Pg. 177 The excellent exterior acoustics recorded his rushing steps and the quick rapping of his cane along the corridor and on the first steps of the marble stairway. Then these separate sounds collided into the general tumult of his body falling clumsily down the white marble stairs. This shows that Phineas was so angered that he rushed into the hallway and fell down the stairs. If Brinker had not set this whole confessional up this would have never happened.…

There are many memories that may come to mind when the word adolescence is spoken. Some people recall times of enjoyable, innocent adventures, but for others the phrase “teenage years” holds horrific memories. For a section of the populace their “teen experiences” may be the most appalling time period, as they begin to undergo many changes.

Forensic science is the uses scientific knowledge to solve legal and criminal investigations by collecting evidence from the crime scene. There are two main parameters that can be used to identify the individual in this case, namely forensic odontology and forensic anthropology. Forensic anthropology identifies human remains especially bones as they could locate and recover suspicious remains to help determine the age, sex, ancestry, stature and features of a decedent from the skeleton.

As soon as information such as the race, age and gender are obtained by anthropologists, the artist glues pieces of plastic to the skull at 18-26 key points by using tissue thickness sample charts to identify the victim from the face.…
Imagine having your father leave your family and your mother die at the age of twelve. Imagine after all of that, spend years studying in the Caribbean alone and finally being sent to America. That is what happened to Alexander Hamilton. All of that time he spent reading and writing helped him in the future.

Because of all the time he spent studying, Hamilton became very smart and rose up in power and was chosen to be a New…

With these detailed notes, we researched various skulls and matched them with the data we have, therefore leaving us with eight indentified skulls. This report will thoroughly discuss what we believe each skull is and why we think so.…

Litotes are used by authors for multiple reasons: deliberate confusion, humorous irony, understatement, exposing biases, emphasis, or measured twists used to make the reader read deeper and work out what is really being said. For Fitzgerald the device helps to portray tone and mood with connections to different themes and symbols as well. In the beginning, by understating the sinister characteristics of the Eggs Fitzgerald is able to develop an ominous tone that entices the reader to read on. Near the middle he establishes more on setting with the description of Gatsby’s house, strengthening the question of his mysterious existence. In addition, the end features a look into Nick’s character with the use of an understatement. Litotes help to…

*All page numbers listed first are for the paperback, Scribner books.* *All page numbers listed second are for the hardcover blue/gray books.* Chapter 1 ―Whenever you feel like criticizing anyone, just remember that all the people in this world haven‘t had the advantages that you‘ve had‖ (1, 1). ―In consequence, I‘m inclined to reserve all judgments, a habit that has opened up many curious natures to me and also made me the victim of not a few veteran bores…Reserving judgments is a matter of infinite hope. I am still a little afraid of missing something if I forget that, as my father snobbishly suggested, and I snobbishly repeat, a sense of the fundamental decencies is parceled out unequally at birth‖ (1-2, 1). ―All right…I‘m glad it‘s a girl. And I hope she‘ll be a fool – that‘s the best thing a girl can be in this world, a beautiful little fool‖ (17, 17). ―He stretched out his arms toward the dark water in a curious way, and, far as I was from him, I could have sworn he was trembling. Involuntarily I glanced seaward – and distinguished nothing except a single green light, minute and far way, that might have been the end of a dock‖ (21, 21-22). Chapter 2 ―This is a valley of ashes – a fantastic farm where ashes grow like wheat into ridges and hills and grotesque gardens; where ashes take the forms of houses and chimneys and rising smoke and, finally, with a transcendent effort, of men who move dimly and already crumbling through the powdery air…the ash-gray men swarm up with leaden spades and stir up an impenetrable cloud‖ (23, 23). ―But above the gray land and the spasms of bleak dust which drift endlessly over it, you perceive, after a moment, the eyes of Doctor T.

Next and finally, I will write how the language, structure and mood/atmosphere contribute to the reading of the text, and the understanding of the protagonist, and how they characterise him. Page 147, “and” is used a lot, and the story becomes annoying to read. The start of the story is messy, there is no structure and that is annoying to read, page 140. The conversation on page 150 is written in small sentences, which creates suspense and makes the reader want to know more.…
