Tara believes she divorced her parents, who “love the past, hate the future”, in a “totally rational, intellectual fashion”. The contrast and diction between “love” and “hate” and colloquialism with “totally” accentuates her arrogance. Furthermore, “Tara doesn’t hate her parents. She irritates them, they irritate her”. The caesura and parallelism with “she irritates them, they irritate her” conveys Tara’s emotional sentiment. The rhyme between “hates” and “irritates”, the irony and repetition of “irritate” amplifies her condescension causing the divorce. Moreover, the diction with Tara who “shoves her hands in her pockets” and “slouches against the wall” illustrates an unambiguous image of Tara being uncomfortable, amplifying her ironic statement and austere relationship with her parents. Conversations between Tara and her parents were minimal; she says to her imperturbable dad, “there’s nothing to tell”. The short syntax of Tara’s “automatic” response elicits an awkward, tense atmosphere. Manifestly, Tara’s family visit was another physical and psychological struggle, aggravating her moral dilemma. By implementing contrast, colloquialism, irony, caesura, parallelism, syntax and imagery, Tara’s selfish and arrogant dispositions and estranged relationship with her parents precipitates a protagonist who is relatable and enthralling to an adolescent…
In this paragraph I will show my personal connection to a theme of family-ties in the short story “The Scarlet Ibis” by James Hurst. On a page it says that “He talked so much that we all quit listening to what he said” (Hurst). I connect to this because my brother too is annoying because sometimes he never stops talking. Yet he talks with such an exotic vocabulary whenever he never stops talking. On another page it says “But doodle couldn’t keep up with the plan”(Hurst). I connect to this as well because my youngest brother doesn’t always listen or focus, but sometimes he follows with such…

The pressure of time is crucial in both works, as both narrators race against time to save themselves or others. In the Pit and the Pendulum, the narrator is strapped to a strange contraption, with a deadly pendulum descending towards him. The pendulum is lowering an unhurried rate as it states in the article, "It might have been half an hour, perhaps even an hour, (for in cast my I could take but imperfect note of time) before I again cast my eyes upward. What I then saw confounded and amazed me. The sweep of the pendulum had increased in extent by nearly a yard"(Poe, E. A. Web). Each swing, the narrator is in awe by the motion of the pendulum, that now it is a distraction towards his fear in death, as he explains, "I fancied that I saw it in motion. In an instant…

I believe that the United States gun control laws are way too lax. Guns are available to almost any citizen above the age of 18, with minor or no background checks. “The United States is one of the greatest nations in the world. But compared to our peers, we’re one of the worst when it comes to gun violence.…
