In the excerpt, “from The Tell-Tale Heart”, Edgar Allen Poe creates the Disturbed and fearful character of an unnamed narrator through indirect characterization. Using the components of internal thoughts, actions/gestures/movements, and character motivation, Poe depicts a story about paranoia and reveals that sometimes, the harder you try to convince yourself you’re going to be fine, the more you are going to freak yourself out. This is shown as the narrator's panic builds as the story goes on.

As a simply written novel with an incredibly complex theme, Things Fall Apart gives readers a touch of cultural shock which manages to leave them unwilling to return home after the last page.

Later in Cultures and Imperialism, the

Achebe uses Okonkwo’s relationship with his father to show how one person can affect a person their whole life. Okonkwo’s father, Unoka, did not give Okonkwo the start in life that most of the young tribesman do, and all of the village looked down upon him. In one instance Unoka had gone to consult the Oracle of the Hills and the caves about his meager harvest during the year. As he began his story the Oracle interrupts him and declares that “You, Unoka, are known in all the clan for the weakness
