.... blade, Pepe’s black hair, and the black jerky. Another example may be found when Pepé puts on his fathers black coat, which represents death. When Pepé puts on the coat he is literally covering himself with death. Another fine example is the trail in which Pepé travels. Steinbeck describes the path as a well-worn black path. By traveling on this path he is in fact taking the road of death. Furthermore Pepé's appearance also helps foreshadow the ending. Steinbeck describes him as having a black hat that covers his black thatched hair. Pepé is also described as being dark, lean and tall. Another example is Pepé's shack. The shack is .....

.... works well with its explicit detail and the realization it brings to Henry about just how real the war is. This also brings about a great feeling of loneliness, which is one of the many stages that Henry goes through during the story. Henry feels isolated by his cowardly actions. Trying to justify his act of running, he compares himself to a squirrel that ran from an acorn that he had just thrown. By saying that it was just because of the natural inclination of self-preservation, Henry makes himself feel a little better, but there is still that element of unclarity that he faces. That element however will be a Godsend to Henry, be .....

.... Sunday is race day. This is what all the training and days of practice are for. Depending on the track, whether it be a short tack, speedway, or superspeedway, the drivers adjust and prepare for the 3 hour drive of 500 miles at 150-200 mph. Superspeedways are driver favorites. Superspeedways are oval tracks that are 2 miles long or more. Drivers perfer these tracks because they don’t have to turn the wheel as much, press the brake as much, and the day is over quicker. 2 superspeedways...Talledega and Daytona, require cars to have a restrictor plate.

.... story. I did this essay on this particular story because I enjoy Poe as well as his dark side. I don't really seem like the kind of person who likes the gloomy and melancholy aspects of writing but appearances are deceitful. The main deceitful appearance in the story is the dreaded house. (University of Texas) Poe uses life-like characteristics of an otherwise decaying house as a device for giving the house a supernatural atmosphere. At the beginning you can sense that the supernatural characteristics are present. Upon entrance the narrator sees inside the house as well as the peculiar behavior that dwells inside of it. The narrator seems to .....

In Chaucer’s descriptive General Prologue of the character’s, the Pardoner is described in very unflattering terms. Chaucer states that he “had hair as yellow as wax....Hung down thinly…But sparsely it lay, by shreds here and there” (Hopper, 343). Also, described in the General Prologue the Pardoner is described as a “gelding or a mare” (Hopper, 44), the Pardoner is presented as apparently lacking the male sexual organs that would “allow him to assume a straightforward gender i .....
