.... the sound of his watch ticking was driving him insane. Soon enough he was thinking of ways to escape, which ran through his mind, but were not acted out. He knew if he could just get his hands untied, and the noose off of his neck he could dive into the water. By diving he would be able to dodge the bullets that the soldiers would shoot at him, but he would have to swim very fast. Once he swam to shore he would be safe and go home. Part II tells all about how Farquhar got himself into the trouble he was in. It all started when a solider dressed in gray came to his house asking for a drink of water since he was a member of the .....

.... them closer together. The relationship’s of the character’s in the story After the Sirens were greatly affect by the setting and plot as shown by the above evidence. In the short story Penny in the Dust the penny was what the relationship of the father and the son was based on. When the son lost the penny it was like he was losing his father’s respect. The setting has much to do with the story because now a penny is nothing, we find them all the time but back then it was a big deal when your dad gave you a penny. It has to be hot or else the boy couldn’t lose his penny in the dust. The father’s dying is very important to .....

.... the long severe old-fashioned white dress she wore which brought the sense of a past that was still alive in our bustling present and in the snatch of white at her eye; the darkness in her black high-top shoes and in her face which was visible now that she was closer (349)". In this description, Marshall creates a vivid imagery for the reader. As simple as Da-Duh's attire and appearance was, it was just as complex. The whiteness and purity of her dress gives the reader a sense of the "good old days" when life was simple and pure, when children played with yo-yo's and bottle caps, and everything just made a little more sense. The b .....

.... we have an urge for. Life is short, and time passes by quickly; so as every minute passes we should make the best out of it. In the movie the teacher Mr. Keating tells the students that the Dead Poets met in order to suck the marrow out of life. We have to do everything that is possible in order to suck the marrow out of life, as long as we are making wise decisions. To me conformity means to do what others are doing. In other words if you conform to something, you are just going along to that thing you are conforming to. I think conforming can be good at times, especially if you are trying to adapt yourself into a new env .....

.... character in the book. Each of them had their strong points and weak points for example Grant was always running away from his problems. There were a lot of things in his life that he could not handle and he just wanted to run away. He didn’t know what to do about Jefferson at first and wondered why he had to teach him. He didn’t really know how to handle his job as teacher in the Quarter. He couldn’t make his mind up about God so he just decided to leave it alone. Aunt Emma was a very strong character in the book. She would do almost anything to help Jefferson before he died. She begged to the Guidry’s on severa .....

.... and another being a clever, reational interpretation of unsensible phenomena (52). Although the narrator tries to view everything he sees in a rational manner, upon seeing the house and its surroundings, he has a heightened sense of superstition. He goes on to say that, "about the whole mansion and domain there hung an atmosphere peculiar to themselves and their immediate vicinity" (Perkins, 1513). This statement indicates that perhaps the house does indeed have supernatural characteristics and that something of an exterordinary sense is actually holding the house intact. Upon entering the house, the narrator becomes increasingly .....

.... to, in the middle of things, so that means Homer began his books in the middle of what was happening. The Iliad is set in the final year of the Trojan War. Ittells of an episode in the trojen war, the wrath of Archilles and its tragic consequences, including the deaths of Patroclus and Hector. The Odyssey, beginning ten years after the fall of Troy, tells of Odysseus’s wanderings on his way home to Ithaca, of his wife and son's plight, and of their reunion. The atmosphere of adventure and fate contrasts with the heavier tone and tragic grandeur of the Iliad. There are many adventures in the book as Odyss .....

.... across a newly waxed dance floor. Yet it is not only the crystal clear water that contributes to the beauty of the scene. The variety of boats that harbor in the bays and ports around Lake Michigan also add to the excitement of a normal day on the lake. The powerboats roar a story of freedom. Everyday, flocks of speedboats propel themselves across the waves flattening the wakes of previous boats and flying limitlessly across the water, skimming the tops of the waves, gaining more and more speed in an endless dance of acceleration. Further out, other motorboats can be seen drifting across the lake being tossed up and down at .....

.... naked and dance around. By now the governor has entered the scene. The maidens see him and recognize him. They all frantically run away, except two. One is screaming because of what she has seen. She claims to not be able to move. The other one is holding her staring off into an endless gaze. Aside from the audio and visual points, there are various camera angles used. When everyone is circled around the boiling pot the camera man uses a stedicam shot to circle around and show everyone’s face. When the viewer is seeing a girl take off her clothes the camera technician uses a zoom shot. This holds true when the go .....
