When Soldiers Fall Asleep Analysis
1. I think this story would be an urban mystery or a fairytale story

2. The father of the twelve daughters wants too find out how the girls are escaping the locked room at night and going dancing. So he tells men if they can solve the mystery they may marry a daughter of their choosing.

3. Rising action of the story I think would be the begging of the first night where on of the son's try and figure out where the princesses go at night after they're locked away. the men are taken into the chamber where the women sleep and are supposed to stay awake and see how it happens but the eldest gives the men a glass of wine that makes them fall asleep.

The climax of the story would be the night the old soldier tries his luck with the girls. He was given a cloak by a woman in the woods that allows him to become invisible during the night to follow the girls. he doesn't drink the wine and fakes sleeping until time for them to sneak out. He follows them and brings back evidence of their night and shows the daughters father.

the first night he kept the findings a secret but then the next night he took the twigs and golden cup to the father and let him know how the girls managed to go dancing and escape the locked room.

The denouement of the story would be the end where the father confronts the daughters. The girls confess to what the soldier had said and now the father has allowed him to marry one of the twelve daughters. The soldier picked the oldest daughter.

4. I think there is several protagonist. The twelve daughters and maybe the soldier. and I think the father would be the antagonist because he kills men if they do not find where the women go at

    “Hunters in the Snow” by Tobias Wolff starts out Tub waiting for his friends to pick him up. The suspense starts with rising action by his friends being over an hour late. I chose “Hunters in the Snow to be the more suspense than “The Cask of the Amontillado.” Hunters keeps the reader on edge by displaying three different personalities. Confrontation due to human nature. The reader may question whether they are going to show up at all. This is an example of rising action. When Frank and Kenny show up they most run over Tub. Frank and Kenny both team up against Tub. The friends are going hunting together and with the two against the other one it builds suspense of what will happen in the woods. While hunting, Kenny lets out he has a secret with Frank, Tub wants to know what the secret is. Kenny is obnoxious and dangerous with the rifle. He shoots the pole for no reason other than hating it, then he shoots the dog, and then aims the gun at Tub. This is leading to climax of the story. The reader may wonder if Tub is going to die at this point in the story and his friends leave him there to be found, or is Tub going to defend himself and shoot Kenny. Could Frank and Tub leave wounded Kenny or bury him? This is another rising action in the climax. The three friends tell the owner of the land that the dog has been shot. This is another example of suspense will the owner kill them for killing the dog or will he let them go? Kenny hasn’t told his friends the owner had asked him to shoot the dog, is how…

Individuals who are exposed to wars, accidents, or crime, the chances are that he/she may experience (PTSD) based on his/her personality. One psychologist by the name of Inge Bramsen, did a study with 572 men, to see how personality might be a causal factor. Reports made from some men that had seen high numbers of events that were stressful like shootings or dead people; had the most severe symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder. While other men who had high rates on personality traits for example negativism and paranoia before being deployed, developed post-traumatic stress later.…

    F. Scott Fitzgerald’s novel, This Side of Paradise, was his first book that he published that sparked his stardom in the world of authorship. Thomas Jefferson once said,” If you find yourself constantly trying to prove your worth to someone, you have already forgotten your value.” Life is quite a journey. There are numerous things that will forgo in life that will cause people to change their thinking or beliefs. The friends’ people hang out with, their hobbies, interests, schools and universities they attend. They are all part of the equation in finding your identity and your purpose in life. For Amory Blaine, it started all the way back from his childhood when his mother was raising him. After that came the countless, un-meaningful relationships,…

    3. The physical description of the three girls seems like the exposition of the story because the rest of it follows them through the store and relates Sammy’s thoughts about them. The carefully detailed portrait of Queenie, the leader of the three girls, is of great value to the story. Queenie seems like a typical proud teenage girl, and she serves to further characterize Sammy. The fact that he quits his job just so this girl will notice him transforms him into a susceptible young man.…

    Zachary Scott-Singley wrote an essay called “A Soldiers Thoughts”. His essay was based on his inner thoughts and questions, how he should and shouldn’t feel about war. Is war right or wrong? Are these people truly the enemy? What would you do to stay alive? I feel war leaves these questions open to discussion and defiantly can change based on the person and the involvement; but the work of war can change a person’s values and morals.…

    Gene Heyman is a psychologist associated with Harvard University, who wrote the book, Addiction: A Disorder of Choice, said, “The first people to call addiction a disease were members of the 17th-century clergy. They were looking at alcoholism and they didn't describe it as sin or as crime. (Gillis, Charlie).” Heyman has a theory as to why society thinks this way; we can not understand why people would voluntarily cause themselves harm. We simply don’t understand why they wouldn’t stop and because scientists, doctors, and psychologists can’t explain voluntary self-destructive behavior, they deem it a disorder or disease. In an interview, Heyman stated, “In the medical world, in economics, in psychology and in the clergy, they really have no category for this, no way of…
