What Is The Theme Of The Story The Witness

Though Beard is retelling Werner’s story, she does not do so through the first person. It is told through the eyes of a narrator, who knows more about the situation than Werner himself, at the time. For example, the narrator knows the cause of the fire and the fact that Werner will never be the same, “old Werner” (Werner 21). This extra knowledge engages the reader more with the story. On the other hand, even though the narrator knows more contextual details, they still provide insight into what Werner is feeling, as he is coping with the reality of being physically pushed “forward into something new and unfamiliar” (Werner 13).

We have to do with the past only as we can make it useful to the present and the future- Frederick Douglass.

Daisy puts up with her husband’s infidelity because of the benefits he provides, his background, his “old money”, and his reputation. When I talk to Daisy she’s always quite cheerful and peppy, but there are moments when I see how sad and lonely she is, “'All right,' I said, 'I'm glad it's a girl. And I hope she'll be a fool – that's the best thing a girl can be in this world, a beautiful little fool… you see I think everything’s terrible anyhow… I’ve been everywhere and seen everything.” (17) In a society corrupted by greed and scandal, the best thing that one can hope for is to be too stupid to realize what’s actually going on and therefore not get hurt.

*Who is the narrator of this story? What special insight does that provide the reader? What would you understand differently if the narrator had been another character?

Morals and virtues are the basic principles of living a happy life. But those alone can not satisfy the human desire of wanting something bigger and better. The evilness within Daisy creates a cycle of problems that she can’t escape. Daisy’s greed and corruption leads her to take shortcuts and break the principles of a human being by cheating on her husband, neglecting her daughter, and betraying Gatsby.

The past, the present and the future all have one similarity: time. The past can either be one’s burden or blessing. The present takes into account how one’s past affects the choices they make that will inevitably affect the future. The future is the product of the past and the present along with the sense and image of the future. These three timely qualities are present in the quote, “We are all serving a life-sentence in the dungeon of self”, by Cyril Connolly. The “life-sentence” is caused by the past, the “serving” is the present, and the “self” is the future of who someone is. Along with the quote, the past, present, and future are thoroughly established The Crucible by Arthur Miller as well through a sin, a choice, and a name. I agree

Now I feel that the thief is getting what he deserves. When they leave the thief standing in the road “the boy” becomes extremely upset, “And They set out along south with the boy crying and looking back at the nude and saltlike creature standing there in the road shivering and hugging himself.” “Oh Papa, he sobbed.”(McCarthy 258). I am now starting to feel the compassion the boy has towards the thief “He was hungry, Papa.” “He’s going to die.”(McCarthy 259). They finally take the thief’s clothes back and pile them in the middle of the road and I am glad of this. Later as they were lying down at camp I believe the man was starting to feel guilty, and he spoke “I wasnt going to kill him, he said.” “But the boy didnt answer.” “They rolled themselves in the blankets and lay there in the dark.” “He could tell the boy was awake and after a while the boy said: but we did kill him.”(McCarthy 260). When “the boy” made this comment I felt deep remorse and disgust in myself for having felt so harshly toward the thief in the beginning. I also felt happiness and relief in this story when “the man” and “the boy” found the underground shelter behind the house in the field, I felt as if I was there with them discovering the grand riches this den held! “Oh my God, he whispered.” “Oh my God.” “What is it

After the murder of the old man, the narrator cuts his limbs apart and stuffs him underneath the floorboards. While suffocating the old man, a noise is made and is heard by the neighbors. So the next thing that is heard by the narrator is the knocking on the door by the police. The narrator plays it cool and invites them and even takes them to the room in which the old man was under. He is perfectly content with them and makes small talk until the narrator notices a pounding sound. The narrator hears a beating that 's growing louder by the second, convinced that the officers can hear it as well, he confesses to the murder of the old man. Perfectly depicting the guilty conscious of the narrator, and thus proving that a guilty conscious will always overpower.

As I read this short story in the beginning, the gist of what I have captured the narrator writing is whether the man with a strange habit does really exist or not. Or, if he did exist who was the man that was hitting the narrator in the story on the head without stopping. It sticks in my mind wondering who the strange man was to the narrator. Somehow, despite the agony of trying to understand the motive underlies the story; I was at first wondering what was the strange man had gone through

Every year in the United States millions of Americans go without taking their prescribed medications. This is not because they simply do not wish to take their medications or they forget their daily doses but rather something more heartbreaking. A multi-billion-dollar company won’t allow these Americans to take their medications. In this case the company has not recalled the medications or sent out representatives to retrieve the medications from these individuals. You may ask yourself why these people are going without their medications if there is no risk involved. Well the reason is that these pharmaceutical companies raise their prices

The narrator of “The Tell Tale Heart” is unreliable because he exaggerates many of the “sane” actions he performed. The narrator boasts to the audience how, “[he]

“What grieved me so much was not the thing itself as the lying. There is nothing so shameful as to be placed under a cloud on account of a lie.”
