Dead letter office

story takes place: the office on Wall Street. The office doesn’t have a view of outside; at one end is a view of “the white wall of the interior of a spacious sky-light shaft,” (2) and at the other is a “lofty brick wall” (2). The office is surrounded by the two walls, creating an atmosphere of confinement. This illustrates how trapped the narrator feels by Bartleby’s presence; he no longer wants him in his office but doesn’t have the heart to force him to leave. The office itself is also described

the police office or the newspaper company telling them who was killing next but not when. Jack The Ripper was a man of pattern and rountie. His killings were all almost alike and his victims had profiles that matched each other’s. Jack had five victims, who were all women; the women had a couple things in common, all but one of the women were in their 40s, they were all drinkers, and most of the five women were known to be in the business of prostitution. All five victims were found dead in poorly

By 1692, British postal systems began emerging in the colonies (Colonial). Through systematic delivery messages were transported between people across the colonies. This postal system was beneficial to both British and Americans. Altogether, these systems were a prime method of transporting messages when colonists

Scrivener”, the narrator is on the hunt for a new copyist in his office. From what we can tell of our narrator, he is an unambitious, vanilla fellow but still has an air of condescension about him. He always thinks that he knows what is best for his employees, although in actuality, he knows very little. Enter Bartleby: the “incurably forlorn” and “sedate” answer to his prayers (330). Bartleby is a quiet man who gains employment at the law office of our narrator. Overall, he seemed to be a good worker who

Jewish, and Italian gangs. Each gang had their own style. For example: there was the Dead Rabbits gang. They were known for attacking regular civilians in broad daylight. They got their name by the unforgettable dead rabbits they carried on sticks while beating people up. There was also the Italian Mafia. They were recognized by the "Black Hand." The "Black Hand" was a letter with a black hand print on it. The letter would simply ask for money. Every Italian knew that if you refused to pay, it would

him. He also thought the Union wasn’t broken because the states can’t secede. On December 20th, 1860 South Carolina seceded and six other states followed right after, starting with Mississippi. This all happened before Lincoln was in office. He came into office having to fix all of this. His first accomplishment of the Civil War is arguably his greatest. The war began in 1961 and ended in 1965, a month after he was assassinated. It started when South Carolina attacked Fort Sumter. This war

Meanwhile, there I was, a Surveyor of the Revenue and, so far as I have been able to understand, as good a The Scarlet Letter 42 of 394 Surveyor as need be. A man of thought, fancy, and sensibility (had he ten times the Surveyor’s proportion of those qualities), may, at any time, be a man of affairs, if he will only choose to give himself the trouble. My fellowofficers,

time period are still being discussed because of their relatability to modern societal problems. Of the many Romantic writers, Nathaniel Hawthorne and Herman Melville effectively explain the negative effects of society on individuals. In The Scarlet Letter, Nathaniel Hawthorne narrates a Romantic story of a young woman in the Puritan Era who is convicted of adultery and has to face being a social outcast. On the other hand, in “Bartleby, the Scrivener” Herman Melville examines the story of Bartleby

Shakespeare uses the assassination of Caesar to develop ways to show the complexity of Brutus and his character throughout the play. He cannot justify, to his own satisfaction, the murder of a man who is a friend and who has not misused the powers of his office. Consequently, thinking of the assassination in terms of a ritual instead of a murder makes it more acceptable to him. Unfortunately for Brutus, he misunderstands the citizens of Rome. In William Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar, Brutus is naive, because
