Different forces push characters in stories to behave as per them. This idea is well illustrated in Will F. Jenkins’ “The Night Drive.” The fear, suspicion and revenge of Madge and Mr. Tabor are some of the ways that they were driven by the same force, hence pushing them into action during their night travel through treacherous darkness. When Mr. Tabor asks Madge to take his niece Eunice with her, she offers him her service out of duty and a sense of fellowship at the start. Her knowledge about what lies ahead if she does not act with caution, coupled with preserving self-esteem, prompts her actions throughout the journey. For example, Madge’s anxiety deepens when she remembers how Mrs. Tabor died mysteriously one day: "Madge's heart was pounding...it …show more content…
Tabor’s determination to catch the criminal and prevent any further mishaps plays a significant role in shaping his character throughout the story. I’m Eunice. I was afraid you wouldn’t recognize me," he said as an example of his decision to dress up like his niece on their way, which he undertook with Madge. This instance shows how Mr. Tabor had cunningly planned and deceived Madge in order to insinuate himself into her journey because of revenge thirst, which necessitated arresting the person who caused his wife’s death. Consequently, both characters are compelled by instinct towards survival and justice; these forces determine their actions as they drive through the dark, dangerous night. They have similar objectives, hence, leading to a horrible suspense climax that confronts the lurking dangers of nightfall). The disclosure of “Eunice’s” mysterious conduct or spine-chilling revelations during their travel adds more fear and suspicion: “Madge’s heart sank... it wasn’t the face but the eyes.” This means that both characters’ instincts for life are posed with challenge in the form of unknownness, thereby adding depth to their motivations before finally reaching their climax.In The Night Drive, fear, suspicion, and the desire for revenge propel Madge and Mr. Tabor forward, shaping their actions and decisions as they navigate the treacherous journey
Night Drive is a short story by the famous author, Will F. Jenkins. This suspenseful short story is about a woman, Madge, who has to drive at night to go get her husband from work. However, Mr. Tabor calls Madge to see if she could bring his niece with her. Madge has no problem to give Eunice, Mr. Tabor’s niece, a drive. On the other hand, this was a bit odd because Mr. Tabor's voice was a bit strange on the phone; also, Mr. Tabor’s wife was murdered on this very same road… The author creates a
From reading the “Night Drive” by Wil. F. Jenkins and putting the details in the test together I have came to conclusion that Mr.Tabor did commit a crime. One reason of why I believe Mr.Tabor committed a crime was when he started to show that he know where Madge was driving because he was supposedly a “Stranger” to this area. In the text he says “We’re near the turnoff ”(W. Jenkins pg. 2), and he mentions where the girl was killed, how long she was dead before she was found, he explained how the
Why do the characters in the story “The Night Drive” act as they do? In “The Night Drive” by Will F. Jenkins, the way characters behave is due to the forces motivating them. To support my thesis, here's an example from the story. “One thing’s certain,” she said, trying to smile, “nobody could make me stop to pick them up on this road!” This is an example of motive. She’s taking in the backstory of the road and realizing that she is in a dangerous situation. She’s forced to not stop or else something
There’s nothing like being scared… in a book. As Edgar Allen Poe once said “Words have no power to impress the mind without the exquisite horror of their reality.” Horror stories are some of the best` stories because one just can’t find that certain kind of exciting thrill in any other writing. The Goosebumps written series, written by R.L Stine, are a great source of thrill. I like that the series is a little creepy at times but not really scary because the feeling of being a little scared is good
help show this thematic idea is a common connection across these four texts. One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest directed by Milos Forman is a film that shows us the suicide of a young patient Billy Bibbit, the events before this death are what in fact drives young Billy to suicide. The events leading to Billy’s suicide is where Nurse Ratched proceeds to say what would Billy’s mother think of him and how ashamed

Grunge In the isolated city of Seattle during the mid 1980's a new sound and attitude was developing. Although it didn't yet have a coined term it would later become know as Grunge, "originally a tounge-in cheek term for the pungent guitar noise propagated by the cultish independent label Sub Pop" ("Grunge"). This mix of 70's metal and early 80's punk blasted into mainstream America and brought the hard rock sound of the 70's back to life, but the sudden, unexpected and to some unwanted, fame
