hated each other. The old man goes on with his sermon to preach that many of these people were even fake Christians and not actual

THESIS: In Chronicle of a Death Foretold by Gabriel Garcia Marquez, the entire community is implicated in the killing of Santiago Nasar due to society pressuring the twins to kill Santiago Nasar in order to protect their family honour, and the people living in the community not taking any action to prevent the murder from happening when the twins made their intentions clear.

Clara introduces the first prediction of a death in the textual evidence: “Clara announced that there will soon be another death in the del Valle family. ‘But it will be my mistake” (Allende 25). In the text, the death is referring to the death of Rosa, which is the sister of Clara. The textual evidence demonstrates significance due to the fact that Rosa and Clara end up having a similar lover and hobbies, along with a spiritual connection. The prediction of the next death occurs when, “It was almost eight o’clock at night when Ferula appeared without the slightest warning . . .‘Ferula is dead’ (Allende 148-149). The prediction leads to a traumatic shock for Esteban and especially Clara. Clara and Ferula share a sororal bond and a spiritual connection. The news that “Severo and Nivea del Valle died” and the fact that “Clara found out in a dream before anybody else,” (Allende 119) creates a stun, but also can be called obvious due to the fact that the spiritual connection between Emma and her parents is very strong.
