Development of online dating
Yating, Wu 666285
Introduction
Today, people can do many things digitally, and it would appear totally new content and new economic models in this digital age (Negroponte,
Nicholas, 1996). In the decade, the percentage of Internet users escalates every year form 14.1% in 2004 to 40% in 2014, according to
internetlivestats.com. Paralleling with the increasing of internet usage, online dating becomes a popular industry in some counties, and Pew Center
study shows that the percentage of online dating adult user rises to 11% in 2013 from 3% in 2008 in the US (the majority of online dating).
Therefore, online dating is considered to be a new profitable service. Besides, mobile devices, such as smartphones and tablets, become more
prevalent; to achieve digital convergence more online dating websites provided applications which allow users to date online everywhere, and it is
called mobile dating. According to a eMarketer's report, released in 11 June 2014, that American adults spent more time on social network with mobile
devices then with PCs, meaning that the way of doing online activities transferred from desktop to laptop and then to mobile devices.
In this essay, it will mainly cover the online dating's development and business model and its impact. Moreover, what makes online dating prevalent,
and how do people change the way of finding a mate are also worth discussing.

Examples Of TV Dilemmas
TV Dilemmas
There is only a single TV in my house, but two remote controls.
Remote Type A: Fully functional. Buttons capable of changing channels and volume. Belongs to my mother.
Remote Type B: Defunct. Buttons have far long forgotten how to serve their purpose. Belongs to my father.
I remember the arrival of this TV in my house. A fine, summer day, a large cardboard box landed in myparent's room. From behind unfurling gray of
his cigarette puff, my father boasted, "It's a 51 cm color television." It was an upgrade from the old, 13–inch black–and–white television I grew up
watching. With the new TV, I could savor the oranges, blues, and greens ofthe Powerpuff Girls on Cartoon Network and marvel at the murky waters as
the crocodile waded across the Amazon River on National Geographic. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
It has defended against each of my father's onslaught, the deluge of his shoes and the rampant kicks during his drunken stupor. You see, men display
their power based on the number of things they can break. My father prided himself on the number of things he could break: the watch on the walls of
my parent's room, the glasses on the kitchen counter, or my mother's teeth.
The TV in my house could drown out the anger of two screaming adults. It knew how to mask my father's drunken slurs and my mother's silent tears. It
could hide the shrieking wails of two young children.
The TV in my house was also a battlefield as my parents fought over whether to turn it on or off. With only two rooms, one where we could sleep and
the other where we could cook and eat, my parent's room also equals as my study room. As my father blasted the TV's volume, my mother fought to
keep it down. During my tests, my mother hid the only remote that controlled the TV and made sure I could study for my tests in

Impact Of Media On The Media
With the growth of technology, our use of media is greater than ever before. Without media, many of us would have difficulty accomplishing our daily
and nightly routines. Society has become accustomed to using it for our education, work and relationships. But, we almost never stop and question
about the impact that the media can have on younger viewers and our society? In this paper I will focus on the positive and negative roles that media
has played on individuals and how mass media has influenced the criminal justice policy. To begin, some might ask What is mass media? Mass media
is a large form of communication through various sources such as television, radio, telecommunications, newspaper, magazines and the internet.
"Media in its various forms is omnipresent in modern life. It can shape our attitudes, perceptions, and behaviors in a variety of ways. One arena in
which the media can exert a variety of influences is the legal system. The media, psychology, and the law intersect in a wide variety of contexts.
Exposure to media, such as violent video games and pornography, can increase legally relevant behaviors such as aggression and criminal behaviors.
Media can be used to facilitate or engage in criminal activity, such as pedophiles' use of social media to access children and the use of the internet for
cyberbullying." (Groscup, 2015, pg. 314–315) To some extent, media is responsible for contributing negative feelings among individuals that have
been exposed to it. Studies have shown that early exposure to malicious or violent films, books publishing vulgar adult content and news exposing
horrendous social practices has a long–lasting impact on younger viewers. If children are exposed to fight sequences, stunt work, sex and/ or rape
scenes, suicides and murders through the public media, they are bound to leave damage on these young impressionable minds. Children aren't the only
ones subjected to these platforms, adults may also be impacted. Adults may be expected to have the maturity to distinguish between the good and the
bad, but when you bombard yourself with only the bad it can affect one at the subconscious level. "The news media are not mirrors, simply reflecting
events in society...It has been

Since then it has continued to do well in generating high revenue. Statistics show that over 77% of Americans consume some form of coffee
beverage. That overwhelming statistic is indicative of the sales boom of the coffee house sector between 2000 and 2005. During that period the
coffee house sector developed larger and faster than any other sector in the restaurant industry, citing a 157% increase in sales. The coffee house sector

Creative Writing: A Midsummer-Personal Narrative
I keep having this dream, voices echoing a phrase, "what will be will be". Step by step, I stride down the hallway leading from my bedroom towards
the front door. The lights lining the hallway are burning, but reserved in their efforts, and I move more off instinct than clarity of vision. Down the

The Future Is Online for Apparel Retailers
The Future is Online for Apparel Retailers
Euromonitor International 26 October 2011
Coming up with innovative ways to harness the huge potential of the internet is the biggest retail challenge facing the apparel industry over the next
five years. And at the core of the challenge is the need for a fast, efficient and hassle–free returns service.
A tipping point for online apparel retailing
The practice of waiting in line for an available changing room to try on new clothes might one day become a novelty rather than an unavoidable
nuisance as apparel internet retailing enters a dynamic new era of growth. Over the 2005–2010 period, global online sales of clothing and footwear
generated US$32 billion of incremental value, with ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
For example, H&M and Zara posted CAGRs (by US dollar value) of 12.5% and 11.8%, respectively, over the 2005–2010 period. In contrast,
independent apparel specialists have been losing share as their smaller economies of scale are less able to absorb the negative pressures of rapidly
rising commodity costs and higher inflation. Even big–name fast fashion retailers have seen their sales growth run out of steam in a number of
developed markets. As a result, store–based investment in the post–Lehman Brothers operating environment has focused heavily on building stronger
positions in China and other first–tier emerging markets.
Department stores face fierce competition from grocers
Not all chained apparel specialists have performed well over the recent period. For example, apparel companies that run wholesale operations, as well
as their own stores, have been vulnerable to the sluggishness of department stores in developed markets. Esprit and Benetton, notably, have lost market
share ground. And Esprit in particular has been weakened by its overdependence on developed markets.
Although department stores returned to growth globally in 2010, according to Euromonitor International, the format remains vulnerable not only to the
growth of fast fashion chains but also to the growing apparel penetration of leading grocery retailers. For staple apparel items and increasingly for on
trend fashion styles too, the grocery

Dillaway used and apply them to our textbook. In chapter 13 Public Relations and Marketing is the main focus. Marketing is the process of researching,
creating, refining, and promoting a product or service and distributing that product or service to targeted consumers (pg. 402–3). Public relations are the

The ABC ads were bright and humorous and they were a response to the steady decline of network viewership. Since 1990 viewers have been turning
away from the big four networks –– ABC, NBC, CBS and FOX –– and instead watch more cable channels or watch less TV overall. ABC's statement
is that "television" is good; not "ABC" is good.
"A Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll confirms that as the audience splinters, television's powerful grip on the nation's collective psyche is
weakening," reported The Journal on June 27, 1997. "To a large extent, the network's loss has been cable TV's gain–– although some established cable
channels are losing viewers, too."

continue to "further isolate key North Korean entities and disrupt the activities of close to a dozen critical North Korean operatives. We will continue
to use this broad and powerful tool to expose the activities of North Korean government officials and entities."
The White House said the sanctions were "the first aspect of our response" to "North Korea's ongoing provocative, destabilizing, and repressive actions
and policies, particularly its destructive and coercive cyber attack on Sony Pictures Entertainment."
White House spokesman Joshua Earnest said the order authorized the Treasury Department to "impose sanctions on individuals and entities associated
with the Government of North Korea. We take seriously North Korea's attack that aimed to create destructive financial effects on a U.S. company and
to threaten artists and other individuals with the goal of restricting their right to free expression." The White House said there was no evidence that any

The Obligations Of An Eighteenth Century Merchant
So the obligations of an eighteenth century merchant were not only a financial consideration, but a social contract between peers. Those who fell
outside of this social order would quickly find themselves cut off from the other members of their profession. This exclusion from the social fraternity
could effectively end a merchant house, so the majority of merchants observed these social relationships with due diligence. Merchants began business
ventures for a multitude of reasons; travel, adventure, prestige, familial obligations and profit were all motivational factors. With this diverse range of
motivations, such a group could not sustain these newly formed capitalist networks through the principles of profit alone. So it was this social
framework, built on trust not profit motive that constructed the initial trade networks that capitalism relied upon.
In taking a broad based Atlantic perspective to capitalism Haggerty demonstrated that in order to understand the phenomenon historians will have to
take an ever larger view of capitalist endeavors, they will have to step beyond Atlantic perspectives into a global or even transnational look at the

Percy Jackson And The Olympians Narrative Essay
Eyes running line to line, anxious for what would happen next, I sat wide–eyed, my body glued to the edge of my seat, as I read a book from my
favorite series, Percy Jackson and the Olympians by Rick Riordan. The book had me engrossed with the story of Percy and his best friends, dying a

part, the part where the mastermind behind the great, inescapable Labyrinth would finally be revealed, my grandmother called for me downstairs.
"Haley!"
"What?" I called back down the stairs, very vexed that my grandmother could bother me at the absolute best part.
No answer.
I sprinted downstairs through the kitchen, almost knocking over every plant pot and vase on my way to my grandma. There I found her in the living
room where she often spent her time watching the Game Show Network. "You called for me," I replied with a bit of annoyance in my voice, "at the
very best part of my book." My grandmother seemed taken aback, not only because of my sassy remark, but by my lack of remembrance that I had my

be prepared for every possible question that can be asked. According to Dave Ramsey, it is best to wear a navy blue to an interview. For women, it its

evidence that companies relying on strategic network alliances are more profitable since closer buyer–supplier relationships may offer many technical,
financial, and strategic advantages over spot market transactions and vertical integration (Mohr and Speckman, 1994). Furthermore, strategic alliances
provide an effective alternative to improve economies of scale and scope. Different scholars have studied the antecedents that lead to different forms of
network alliances. These studies suggest that assets type involved will impact the type of relationships (Dwyer, Schurr, and Oh, 1987). A different

How Television Images Affect Children
How Television Images Affect Children
by Ron Kaufman
"[A nursery school teacher told me] her children were crudely bopping each other much more than previously, without provocation. When she
remonstrated with them, they would protest, "But that 's what the Three Stooges do." This attitude did not signify a serious undermining of character.
But it certainly showed me that watching violence can lower a child 's standards of behavior. Recent psychological experiments have shown that
watching brutality stimulates at least slight cruelty in adults, too."
–– Dr. Benjamin Spock, from the book Baby and Child Care, 1968
Fifty–seven percent of television programs contain "psychologically harmful" violence, according to a study funded by the cable television industry.
The study, released February 7, 1996, tracked 2,500 hours of television programming. This was the largest sample ever analyzed by researchers.
Oh, that 's ridiculous! Television is not harmful, it 's just entertainment.
But can the steady flow of images watched nightly from television screens across the country be so easily dismissed as simply entertainment? If the
sheer volume of absorbed images is considered, how can what is shown on television have no effect on one 's own mental images? And if new mental
images are created, shouldn 't it be logical to say that they can have an effect on behavior?

Document sharing is also a useful tool, when you convert a Word document for example word 2016 into a Web page that authored content can be
easily shared with others who may not have Word installed or who are using a limited network connection that cannot support opening or
downloading a Word 2016 document in a Web browser. There is not many disadvantages that I can speak of. The one main disadvantage might be that
there could be functionality issues when looking at your ms word file on a webpage and one minor issue with ms word documents is that only one
user can edit at any one time.
When coming up with ideas for a nice layout of your webpage then desktop publisher is probable a good place to start. It offers smart attractive ideas
on how a document is going to turn out when adding pictures and text to you webpage. Newspapers and printing companies often use Microsoft
publisher to print their projects. As this is the case this software would only be used on a part time basis for web design. The main disadvantage of
desktop publisher would be the setup expense from the computer down to the laser printer and software and the high end publisher software's are not

The crowd on the left side was likely free slaves. The fact that the little white girl was there further implies that these people were free. Thomas
Hovenden uses a mix of warm and cool colors to paint this picture. The mother and the babies clothing are the only colors that have high value,
which helps them stand out in the painting. The baby is wearing a bright blue jacket while the mother is wearing a red bandanna and yellowish dress.
His use of bright colors to illustrate this little family along with John Brown giving his blessing to the baby communicates to us that there is a bright
future ahead for them. The contour lines of the painting are drawn strong and hard, isolating each figure. The lines in the painting are mainly vertical.
The majority of the people are all standing up, the soldiers weapons are pointed upward, and the pillars are painted tall. The vertical lines
communicates a sense of heighten spirituality. Also, if you look closely behind John Brown, the artist manipulates the lines of the building to put a
cross–shaped figure right above his head. The combination of these two factors gives us the feeling that Thomas Hovenden was trying to portray John
Brown as a Christ–like Martyr heading to his crucifixion. The lighting of the picture is very natural and comforting. The artist painted the setting to be

This routine breaks when his twin sister Madeline "dies" and Roderick and the narrator entomb her within the house. The death of his sister causes
Roderick to descend deeper into his own madness. He spends most of his time roaming "from chamber to chamber with hurried, unequal, and
objectless step" and began neglecting the daily activities shared between him and the narrator (Poe). Due to the lack of social interaction between
the two, literary expert Craig Howes believes the already mad Roderick now "draws the narrator into madness," (Howes). Now that Roderick has
become less sociable with the narrator and there is one less person in the house, the narrator lacks the social interactions required by most humans.
He feels uneasy about the "corpse" they have entombed and begins to fear the initial dark and gloom of the house itself both inside and out.
Although Prince Prospero from "The Masque of the Red Death" has descended into madness just as much, if not more so, as Roderick Usher, his
madness is represented in a different manner. Prospero's madness is fueled primarily by ignorance. He believes as long as he and his guests remain
within the confines of the abbey, they will all be safe from the "Red Death." Due to this ignorance, within the abbey "there were buffoons, there were
improvisatori, there were ballet–dancers, there were musicians, there was Beauty, there was wine. All these and security were within. Without was

In the decade, the percentage of Internet users escalates every year form 14.1% in 2004 to 40% in 2014, according to internetlivestats.com. Paralleling with the increasing of internet usage, online dating becomes a popular industry in some counties, and Pew Center study shows that the percentage of online dating adult user rises to 11% in 2013 from 3% in 2008 in the US (the majority of online dating).

It was an upgrade from the old, 13–inch black–and–white television I grew up watching.

My father prided himself on the number of things he could break: the watch on the walls of my parent's room, the glasses on the kitchen counter, or my mother's teeth. The TV in my house could drown out the anger of two screaming adults. It knew how to mask my father's drunken slurs and my mother's silent tears. It could hide the shrieking wails of two young children. The TV in my house was also a battlefield as my parents fought over whether to turn it on or off. With only two rooms, one where we could sleep and the other where we could cook and eat, my parent's room also equals as my study room. As my father blasted the TV's volume, my mother fought to keep it down. During my tests, my mother hid the only remote that controlled the TV and made sure I could study for my tests in ...

  • 3. Impact Of Media On The Media With the growth of technology, our use of media is greater than ever before. Without media, many of us would have difficulty accomplishing our daily and nightly routines. Society has become accustomed to using it for our education, work and relationships. But, we almost never stop and question about the impact that the media can have on younger viewers and our society? In this paper I will focus on the positive and negative roles that media has played on individuals and how mass media has influenced the criminal justice policy. To begin, some might ask What is mass media? Mass media is a large form of communication through various sources such as television, radio, telecommunications, newspaper, magazines and the internet. "Media in its various forms is omnipresent in modern life. It can shape our attitudes, perceptions, and behaviors in a variety of ways. One arena in which the media can exert a variety of influences is the legal system. The media, psychology, and the law intersect in a wide variety of contexts. Exposure to media, such as violent video games and pornography, can increase legally relevant behaviors such as aggression and criminal behaviors. Media can be used to facilitate or engage in criminal activity, such as pedophiles' use of social media to access children and the use of the internet for cyberbullying." (Groscup, 2015, pg. 314–315) To some extent, media is responsible for contributing negative feelings among individuals that have been exposed to it. Studies have shown that early exposure to malicious or violent films, books publishing vulgar adult content and news exposing horrendous social practices has a long–lasting impact on younger viewers. If children are exposed to fight sequences, stunt work, sex and/ or rape scenes, suicides and murders through the public media, they are bound to leave damage on these young impressionable minds. Children aren't the only ones subjected to these platforms, adults may also be impacted. Adults may be expected to have the maturity to distinguish between the good and the bad, but when you bombard yourself with only the bad it can affect one at the subconscious level.

Everywhere you look there are cuts and streamlining. Governments are cutting public sector staff, pensions and investment. Private sector firms are tightening budgets throughout and making redundancies, here in the UK there are even redundancies being made in the armed forces.

That overwhelming statistic is indicative of the sales boom of the coffee house sector between 2000 and 2005. During that period the coffee house sector developed larger and faster than any other sector in the restaurant industry, citing a 157% increase in sales.

Step by step, I stride down the hallway leading from my bedroom towards the front door.

Down the stairs and into the foyer, a glow leaks out from the kitchen around the white–bricked corner; I can feel a force wrapping its arms around me, reeling me in like a big fish. The energy brings me inside, into a moment all too familiar: a scene of adults gathered around the oak dining table in the rear of the room.

And at the core of the challenge is the need for a fast, efficient and hassle–free returns service. A tipping point for online apparel retailing The practice of waiting in line for an available changing room to try on new clothes might one day become a novelty rather than an unavoidable nuisance as apparel internet retailing enters a dynamic new era of growth.

For example, H&M and Zara posted CAGRs (by US dollar value) of 12.5% and 11.8%, respectively, over the 2005–2010 period. In contrast, independent apparel specialists have been losing share as their smaller economies of scale are less able to absorb the negative pressures of rapidly rising commodity costs and higher inflation. Even big–name fast fashion retailers have seen their sales growth run out of steam in a number of developed markets. As a result, store–based investment in the post–Lehman Brothers operating environment has focused heavily on building stronger positions in China and other first–tier emerging markets. Department stores face fierce competition from grocers Not all chained apparel specialists have performed well over the recent period. For example, apparel companies that run wholesale operations, as well as their own stores, have been vulnerable to the sluggishness of department stores in developed markets. Esprit and Benetton, notably, have lost market share ground. And Esprit in particular has been weakened by its overdependence on developed markets. Although department stores returned to growth globally in 2010, according to Euromonitor International, the format remains vulnerable not only to the growth of fast fashion chains but also to the growing apparel penetration of leading grocery retailers.

She has over 15 years of experience managing, public relations, and sales channels. She has crisis–management skills and media relations. She has a history working with ABC, CBS, NBC, and FOX news. Dillaway showed the class commercials for Bright House and explained the approaches that were taken to reach different customers. I will apply the concepts Dillaway used and apply them to our textbook. In chapter 13 Public Relations and Marketing is the main focus. Marketing is the process of researching, creating, refining, and promoting a product or service and distributing that product or service to targeted consumers (pg. 402–3). Public relations are the values–driven management of relationships between an organization and the publics that can affect its success (pg.403). Dillaway had to collect research to better understand how to gain and keep customers. In the process of her research she was also able to better advertise Bright House services as well. For example, Dillaway informed the class how Bright House created a commercial to aim directly at Bakersfield customers in doing this the commercial was filmed here. Chapter 13 also defines advertising as controlled media in an attempt to influence the actions of targeted publics.

An incident happened in May 2014 where a young man, Elliot Rodger, expressed his hatred for women and he went on a shooting spree in Santa Barbara, California, targeting women. After this tragedy made the news, thousands of women posted on various social networks with the hashtag #YesAllWomen, in order to share the ways sexism and violence affects everyone in their daily life.

Since 1990 viewers have been turning away from the big four networks –– ABC, NBC, CBS and FOX –– and instead watch more cable channels or watch less TV overall. ABC's statement is that "television" is good; not "ABC" is good. "A Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll confirms that as the audience splinters, television's powerful grip on the nation's collective psyche is weakening," reported The Journal on June 27, 1997. "To a large extent, the network's loss has been cable TV's gain–– although some established cable channels are losing viewers, too." The poll indicated that 65 percent of TV households are watching less than they did five years ago. The most popular reasons for turning off the tube include a dislike for commercials; competing activities like work and exercise; lack of interesting programs; PCs and on–line services; and a belief that TV is a bad influence on

  • 23. The Obligations Of An Eighteenth Century Merchant So the obligations of an eighteenth century merchant were not only a financial consideration, but a social contract between peers. Those who fell outside of this social order would quickly find themselves cut off from the other members of their profession. This exclusion from the social fraternity could effectively end a merchant house, so the majority of merchants observed these social relationships with due diligence. Merchants began business ventures for a multitude of reasons; travel, adventure, prestige, familial obligations and profit were all motivational factors. With this diverse range of motivations, such a group could not sustain these newly formed capitalist networks through the principles of profit alone. So it was this social framework, built on trust not profit motive that constructed the initial trade networks that capitalism relied upon. In taking a broad based Atlantic perspective to capitalism Haggerty demonstrated that in order to understand the phenomenon historians will have to take an ever larger view of capitalist endeavors, they will have to step beyond Atlantic perspectives into a global or even transnational look at the subject.

But it certainly showed me that watching violence can lower a child 's standards of behavior. Recent psychological experiments have shown that watching brutality stimulates at least slight cruelty in adults, too." –– Dr. Benjamin Spock, from the book Baby and Child Care, 1968 Fifty–seven percent of television programs contain "psychologically harmful" violence, according to a study funded by the cable television industry.

I will explain what are the advantages and the disadvantages of each are and I will give comparisons. There will also be some useful user recommendations.

Document sharing is also a useful tool, when you convert a Word document for example word 2016 into a Web page that authored content can be easily shared with others who may not have Word installed or who are using a limited network connection that cannot support opening or downloading a Word 2016 document in a Web browser. There is not many disadvantages that I can speak of. The one main disadvantage might be that there could be functionality issues when looking at your ms word file on a webpage and one minor issue with ms word documents is that only one user can edit at any one time. When coming up with ideas for a nice layout of your webpage then desktop publisher is probable a good place to start. It offers smart attractive ideas on how a document is going to turn out when adding pictures and text to you webpage. Newspapers and printing companies often use Microsoft publisher to print their projects. As this is the case this software would only be used on a part time basis for web design. The main disadvantage of desktop publisher would be the setup expense from the computer down to the laser printer and software and the high end publisher software's are not cheap. Also the users need a good knowledge of the software especially for job positions that use desktop publisher on a daily basis. Another program which would be similar to Microsoft word is the notepad application. ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 39. Taco Bell Commercials The program that I viewed was Kids Junior Chopped on Food Network. It is considered to be American reality based cooking television game show that has junior kids competing for an end prize. In the short little breaks that are given for commercials to be shown, there was over 6 different commercials and they all happened one right after the other. I have never been really fully conscious as to how quick and short commercials really are, but after viewing this 30 minute show it was brought to my attention that commercials can't be too long because they need to be able to hold your attention and in the short span of time it needs to be something that will catch a viewer's eye. Although, often times there are commercials that we just want to end... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...

The fact that the little white girl was there further implies that these people were free. Thomas Hovenden uses a mix of warm and cool colors to paint this picture. The mother and the babies clothing are the only colors that have high value, which helps them stand out in the painting.

"...neither the cable company nor the phone company will be able to act as a gatekeeper, restricting what you can do or see online" (para. 4).

  • 42. Descriptive Essay On The Beach At night, when you open the door you are greeted by a brisk breeze. The place is relaxed and the soft white sands gleam in the half lit sky, as the sky turns from a bright blue to autumnal colors. As you take a walk along the shoreline, you hear the gentle movements of the sea and the distant sound of crickets chirping and rustling in the bushes. Tasting the salt in the air when you inhale.

  • 44. They're All Mad Here: A Literary Comparission of The Fall... They're All Mad Here: A Literary Comparison of "The Fall of the House of Usher" and "The Masque of the Red Death" Internationally known romantic author Edgar Allan Poe has always represented darkness, madness, and death in his stories. With these representations, Poe must provide this mood for the reader to become engulfed in the madness. In his tale "The Fall of the House of Usher," Poe uses descriptive details about the dull color and ruggedness of the house and the Ushers themselves to set a gloomy mood. He also describes in detail Roderick Usher's descent into madness and his fearfulness of death. In turn, he depicts brightly colored chambers in "The Masque of the Red Death," but the arrangement of colors provides a chaotic... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... This routine breaks when his twin sister Madeline "dies" and Roderick and the narrator entomb her within the house. The death of his sister causes Roderick to descend deeper into his own madness. He spends most of his time roaming "from chamber to chamber with hurried, unequal, and objectless step" and began neglecting the daily activities shared between him and the narrator (Poe). Due to the lack of social interaction between the two, literary expert Craig Howes believes the already mad Roderick now "draws the narrator into madness," (Howes). Now that Roderick has become less sociable with the narrator and there is one less person in the house, the narrator lacks the social interactions required by most humans. He feels uneasy about the "corpse" they have entombed and begins to fear the initial dark and gloom of the house itself both inside and out. Although Prince Prospero from "The Masque of the Red Death" has descended into madness just as much, if not more so, as Roderick Usher, his madness is represented in a different manner. Prospero's madness is fueled primarily by ignorance. He believes as long as he and his guests remain within the confines of the abbey, they will all be safe from the "Red Death." Due to this ignorance, within the abbey "there were buffoons, there were improvisatori, there were ballet–dancers, there were musicians, there was Beauty, there was wine.
