After Goodman wakes up from his dream his family went to prayer‚ “he scowled and muttered to himself‚ and gazed sternly at his wife‚ and turned away.” (page 9) Goodman stays true to his belief and decides not to side with the evil.

Similarly in “Dr. Heidegger’s Experiment”‚ Dr. Heidegger attitude changes when the guests reveal their greedy

"Ode to an Orange" by Larry Woiwode took place in the winter of 1940s. It was "the winters of the forties" which I felt was very important in setting the background.

Thomas describes sleep as an “unfathomable deep” where all “lose their way.” Keats describes it as an “embalmer of the still midnight.” Despite their similar themes
