“Where is she?” George thought to himself. He tiptoed up the large spiral staircase.The man looked in every room. In every room there were fancy wall papers, and a lot of fancy accessories on the shelf. As George walked around the house snatching everything he can fit in his pocket.The man stepped in the bedroom. There was nothing but pills and jewelry on the bed. He walked cautiously around the bed. They're she was on the ground. DEAD. She had a bottle of pills in her hand. “She overdosed,” George said aloud. He looked around the room and he saw a piece of paper on the night stand. It was a note. It said “Dear Mr.Stevenson I was trying to call you all day but I never got An answer. But i did here a horrible plot. They were planning

    Shel Silverstein wrote a children’s book that can be perceived through multiple critical lenses, from historical to feminist to psychological. In the Giving Tree he uses personification, metaphor, and allusions to depict the psychological impact of growing up with someone who was different than him but whom he shared a special bond with.

 Silverstein begins by using personification to describe the tree's constant giving and dedication. Throughout the life of the tree, she ultimately sacrifices and gives everything she has to the boy symbolizing both compassion and love. She continues this pattern throughout her entire life and his entire life which is why Silverstein may have portrayed her as a woman. Throughout history women have been…

    Chapter Nine is a turning point in the plot of Ian McEwan's Enduring Love. In the former chapters, Joe and Clarissa witness a ballooning accident in which a man dies. This event is an emotional shock for both of them. On that day, they meet Jed Parry, a Christian fanatic. The same night, he phones Joe saying “I love you”, but Joe, too scared of Parry and of worrying Clarissa hangs up and says that it is a wrong number (p. 37). Few days after, Joe confesses about it to Clarissa, adding that Parry had been following him at the library, but she reproaches him not telling her before and does not seem to believe in the stalking, and thinks he imagined the whole thing. Then, the real harassment starts : Parry waits for Joe at the front door, stays there all afternoon and fills Joe's answering machine with 29 messages of “love” (p. 78). When Clarissa comes home, Parry is gone and that is where Chapter Nine begins : she has had a very bad day and just wants to have a bath whereas Joe wants to share what he went through with Parry. What strikes us most is that in this chapter there is a narrative shift from a first person narrative (Joe's point of view) to a third person narrative (Clarissa's point of view). Why did Ian McEwan choose to change the narrative style in this chapter ? Moreover we witness here an argument between Clarissa and Joe and discover that they have very different viewpoints. Why does Clarissa doubt of Joe's tale ? What is Parry's influence on the couple ? What is the real impact of this chapter on the reader ? For this chapter 9, Ian McEwan chooses an omniscient narrator, following both Joe's and Clarissa's thoughts. All from the beginning we have been with Joe, we have heard all his thoughts, as if we were taking his place in the story. If Ian McEwan switches from a first person narrative to a third person narrative, it is to create a distance with Joe. By seeing Clarissa's feelings, we have another point of view, which can maybe be more accurate.…

    As Helena says, "Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind" (1.1.234) whereas in the play, most of the relationships of love is seen with the eyes rather than their minds. The characters don’t realize what reason they are falling in love with and only see what they want to see. William Shakespeare writes and demonstrates the effect of love through the character's eyes in his play A Midsummer Night's Dream. Shakespeare establishes the illusion of love through the relationships between Lysander & Hermia, Demetrius & Helena, and Bottom & Titania.…

    Love is a mysterious journey. Love can either be for the better, or the worse. Love should be the choice of you, yourself, and not forced upon you by others. As the famous quote “Love is not for the faint of heart.” states, love is not an easy thing. You must undergo heartache, failure and rejection in order to succeed with love. This is very prevalent in A Midsummer Night’s Dream in the case of Lysander and Demetrius.…

    Shakespeare was pointing out that love is maddening and that people do very eccentric things for love. In the play A Midsummer night’s dream written by Shakespeare, the characters portray the quote written by John Lennon, ‘All you need is love’ in multiple ways. To some extent the quote is relatable and to some extent it is not. In the play, there is tension between love and law, thus, four lovers escape into the magic forest, while problems arise in the forest between Oberon, the king of fairies, and Titania, the queen of fairies. Oberon’s most trusted servant, Puck (Robin Goodfellow) uses magic juice to play tricks, to entertain his master, by mocking the power of love.…

    He returned to the calm, cold ranch and quietly entered the workers bunkhouse. The men all lay in a deep slumber from the hard days work. George sat down on his damp bunk and stared at Lennies old, deckendant bunk. George was angry, he believed that Curley had defeated his intelligence and won. He turned to the white-washed wall on his bunk and his mind started to project memories of the times him and Lennie had shared in the past. A tear trickled down his cheek as the picture of Lennie face after he had dropped to the floor was replaying over and over again in his mind. He tossed and turned uncomfortably on his bunk going through all the options he had and how he came to the dyer end that it did.…

    I stared out the window, wondering how I was going to break the news to Grahame. When the cab driver turned on to Elizabeth Street I paid and thanked him. “Are you sure that you wouldn’t like me to drop you off at your house miss. It is awfully cold tonight.” I petted my furs. Dianne lived only a block away, well within walking distance. “No, thank you. This will be fine, just, fine. Thank you” I stepped out into the biting cold and walked the remainder of the way to my house. As I opened the door I called in a voice that seemed too sweet to me “Grahame, I’m back from Dianne’s. My furs are just lovely, would you like to see?” As I turned into the parlor, I was shocked and frightened to see him sipping on a tonic whilst sharing a coffee with…
