Huckleberry Finn

2.11.11 The Adventures Of Huckleberry Finn Chapter 11- 43 Analysis Chapter 11 "I reckon I shook like a leaf, and I didn't know hardly what to do." (cite here) The author in this simile uses a leaf to describe Huck?s Fear when his whole little girl charade is a bust. Huck has proven in the novel, due to the fact of mostly growing up in the woods, that he is very ?street smart? which probably gives rise to the fact that he?s so nervous. Not to mention he?s helping a runaway slave; which currently gives him this extreme inner guilt at times. Chapter 13 so we struck for an island, and hid the raft, and sunk the skiff, and turned in and slept like dead people. (cite here)

In “The Tell-Tale Heart by Edgar Allen Poe, the setting mainly takes place in the house of the old man that was murdered. The narrator is telling the police of how he killed the old man. “I dragged him to the floor, and pulled the heavy bed over him….The old man was dead.” This shows how the narrator confessed to murdering the old man as well as what was going through his mind. He didn’t have any feelings of hate or passion against the old man either. He didn’t feel any agony until after killing the old man and he was hearing his heartbeat from under the floor.

Donovan Bridgeforth English IV ? Dual Credit Mrs. Carwile ? 3A 12 October 2010 Comparison and Contrast of the Characters Beowulf and Grendel When we compare and contrast the characters of Beowulf from the epic poem Beowulf and Grendel, of John Gardner?s Grendel, it is revealed that Grendel is more troubled than monstrous. If we compare their search of their life?s fulfillment, their peculiar relationship with Unferth, what defines their lives, and their need of the Danes. The comparison of these aspects will show that Grendel is not as monstrous as he is portrayed, but instead he is more troubled.

Lord of the Flies Plan Sheet v2 Thesis Statement: Throughout William Golding?s Lord of the Flies, the boy?s perceptions and descriptions of the conch change to reflect the struggle between Ralph and Jack, or between the traditional values of civilization and savagery. Paragraph #1: Initially the conch is colorful and vibrant. It possesses a commanding aura which not only gets Ralph elected chief, but also holds some sway over the boys. In color the shell was a deep cream, touched here and there with fading pink. P16 Described as a ?glistening thing? P16 Where?s the man with the trumpet? P20 But there was a stillness about Ralph as he sat that marked him out: there was his size?and most obscurely, yet most powerfully, there was the conch. P22-23
