Johnny Tremain
Words: 1077 - Pages: 4.... is when Johnny is basically
crippled with one of his hands, and is basically worth nothing, when at one time Johnny was wanted by a lot of masters because he was very
talented with his hands. It really makes you think if you were to lose a
talent how you would feel about it and act upon it, it made me feel
thankful.
Another interesting part of the book was when Johnny went to
look for a job. Johnny was so persistent when trying to find another
apprentice job. He didn’t really care about what kind of job it was he
just wanted a job, he went from place to place trying as hard as he
could to hid his crippled hand. .....

New honours come upon him,
Like our strange garments, cleave not to their mould,
But with the aid of use.
(1.3.144)

Irony In Poe's Writings
Words: 1059 - Pages: 4.... for his
own good. The old man- the victim of the narrator’s madness- is afraid of
burglars and intruders, so he locks his doors and shutters tight. In fact,
his real danger is already inside the house- which is an obvious irony. It
is most ironic that he could have disposed of the body in any other way-
but he chooses to hide it under the floorboards where he will walk over it
every day. His heavy conscience causes him to confess to the police. This
is a great example of his talent with ironies.
“The Cask of Amontillado” is another of Poe’s great works. This
murder took place during the carnival season - a time of happiness .....
