On page six Swede says, “This place has an evil name amongst seafaring men, sir- don’t you feel anything?” This shows that the rumors Swede heard came from people he trusted, and they must have some truth in them because Swede has a reputation to be unshakable and tough. Swede also claimed that he felt something in the air that spooked
In the first place, the author used sinister language to paint Skidmore as a suspicious person, competent of murdering his brother. "He always wore a black overcoat and hats that were
To see the wind, with a man his eyes, it is unpossible, the nature of it is so fine, and subtle; yet this experience of the wind had I once myself, and that was in the great snow that fell four years ago: I rode in the highway betwixt Topcliff-upon-Swale, and Borowe Bridge, the way being somewhat trodden afore, by wayfaring men.
YORK – After an 8-0 shutout win over Peru State Sunday, the York university Panthers softball group couldn’t preserve the confident momentum rolling Wednesday as it dropped a two-recreation residence sequence to the Bethany (Kan.) tuition Swedes at Miller Park.
"There was no breeze. The sea was as flat as a plate-glass window. We were drawing near the island then. What I felt was a-a mental chill; a sort of sudden dread." (Connell 2).
“So they were trying to re-invent themselves and their universe... Science fiction was a big help.” (Chapter 4)
Throughout the book, the author has many mishaps, but in the end she is able to gain an insightful view into the culture of this small Danish community. The reader learns that through misfortunes that you share with others, you can gain their trust and friendship. She also teaches the reader the meaning of important anthropological terms by outlining a specific term in each chapter. Overall, the best part of the book is the point that even if an aspiring anthropologist struggles in the field, with enthusiasm and an inquiring mind, they can still learn a lot and accomplish great
Finally looking at them he stared and slowly placed the paper at the top of his cluttered desk, turning to the two men and sighed the first words, "More of this madness.” Gazing out the window he continued, “For months this town has been unsettled and upset because of these damn requests and these damn ships. Were you present yesterday at the fight at the waterfront?” They shook their head no. “Over the most unbelievable thing,” he shook his head as if scolding school boys. “It seems that one of the sailors, a questionable man he must be, to go on this voyage and perhaps with a bit too much drink in him, told your Captain that,” here the shop keeper played the part of a drunk, “Aye, the 'La Gallega' was a most awkward ship for such a voyage!”
Didion describes the Pacific as “ominously glossy” and mentions the “eerie absence of surf”. The use of the words ‘ominous’ and ‘eerie’ set a frightening mood. The people respond to the uneasy environment the winds create. The author’s neighbor “roamed the place with a machete”, claiming he “heard a trespasser” one night and “the next a rattlesnake.” Uneasy due to the threat of the winds, the man carries around a weapon and begins acting in a strange manner. The atmosphere of the winds, which the author describes through her diction, causes an odd change of behavior in
Although this helps to add to the eerie feel of the story, it is to be expected. Another line that appeals to the emotions is, “THUMP, THUMP. The loud noise happened again, and a small scream escaped her mouth… THUMP, there it goes again, somebody is up there! (Castle of Spirits, 14)” This is the point in the story where the action is just starting to build up and make you want to read more. Lines like these are those thrill-seeking points that make you want to read more and find out what happens next. This urban legend has a good appeal to pathos and makes you want to keep reading it until the very end.

The narrator did at the beginning of the story suggested that he was not reliable, because his words were somehow self-contradictory, and he seemed to be mentally disturbed, if not tortured. He described his experience as "the most wild” and "the most homely", so he "neither expect nor solicit belief", for his "very senses reject their own evidence”, but he was pretty sure he was not mad and that he did not dream. The two adjectives he used to describe his experience are contradictory, thus putting readers at sea. Then he explained that he did not expect readers to believe his story because he himself did not believe it either. Yet he denied the possibility that his narration was unreliable by claiming that he was neither mad nor dreaming.
This is clearly exaggeration because there is no doubt that the small poor town could not afford such lavish gifts. Pedro saying that the pain in his groin had reached his throat and how he could not sleep for eleven months are signs of magical realism. The narrator said that he believed him when he said these things.
Fictionalized accounts of historical events often provide valuable information that may improve overall understanding of human history. Things Fall Apart, and The Mission are works that are different because they focus on different areas and periods, but they explore similar themes such as colonialism and Christian missions. The primary argument is that Okonkwo and Rodrigo Mendoza are similar because they focused on masculinity and tried to fight for oppressed people, but Mendoza’s will is much stronger because he was able to find hope thanks to the Jesuits.
