The Tragedy Of The Hall

Everything had began magnificently the day I attended the renaissance fair. It was the first time I’d ever been to any festival of the sort, and the air was full of magic. At exactly 10:30 in the morning, the ceremony began. The King and Queen presented themselves atop the castle’s balcony to address their people. As the beautiful royals welcomed us into their kingdom, my heart beat erratically, and I crossed the threshold with my breath held. There were so many events that I wanted to see, and activities I wanted to try; I couldn’t wait to get inside. I wasn’t just an ordinary guest, however, I had a job to do. Carrying my instrument lightly with one hand, dressed as a princess and feeling important, I walked proudly through the bustling

     One of the central themes underlying the short story, The Fall of the House of Usher, is that of the nature of the house. The way it is described and the way it is so mysterious. Another central theme about this story is the nature of the people that live in the house. They are portrayed very much in the same manner throughout the story. Thus, they have several similarities with each other. All of which are of a bad feeling, showing how bad things are for the people and the house. These similarities are very well laid out in the story and are, I believe, meant to be something to be considered when reading it.

“Loneliness is a common emotion when someone feels alone, separated from others or unsupported and distressed” (Kennedy). A common occurrence of many great authors is to make a theme regarding loneliness or isolation for example, “The Fall of the House of Usher” and “The Yellow Wallpaper”. “The Fall of the House of Usher”, comparatively speaking, is a very challenging read for most, whereas “The Yellow Wallpaper” is more of a relaxed read. There are many differences between “The Fall of the House of Usher” and “The Yellow Wallpaper”, however, there is a common occurrence that links the two, loneliness. Throughout the two short fiction pieces both characters, Roderick Usher from “The Fall of the House of Usher and Jane from “The Yellow Wallpaper”, are isolated from the outside world, both characters have an illness that keeps them in isolation, and both characters in some way turn to a form of literature to pass time . All of these aspects contribute significantly to loneliness.

The saying goes, Politics will be the death of you. But could this actually be a dark secret of Governor Hall’s death?

“ Every bit of terrace, lawn, and railing in the Court of Honor was occupied, the men in black and gray, many of the women in gowns of extravagant hues-violet, scarlet, emerald-and wearing hat with ribbons, springs and feathers” (Larson 238).

Already hearing the Mr.Beaufort raising his voice at Mrs.Struthers asking where the Countess was, Ellen Olenska knocked on the door with compunction. Mrs.Struthers answered the door and was already slightly intoxicated. Mrs.Struthers pushed her in and Ellen was immediately engulfed by the grandeur of Mrs.Struthers’ party. Massive chandeliers hung low from the ceiling, live music surrounded the house, and luxurious food was being enjoyed by Mrs.Struther’s party guests: the Duke and Mr.Beaufort. They offered her a seat and she declined, but Mr.Beaufort was importunate, and so she sat. After Mrs.Struthers’ servants gave Ellen her elegant food and a drink, they immediately plunged into conversation about the social codes and customs of this “close-minded”

In the story “ The Fall of the House of Usher” by Edgar Allan Poe, has an American romanticism with its characters. Edgar Allan Poe is considered a Dark Romanticism because of the way he writes his poems and short stories centered around the concept of evil human nature, darkness, and death. Roderick and Madeline Usher were said to be related during the middle of the story; they were twins. It explained how they were sick, Roderick had a mental disorder and Madeline was physically sick. As the narrator enters the desolate house, he finds both Roderick and his sister in a severe state of depression and they both appear sick like. The narrator tries to make Roderick feel better, but Roderick wouldn’t budge. Roderick thinks that the house is making him sick and making him to appear crazy.

Humans in today's society are very interested in the supernatural. The supernatural can consist of ghosts, vampires, and even the devil. No one really knows if these supernatural things are real, but by reading Edgar Allan Poe’s work, he might just convince you to believe in them. To be specific, in “The Fall of the House of Usher” by Poe many people debate about the presence of supernatural beings. There are five sides to this debate, natural causes, the house and family have a bond, the house is haunted, the Usher family are vampires, and a chance that there is a physiological reason for all of the happenings in the Usher house.

Michael Hall and Elizabet Hall both suffered from the color blindness or color vision deficiency.

The book I read that I want to talk about is Demonglass. Demonglass is the second book from the last book I read Hex Hall. The ending of this book is not satisfying because after Sophie falls in love with the person who was killing her friends he has to leave and she tries to find him once again and fails multiple times. When they do find each other he has a girlfriend and is like a different person and all she could think about is how he tried to kill her. If they find each other then Archer will be killed by the other witches and wizards. If I could rewrite the ending of this book I would have had Sophie and Archer run away together and forget that one is a human and the other is a witch and they would have lived happily ever after instead

As part of the experience, more attentive service is given to the patrons, whereby a waitress and chef is designated for each party.

A research conducted by the National Institute of Mental Health explains, “when the fear response is disproportionate or lasts a lot longer than what is normally expected from the situation - to a point where it interferes with an individual's well-being and daily functioning - it is classed as an anxiety disorder” (Sandoiu). Everyday we encounter new situations that can affect the way we act and how we function. Fear, a natural instinct that could stop people from living their lives to the fullest. However, fear can also protect someone from a harmful situation, such as the consequences of drugs. All people fear what they do not know. The unknown will cause a person to let fear consume him or her as a whole, almost like a virus of the soul. When fear takes over a person’s rational side is thrown out by his or her’s scary imagination causing him or her to feel that their life is unstable. Imagination overcomes reason when our minds are no longer capable of making logical reasons in a certain situation.

A rather snobby-looking man entered the large, bustling banquet room with his nose in the air. Maintaining an air of superiority and indifference, he had hoped to avoid the attention of others as he made his way to his seat at the great banquet table. As he sat in his seat, the ruby pendant that hung low from his long neck clinked against his assortment of golden necklaces. Narrowing his eyes, he carefully scanned the crowd of other attendees and adjusted his fur-laced maroon cloak. These oafs had better get on with it, he thought to himself.

A perfumed musk clings to the room as all sorts of breeds fill the seat lining the hall. Many of the patriots accompanying the rows of seat are clad in rich purples and vibrant greens, and every face appeared to be some form of humanoid, barring a peculiar half-orc, adorned in a red jerking chased with gold, who seemed to enjoy standing rather than sitting like the rest. Down the center of the many seats cut a path of ornate carpet that lead to an elevated centerstage which housed artifacts and tapestries and mysterious objects housed in obscuring containers. The hustle and bustle of the auction house left the room stuffy. Overhead hung an elaborate chandelier with the finest silverwork that coiled and lead to peaks with licking wicks that
