A Tale Of Two Cities Analysis
Charles Dickens is widely regarded as one of the most influential writers of the 19th century, and A
Tale Of Two Cities is widely regarded as one of his best novels. Unlike other novels by Dickens, A
Tale Of Two Cities relies upon an engrossing plot and vivid descriptions to develop characters,
rather than dialogue and character interactions. The result is a compelling story of sacrifice and
resurrection that has made A Tale Of Two Cities (hereafter abbreviated ATOTC) a staple in literature
classes all around the world. To achieve the level of writing that elevates ATOTC, Dickens utilizes
beautiful imagery to describe the setting, The French Revolution, and a great deal of metaphors and
symbolism throughout in order to realize the novel's central theme of resurrection and rebirth. While
the character development in ATOTC is generally regarded to be inferior to other Dickens novels,
the description of setting is arguably his best. The story takes place in both London and Paris during
the years 1775–1793, but centers around the French Revolution, and the violence that accompanied
it. Dickens uses vivid imagery throughout the novel to set the scene and to illustrate the brutal nature
of the rebellion. In the very first chapter, Dickens writes, "France, less favoured on the whole as to
matters spiritual than her sister of the shield and trident, rolled with exceeding smoothness down
hill, making paper money and spending it. Under the guidance of her Christian pastors, she

Pit And The Pendulum Narrators
Edgar Allan Poe integrates his work in "The Pit and the Pendulum" and "The Tell–Tale Heart" by
anonymously creating the narrators in first person point of view. Poe vividly uses imagery to help
the reader understand the character of the two narrators; Poe uses his gothic, writing techniques to
illustrate the narrators and differentiate them in the two short stories. In both short stories, the
narrators are given a role: to be killed or be the killer. Edgar Allan Poe distinguishes the role of the
two speakers in "The Pit and the Pendulum and "The Tell–Tale Heart". Edgar Allan Poe justifies the
role of the speaker in "The Pit and the Pendulum" to be the one facing death. First of all, Poe shows
that the role of the narrator is to retell the

The Influence Of The Hero's Journey In All Quiet On The...
The Hero's Journey is a storytelling structure compiled by Joseph Campbell to show that many
stories with a main protagonist have similar elements and behaviors that the protagonist follows
over the course of a tale. However, some authors opt to break the mold of the Hero's Journey,
instead opting to deviate from accepted norms and create thoughtful and shocking stories in the
process. Paul Baumer, the protagonist of Erich Maria Remarque's All Quiet on the Western Front,
shows characteristics typical of the Hero's Journey throughout the novel, such as the Threshold and
the Abyss, but breaks the template when he arrives at the stage of the novel where a hero would
usually experience their Return. The Threshold, where the hero crosses from the ... Show more

Both of these elements show that the training camp was a time in Paul's life when he crossed from
civilian life to military service, which corresponds to the Journey's Threshold from the known to the
unknown. Another part of the Hero's Journey that appears in All Quiet is the Abyss, which can be
related to Paul's killing of Gerard Duval. When Duval, a French soldier, falls into the same shell–
hole that Paul is hiding out in, Paul has no choice but to stab him; the resulting experience leaves
Baumer "taxed beyond endurance" and makes every thought feel like a "stab in the chest"
(Remarque 225). The Abyss is usually the point of the Hero's Journey where the protagonist faces
their greatest challenge, and the strong word choice used by Remarque certainly reinforces the idea
that Paul is going through his own Abyss. The turning point for Paul comes at his Return, or the
point at which the Hero arrives back in the known world and uses the gifts they gained throughout
the journey, which are usually in the form of knowledge or

Comparison of Edgar A. Poe's 'The Tell–Tale Heart" and Stephen King's "Misery" Introduction The
objective of this study is to compare Edgar Allan Poe's "The Tell–Tale Heart" and Stephen King's
"Misery". Poe's work entitled "The Tell–Tale Heart" begins with the statement: "TRUE! nervous
very, very dreadfully nervous I had been and am; but why will you say that I am mad? The disease
had sharpened my senses ––not destroyed ––not dulled them. Above all was the sense of hearing
acute. I heard all things in the heaven and in the earth. I heard many things in hell. How, then, am I
mad? Hearken! and observe how healthily ––how calmly I can tell you the whole story." (Poe, 1843)
Poe states that he does not know how he first acquired the idea but that once it had entered into his
mind that the idea overtook him. He had no reason for what he had done and in fact, he loved the
old man and the old man had never done anything wrong to him. The old man had no material
possessions he wanted however, Poe states: "I think it was his eye! Yes, it was this! He had the eye
of a vulture a pale blue eye, with a film over it." (Poe, 1843) Poe states that when that eye looked
towards him that his blood "ran cold, and so by degrees very gradually I made up my mind to take
the life of the old man, and thus rid myself of the eye forever." (Poe, 1843) Stephen King's work

Mary Sexton 's The Grimm Brothers And Anne Sexton
Fairy tales provide a means for children to work through their inner struggles and find solutions. A
consistent message from fairy tales that confronts children is that a struggle against difficulties is
unavoidable, but if one steadfastly meets unexpected hardships and obstacles, then they will be
victorious in the end. Briar Rose is a classic fairy tale about a princess who pricks her finger on a
spindle and falls asleep for a hundred years. This curse was put upon her when her father decided to
celebrate her birth with a feast, but forgot to invite the twelfth wise woman. The twelfth wise
woman enters the feast full of anger and cast a horrible spell on Briar Rose. This story of Briar Rose
has evolved over time into two stories by different authors, the Grimm brothers and Anne Sexton.
They each have different perspectives on the author's past and the role of the father making. These
differences make the fairy tale propose two different struggles of both social level and a broken
family. Authors' viewpoints are often shown in their writing from their past experiences which,
effects the audience of the story. The Grimm brothers, Jacob and Wilhelm, were born into the
country life being very familiar with farming, nature and peasant customs. They grew up without a

"A day wasted on others is not wasted on oneself" is truly what Charles Dickens is trying to get

In Confessions, Augustine provides anecdotes of landmines that he has encountered with some of

pear tree. The cronies had no need for the pears, but were drawn to the action because, "(they)
derived pleasure from the deed simply because it was forbidden," (Confessions 37). While
Augustine is unable to determine the root of this desire, the reader can assume that the presence of

Ultimately King Louis XVI had been executed; 9 months later Marie was additionally executed by
the guillotine. Dr. Guillotin contrived a statement that it would be a quick, painless death and that's
what granted this machine to be passed as the execution device. The guillotine is an implement that
is also present in The Tale of Two Cities. Throughout The Tale of Two Cities the use of the device
acts as an entertainment to groups of people. In a crowd if someone isn't killed, then they're
disappointed, but if they are then cheerfulness are brought upon the citizens; this concept ties into
the theme of mob mentality that is withal The Tale of Two Cities. The character, Wood–Sawyer

A Monster Calls By Patrick Ness: An Analysis
The novel, A Monster Calls by Patrick Ness focuses on the changes that led Conor to new
understandings. The composer portrays the protagonist to demonstrate the themes of suffering and
acceptance. Conor O'Malley is a 13–year–old boy that experiences bullying and loneliness.
Additionally, he also deals with his mother's illness and suffers from a recurring nightmare that
always wakes him up breathing heavily and feeling exhausted. One night, a tree like monster came
'walking' to help guide and heal Conor from being denied about reality and accepting the truth.
Throughout the novel, Ness illustrates Conor's faults in change, that caused him to suffer the

The composer of the novel uses the monster to conflict towards Conor's emotions to "speak the
truth", thus to demonstrate that there's only one way for the protagonist to escape the nightmare and
it is by confessing the 'Fourth tale'. Additionally, throughout the chapter, the monster also illustrates
the use of narrative devices of repetition and imperative voice towards Conor to "speak the truth or
stay here forever". Ness also demonstrates emotive language to help display Conor's suffering and
affliction, "the blackness was wrapping itself around Conor's eyes now... it was suffocating him. It
was killing him", as the composer uses personification to help shape meaning to Conor's soreness
and pain. Furthermore, Patrick Ness also uses Conor to describe emotive language, "Conor's eyes
were filling now. Tears were tumbling down... nearly taken him over completely", as it illustrates
that the fear and darkness is suffocating and killing the protagonist. Therefore, the author uses the

Tale Of Two Cities Resurrection
While reading the novel, A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens, there were many recurring
themes directly and indirectly shown inside the text. Although, theme of resurrection was the most
salient and prominent from the book. This theme was best displayed through the author's use of
characterization. During several events in the book, Dickens swayed this important idea throughout
many of the character's thoughts, words, and actions. Near the beginning of the novel, Jarvis Lorry
met with Lucie Manette at the Royal George Hotel in Dover, after her father was found to be alive.
Lorry mentioned to Lucie later, "Still, alive. Your father has been taken to the house of an old
servant in Paris, and we are going there: I, to identify him if I can: ... Show more content on

Also, because Lucie believed she would see her father's ghost rather than see him alive, she felt as if
she were being recalled to life. Also during the beginning of the first book, Dickens lightly covered
the theme of resurrection with Jerry Cruncher. His job as a person who dug up graves and sold the
bodies to scientists granted him the label of, "Resurrection Man," which demonstrated a direct
characterization of Jerry Cruncher. He is soon given knowledge about a spy named Roger Cly after
he discovers that the body was never buried at all. This could represent a literal resurrection of the
spy through Cruncher's actions and thoughts. Throughout the novel, the theme of resurrection was
vastly associated with the dynamic character Sydney Carton. Towards the end of the novel, as
Charles Darnay's death sentence drew near, Carton arrived to Darnay's prison cell and tricked him
into changing clothes with him. Because of his love for Lucie and striking resemblance of Darnay,

when the fears releases and lead to paranoia. Sometimes fear clouds the mind of rational thoughts
therefore, it that may or will become an obsession. In Edgar Allan Poe's " The Tell–Tale Heart", "
The Pit and the Pendulum" , and " The Masque of Red Death", all of the main characters experience
fear. Edgar Allan Poe uses symbolism, irony, and imagery to illuminate how fear distorts the
protagonist's mind and resulting in such fear. The symbols in "The Tell–Tale Heart" and "The

Kindertransport Essay
Discuss the role of the Ratcatcher in this extract and elsewhere in the play.
The play 'Kindertransport' written by Diane Samuels rotates immensely around the Ratcatcher. The

The given extract begins with Helga reluctantly agreeing to read 'The Ratcatcher' as a bedtime story
to Eva. The reasons for Helga's reluctance remain ambiguous as the play proceeds with Helga
reading the book simultaneous to Faith who is in a different setting also reading the same book. The
following scene is of Eva frantically leaving in a train.

As the play proceeds the Ratcatcher also takes upon a number of different characters such as the
Nazi Border Official, the English Organiser, the Station Guard, etc. All of these are portray
threatening and patronising characters that stereotype her or simply authoritative figures. This
reflects the author's attempt to present to the reader the different viewpoints of the society about the
Jews and refugees such as Eva.
In addition another key factor which has a significant impact on the manner in which the
Ratcatcher's role can be interpreted is the language used to describe him in the given extract. He is
described as someone who "hisses" the aggressive words "I will find you." The use of the strong
verb "I will" indicates a threatening and predatory tone. A similarly threatening tone is used further
into the play by an officer who exclaims "Sir! Sorry Sir" indicating Eva to repeat after him. The
stage directions also state that the officer "bodysearches Eva" which reflect his threatening and
patronising character. The similar character of authority figures to the Ratcatcher suggests that
perhaps these figures are just the reality version of the Ratcatcher.

shut up in the women's bathroom... Perhaps Arturito is already dead, I thought, perhaps that lonely
valley is an emblem of death."(74–75) Auxilio's outlook seemed like a very dark one, calling a
valley an emblem of death is pretty atramentous. It's also foreshadowing of what comes later in the
novel. When one envisions this image of the valley, it seems Auxilio is in the bathroom again. She is

The Tell Tale Heart Insanity Essay
According to Merriam Webster Dictionary, insanity is "a severely disordered state of the mind

Masterful uses of symbolism give a simple short story another dimension, adding a new layer.
Unnerving imagery builds suspense that leads to the character's mad breakdown. In The Tell–Tale
Heart, Poe uses a unique theme, deep symbolism, and abstract imagery to explore how insanity can
affect a person.

saying that any sane man would do what he does, while simultaneously ... Show more content on

The idea of time is used in "clock imagery" which is "associated with the erosion of the person's
well–being" (Magistrale 77). Poe's use of time imagery appears in many stories, and is almost
always associated with mental deterioration. This deterioration always causes the narrator to
completely lose whatever sanity he has, which can clearly be seen in The Tell–Tale Heart. Guilt and
judgment are often underlying means of imagery when "Poe's characters commit their crimes,"
causing the characters to "instantaneously activate some principle of judgment," which can be seen
"both inside and outside the self" (Magistrale 77). After the narrator kills the old man, the heart
beating is certainly his own judgment and guilt for his action, which costs him in the end. These
events occur in some form in many of Poe's tales. The concept of two beings being bound together,
as odd as it may sound, is "psychological– brought on by the murderer's own inability to separate
himself from the person he has murdered" (Magistrale 84). This concept of inseparability and
psychological binding adds a new aspect of hidden meaning to an already enigmatic story. This

Ricky And Morty: The Hero's Journey
In post–modern thought, the shift from grand narrative and universal truth to more local simplistic
truth is very important. The shift instils a sense realism, when engaging in post–modern thought. In
contrast Baudrillard (1991) coined the phrase 'hyperreality' which the inability of distinguish
between simulation and reality. This is a stark contrast to the sense of realism that post–modern
thought engages in. However, this does present an avenue in which to critique the culture of today.
One show titled Ricky & Morty, created by Dan Harmon & Justin Rowland engage in this sort of
critique. Dan Harmon & Justin Rowland use philosophy as a vehicle to drive their meta–narratives,

Referencing 'The Hero's Journey' by Joseph Campbell, Guy talks about the journey in which a

value of yourself, you have to lose stuff before you realise that all the stuff that you're losing is
ephemeral and transitory. You must first prostitute yourself in order to know the value of yourself
that is the essence of all story" (Ritchie. G, 2017). In Campbell's book 'The Hero's Journey'(1990)
the concept of the stages of a journey and the journey to the Abyss are discussed. Campbell's book
describes how a protagonist answers the call to adventure, journeying through the 'known' until
reaching a struggle. In this struggle he must reach down into the depths of the 'Abyss' or the
'unknown' in order to grow and develop, and in doing so is reborn. Once reborn the protagonist can

The life in the gorge can be examen and literally seem like the abyss of the story but digging down
deeper into the text the gorge appears to be figuratively the abyss "I had the feeling that if it were
perfectly quiet, if I could hear nothing, I would never wake up. Something in the world had to pull
me back, for every night I went down deep, and if I had any sensation during sleep, it was of going
deeper and deeper, trying to reach a point, a line or border" (167) Ed describes his difficult time
trying to sleep. This draws importance because he is searching for something in his life to get his life

Sleeping Beauty, A Paraphilia
Sleeping Beauty, a fairy tale so rampant with sexual abuse that it actually has a word named after it.
"Somnophilia," also known as the sleeping beauty syndrome is a paraphilia in which an individual
becomes sexually aroused by someone who is asleep or unconscious (this can be considered rape).
Can any other fairytale boast to having a fetish named after them? Original versions of fairy tales
often overlooked a key aspect that is considered as one of the most important words in today's
society. Consent. Consent is key. The distinction between the words "yes" and "no" have been
clearly defined. How have the modern adaptations of fairy tales have introduced consent in their
retelling? I'll be focusing on how the idea of consent has been introduced in recent adaptations of
Sleeping Beauty and Snow White and how they've evolved from their original versions.
Basile's Sun, Moon and Talia, the oldest version of Sleeping Beauty is a prime example of non–
consensual sexual activity. Talia (Sleeping Beauty) having pricked her finger on flax falls lifeless.
Her father, the King, sits her on the throne and leaves, unable to stand the sight of his daughter in
such a state. A falcon belonging to a King hunting nearby flies into the abandoned castle and the
King in search of his bird stumbles upon Talia's lifeless body. Entranced by her beauty, he engages
in sexual intercourse with her impregnating her and leaves her body as he found her, lifeless. Talia

Analysis Of Charles Dickens ' A Tale Of Two Cities
With revolution brewing in the air, various authors took writing as a way to express their opinions.
One such author, Charles Dickens wrote A Tale of Two Cities as his way of expressing his interest
and concerns. Charles Dickens, the second of eight children, was born on February 7, 1812, in
Portsmouth, England. His father, John Dickens worked as a naval clerk, and dreamed of striking it
rich. However, in 1823, his father found himself forced into Marshalsea Debtor's Prison, where the
rest of his family soon followed him. At the age of fifteen, he began work at an attorney's law office
in London. Soon thereafter, Dickens began to freelance report on both the courts, and also
Parliament. By the age of twenty–five, his writing for The Posthumous Papers of the Pickwick Club,
made him one of England's most popular and captivating authors. During this time of fame, Europe
political world struggled, and the idea of revolution flew in the air. Knowing the influence his
writing had, Dickens began to write about the cost of revolution. In fact, in 1859, Dickens published
A Tale of Two Cities as a way of warning the English that legislative reform should always take
precedence over bloody revolution (Discovering Dickens).
Continuing his captivating style, Dickens wrote A Tale of Two Cities as historical fiction, centering
on the events in Paris and London, before and during the French Revolution. Dickens mainly
focuses the story on Charles Darnay, a self–exiled nephew of French

Charles Dicken’s A Tale of Two Cities
Orison Swett Marden, an author known for his works in philosophy once wrote, "You will be
modified, shaped, molded by your surroundings, by the character of the people with whom you
come in contact". Using these words, Marden summarizes what factors influence humans and shape
how they turn out. A similar scenario appears in Charles Dicken's A Tale of Two Cities, where two
characters are initially driven by their love for different people, but soon turn into complete
opposites. Madame DeFarge, fueled by love, turns evil, while Sydney Carton, a lazy alcoholic, takes
charge of his life after being motivated by love. The factor that separates their paths is their

(3.14.376). Since she is one of them, she is already passionate about exterminating the nobility, but
it also fits in well with her goal of exterminating the Evrémonde family. Hence, this revolution and
her surroundings stop Madame DeFarge from recovering from her childhood and it serves as a
constant opportunity that will allow her to exact revenge from her family. In addition, this revolution
lets her love take the wrong direction.
Mr. Carton, on the other hand, is impacted by his love for Lucie Manette in a big way because he
goes from being a lazy alcoholic to a making a great sacrifice for those Lucie cares about. Sydney
Carton initially describes himself by saying: "I am a disappointed drudge, sir. I care for no man on
earth, and no man on earth cares for me" (2.4.70). He has no goals in life and is hopeless at a young
age because he mostly wanders through streets, drunk and wasting his potential. However, this
changes when he confronts Lucie about his love for her because he mends his ways and does
something Lucie can remember him for. He tells her, crying and promising to change, that "O Miss

He made the most extortionary discovery, an alien like life form almost tribal in nature at the
deepest point in the sea. H.G. Wells used the unaddressed narrator to retell the tale of Elstead's
discovery because such a sight and a chain of events led him to a shaken sanity. The descent of
Elstead started off uncording to plan, he rolled and tumbled within the sphere due to its shape, and
soon after he was consumed by his thought with doubt. He began to believe that his safety measure
may not be as fool proof as he once thought only to be interrupted by the hissing heat and pressure

Patriarchal Society and the Erasure of the Feminine Self in The Story of an Hour
Critical readings of Chopin's works often note the tension between female characters and the society
that surrounds them. Margaret Bauer suggests that Chopin is concerned with exploring the "dynamic
interrelation between women and men, women and patriarchy, even women and women" (146).
Often, critics focus on the importance of conflict in these works and the way in which Chopin uses
gender constraints on two levels, to open an avenue for the discussion of feminine identity and, at
the same time, to critique the patriarchal society that denies that identity. Kay Butler suggests that
"entrapment, not freedom, is the source of Chopin's ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
"The Story of an Hour" describes the journey of Mrs. Mallard against the Cult of True Womanhood
as she slowly becomes aware of her own desires and thus of a feminine self that has long been
suppressed. While this journey begins with the news of her husband's death, Mr. Mallard's
unexpected return at the very end of the tale tragically cuts short the journey towards feminine
selfhood. Yet the tale is tragic from beginning to end, for the very attempt to create an identity
against the gender constraints of patriarchal society is riddled with a sense that such an attempt can
only end in defeat. "The Story of an Hour" demonstrates that the patriarchal society that defines
gender roles which control and delimit women's experiences deny them a self founded on true
feminine desires. Ultimately, Mrs. Mallard's journey towards selfhood only serves to reveal the
erasure of identity, indeed of being, that women experienced in the nineteenth century.
Through symbolically and ironically suggesting that gender definitions delimit the feminine self, the
opening of "The Story of an Hour" hints of the tragedy that pervades the tale. Because of Mrs.
Mallard's "heart trouble," her sister and her husband's friend rush to her side to break the news of her
husband's death in a gentle manner (644). On a literal level, Louise Mallard's condition suggests that

Comparing The Pit And The Pendulum By Edgar Allan Poe
For many, Edgar Allan Poe's The Pit and the Pendulum is a tale about a victim of the Spanish
Inquisition. A more rewarding approach is to perceive The Pit and the Pendulum as a poem about
salvation. The daily struggle to free themselves from the bonds of their sins afflicts many today. No
matter what they attempt or how the try to repeal their punishment, mankind must pay the ultimate
penance for their sin: death. Poe's The Pit and the Pendulum displays a representation of humans'
ultimate penance and their salvation from the inevitable. The narrator of the story accurately reflects
the burden of the guilty conscience and shameful sentence that every mortal must bear. Poe never

Similar to humans, the narrator is sentenced to death in a verdict which he fully deserves. His
sentence is not immediate death but life lived amid horror, which he is limited in his ability to
comprehend and from which he can never escape through his own exertion. Each effort by the
prisoner leads to a worse horror; the more adept he becomes at solving problems, the more difficult
the problems become, until at last they are beyond his ability to cope with them. Whether the
narrator chooses to jump into the pit or get sliced in half by the pendulum, he faces an identical
outcome–death. The narrator finally comes to the realization that ultimate salvation must come from
outside himself. The moment he gives up and commits himself to the final descent into the pit, an
arm reaches out and saves him. Likewise, humans have been sentenced to death. They are lost,
wandering around unable to save themselves. "We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has
turned to our own way," however; our price has been paid and we have been saved, "the Lord has
laid on [Jesus], the iniquity of us all" (NIV, Isaiah 53:6). Through his manuscript The Pit and the

Jack London was born John Griffith Chaney on January 12, 1876, in San Francisco, California.
After he was done working he become a author, and was known for writing, "The Call of the Wild,
White Fang and Martin Eden". Jack London died on November 22, 1916 by dysentery. His life as a
writer essentially began in 1893. That year he had weathered a harrowing sealing voyage, one in
which a typhoon had nearly taken out London and his crew. The 17–year–old adventurer had made
it home and regaled his mother with his tales of what had happened to him. When she saw an

His experience in the Yukon had convinced him he had stories he could tell. In addition, his own
poverty and that of the struggling men and women he encountered pushed him to embrace
socialism, which he stayed committed to all his life. The success did little to soften London's hard–
driving lifestyle. A prolific writer, he published more than 50 books over the last 16 years of his life.
The titles included The People of the Abyss (1903), which offered a scathing critique of capitalism;
White Fang (1906), a popular tale about a wild wolf dog becoming domesticated; and John
Barleycorn (1913), a memoir of sorts that detailed his lifelong battle with alcohol. In 1900 London
married Bess Maddern. The couple had two daughters together, Joan and Bess. By some accounts
Bess and London's relationship was constructed less around love and more around the idea that they
could have strong, healthy children together. It's not surprising, then, that their marriage lasted just a

A Tale Of Two Cities By Charles Dickens
As described by Charles Dickens through his novel A Tale of Two Cities, he states, "It was the best
of times, it was the worst of times". (1) The novel, set in 1775 is in the midst of the French
Revolution, a time that was embodied by dualities. Love and hate. Misery and happiness. Light and
darkness. Hope and despair. The novel utilizes devices such as juxtaposition and repetition to help
add meaning to the novel. One such example can be found in the last passage of the novel. With the
use of imagery and repetition found in the final passage of the novel, the sacrificial death of Sydney
Carton serves to reveal Sydney Carton and the nation of Paris as a symbol of redemption and`
resurrection. In the novel A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens, Sydney Carton was portrayed as
a character whose life had no meaning. He believes that he will never be able rise into a better life,
but by being willing to sacrifice himself the life that he wasted helps push and create a life for those
whom he sacrificed himself for. As the novel progresses however, little by little, Sydney Carton
gains more meaning to his life and gains ownership over his life. In the final passage of the novel,
Carton sacrifices his life which saved the life of Charles Darnay, a man who appeared as his

The message pivotal point is to challenge whites on their moral and spiritual obligations of slavery.

who says unto you m Do unto all men as you would men should do unto you?"(133) The statement

spiritual obligations of slavery, articulating, "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself." (226) this fits

Mr. Carton is represented the phrase, "[he was the] idlest and most unpromising of men" (78). Mr.
Darnay on the other hand, "was a young man of about five–and–twenty, well–grown and

(56). These twin characters are given a similar outside appearance, yet their charisma and

"The bill being paid, Charles Darnay rose and wished him good night. Without returning the wish,
Carton rose too, with something of a threat of defiance in his manner, and said, 'A last word, Mr.

These stories have their similarities and differences but a main similarity is their themes.
In the Cherokee creation story animals lived in the sky and a few of the animals shaped the earth
after the beetle brought it out of the water. God created the earth and everything in it in only six days
within the European creation story. A West African story explains how a minor god created the earth
then humans after having too much to drink. The Greeks creation story tells about Chaos giving
birth to the earth, sky and underworld. The similarities between the main ideas of these stories are
that in the West African and Cherokee stories the earth comes out of the water and the animals lived
in the sky. Nothingness in the beginning was a common theme in the Greek and European stories.
Humans were created in their creator's likeness in European, West Indian, and Greek stories. Some

The Sea Wind By Rachel Carson Essay
The book I chose to do a report over is called Under the Sea–Wind by Rachel Carson. Rachel
Carson is an environmental writer who has written multiple books over issues happen in the natural
world around us. In Under the Sea–Wind tells the story of animal behavior through descriptive and
poet writing. The novel is split up into three separate stories. Book 1 is called EDGE OF SEA, book
2 is called THE GULL'S WAY, and the last book, or book 3, is called RIVER AND SEA. Each book
focuses in on a specific animal and how it travels during its life cycle. Each book tackles a separate
problem that is troubling the life form of that location. Carson uses fiction style writing influences to
express the real problems faced by organisms on the shore, in the open sea, and moving water that
humans otherwise would not have known. Carson covers migration and seasonal change, the
difficulty for fish (or other animals) to grow up in the ocean, and the lesser known lives of ocean
animals in the deep abyss. The first main point Carson covers is the migration of animals and the
difficulty that is met during their travels and how the seasonal changes affect their lives. When
temperatures quickly warm or drop, life cycles such as plant blooming, mating, and animal
migration, may become unbalanced or more difficult to thrive in (Cho, 2015). Carson starts early on
in the novel with details of how young animals may not make it out of their first stages of life due to
these harsh conditions.

A Tale Of Two Cities Analysis

  • 1. A Tale Of Two Cities Analysis Charles Dickens is widely regarded as one of the most influential writers of the 19th century, and A Tale Of Two Cities is widely regarded as one of his best novels. Unlike other novels by Dickens, A Tale Of Two Cities relies upon an engrossing plot and vivid descriptions to develop characters, rather than dialogue and character interactions. The result is a compelling story of sacrifice and resurrection that has made A Tale Of Two Cities (hereafter abbreviated ATOTC) a staple in literature classes all around the world. To achieve the level of writing that elevates ATOTC, Dickens utilizes beautiful imagery to describe the setting, The French Revolution, and a great deal of metaphors and symbolism throughout in order to realize the novel's central theme of resurrection and rebirth. While the character development in ATOTC is generally regarded to be inferior to other Dickens novels, the description of setting is arguably his best. The story takes place in both London and Paris during the years 1775–1793, but centers around the French Revolution, and the violence that accompanied it. Dickens uses vivid imagery throughout the novel to set the scene and to illustrate the brutal nature of the rebellion. In the very first chapter, Dickens writes, "France, less favoured on the whole as to matters spiritual than her sister of the shield and trident, rolled with exceeding smoothness down hill, making paper money and spending it. Under the guidance of her Christian pastors, she ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 2. Pit And The Pendulum Narrators Edgar Allan Poe integrates his work in "The Pit and the Pendulum" and "The Tell–Tale Heart" by anonymously creating the narrators in first person point of view. Poe vividly uses imagery to help the reader understand the character of the two narrators; Poe uses his gothic, writing techniques to illustrate the narrators and differentiate them in the two short stories. In both short stories, the narrators are given a role: to be killed or be the killer. Edgar Allan Poe distinguishes the role of the two speakers in "The Pit and the Pendulum and "The Tell–Tale Heart". Edgar Allan Poe justifies the role of the speaker in "The Pit and the Pendulum" to be the one facing death. First of all, Poe shows that the role of the narrator is to retell the ...

  • 3. The Influence Of The Hero's Journey In All Quiet On The... The Hero's Journey is a storytelling structure compiled by Joseph Campbell to show that many stories with a main protagonist have similar elements and behaviors that the protagonist follows over the course of a tale. However, some authors opt to break the mold of the Hero's Journey, instead opting to deviate from accepted norms and create thoughtful and shocking stories in the process. Paul Baumer, the protagonist of Erich Maria Remarque's All Quiet on the Western Front, shows characteristics typical of the Hero's Journey throughout the novel, such as the Threshold and the Abyss, but breaks the template when he arrives at the stage of the novel where a hero would usually experience their Return. The Threshold, where the hero crosses from the ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Both of these elements show that the training camp was a time in Paul's life when he crossed from civilian life to military service, which corresponds to the Journey's Threshold from the known to the unknown. Another part of the Hero's Journey that appears in All Quiet is the Abyss, which can be related to Paul's killing of Gerard Duval. When Duval, a French soldier, falls into the same shell– hole that Paul is hiding out in, Paul has no choice but to stab him; the resulting experience leaves Baumer "taxed beyond endurance" and makes every thought feel like a "stab in the chest" (Remarque 225). The Abyss is usually the point of the Hero's Journey where the protagonist faces their greatest challenge, and the strong word choice used by Remarque certainly reinforces the idea that Paul is going through his own Abyss. The turning point for Paul comes at his Return, or the point at which the Hero arrives back in the known world and uses the gifts they gained throughout the journey, which are usually in the form of knowledge or ...

Poe's 'The Tell–Tale Heart" and Stephen King's "Misery" Introduction The objective of this study is to compare Edgar Allan Poe's "The Tell–Tale Heart" and Stephen King's "Misery". Poe's work entitled "The Tell–Tale Heart" begins with the statement: "TRUE! nervous very, very dreadfully nervous I had been and am; but why will you say that I am mad? The disease had sharpened my senses ––not destroyed ––not dulled them. Above all was the sense of hearing acute. I heard all things in the heaven and in the earth. I heard many things in hell. How, then, am I mad? Hearken! and observe how healthily ––how calmly I can tell you the whole story." (Poe, 1843) Poe states that he does not know how he first acquired the idea but that once it had entered into his mind that the idea overtook him. He had no reason for what he had done and in fact, he loved the old man and the old man had never done anything wrong to him. The old man had no material possessions he wanted however, Poe states: "I think it was his eye! Yes, it was this! He had the eye of a vulture a pale blue eye, with a film over it." (Poe, 1843) Poe states that when that eye looked towards him that his blood "ran cold, and so by degrees very gradually I made up my mind to take the life of the old man, and thus rid myself of the eye forever." (Poe, 1843) Stephen King's work entitled "Misery" begins by stating the following: "When you look into the abyss, the abyss also looks into you. C. ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

It loomed almost four feet above my 6–foot figure, while it stretched its slimy arm–like limbs at about an 8–foot span. It held no sure–fire form, almost like a jello. Except this jello oozed a slimy substance from every pore. Its face was twisted, eyes far away from its mouth, a slit nose barely visible. The mouth held thousands of jagged teeth, that silently snarled that I would be ended if I should even snag one of them.

  • 7. Tale Of Two Cities Sacrifice "A day wasted on others is not wasted on oneself" is truly what Charles Dickens is trying to get across to the reader. A Tale of Two Cities, although a book that is often recognized for its historical significance, is in fact a love story. It is not simply a love story concerning the journey of a couple, but that of humanity. It teaches the value and definition of what love is. Charles Dickens understood love to be a genuine concern for the wellbeing of another person.

Augustine regales the reader first with a tale of his friends and him stealing from a pear tree. The cronies had no need for the pears, but were drawn to the action because, "(they) derived pleasure from the deed simply because it was forbidden," (Confessions 37). While Augustine is unable to determine the root of this desire, the reader can assume that the presence of his friends at most peer pressured him to do it and at minimum lowered his inhibition against committing that sin.

Ultimately King Louis XVI had been executed; 9 months later Marie was additionally executed by the guillotine. Dr. Guillotin contrived a statement that it would be a quick, painless death and that's what granted this machine to be passed as the execution device. The guillotine is an implement that is also present in The Tale of Two Cities. Throughout The Tale of Two Cities the use of the device acts as an entertainment to groups of people. In a crowd if someone isn't killed, then they're disappointed, but if they are then cheerfulness are brought upon the citizens; this concept ties into the theme of mob mentality that is withal The Tale of Two Cities.

The composer of the novel uses the monster to conflict towards Conor's emotions to "speak the truth", thus to demonstrate that there's only one way for the protagonist to escape the nightmare and it is by confessing the 'Fourth tale'. Additionally, throughout the chapter, the monster also illustrates the use of narrative devices of repetition and imperative voice towards Conor to "speak the truth or stay here forever". Ness also demonstrates emotive language to help display Conor's suffering and affliction, "the blackness was wrapping itself around Conor's eyes now... it was suffocating him. It was killing him", as the composer uses personification to help shape meaning to Conor's soreness and pain. Furthermore, Patrick Ness also uses Conor to describe emotive language, "Conor's eyes were filling now.

  • 13. Tale Of Two Cities Resurrection While reading the novel, A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens, there were many recurring themes directly and indirectly shown inside the text. Although, theme of resurrection was the most salient and prominent from the book. This theme was best displayed through the author's use of characterization. During several events in the book, Dickens swayed this important idea throughout many of the character's thoughts, words, and actions. Near the beginning of the novel, Jarvis Lorry met with Lucie Manette at the Royal George Hotel in Dover, after her father was found to be alive. Lorry mentioned to Lucie later, "Still, alive. Your father has been taken to the house of an old servant in Paris, and we are going there: I, to identify him if I can: ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Also, because Lucie believed she would see her father's ghost rather than see him alive, she felt as if she were being recalled to life. Also during the beginning of the first book, Dickens lightly covered the theme of resurrection with Jerry Cruncher. His job as a person who dug up graves and sold the bodies to scientists granted him the label of, "Resurrection Man," which demonstrated a direct characterization of Jerry Cruncher. He is soon given knowledge about a spy named Roger Cly after he discovers that the body was never buried at all. This could represent a literal resurrection of the spy through Cruncher's actions and thoughts. Throughout the novel, the theme of resurrection was vastly associated with the dynamic character Sydney Carton. Towards the end of the novel, as Charles Darnay's death sentence drew near, Carton arrived to Darnay's prison cell and tricked him into changing clothes with him. Because of his love for Lucie and striking resemblance of Darnay, Carton makes the ultimate sacrifice. When Carton's death occurred, those who witnessed said his death was "sublime and prophetic" ...

Unlike the theory that the children were led on an ill–fated "children's crusade", the emigration theory has documents to back up the claim.

The play 'Kindertransport' written by Diane Samuels rotates immensely around the Ratcatcher. The Ratcatcher's role in this extract and the whole play can be interpreted in many ways. The given extract begins with Helga reluctantly agreeing to read 'The Ratcatcher' as a bedtime story to Eva. The reasons for Helga's reluctance remain ambiguous as the play proceeds with Helga reading the book simultaneous to Faith who is in a different setting also reading the same book. The following scene is of Eva frantically leaving in a train. Helga's hesitancy in this extract as Eva requests The Ratcatcher books suggests an underlying implication that the tale is similar ...

As the play proceeds the Ratcatcher also takes upon a number of different characters such as the Nazi Border Official, the English Organiser, the Station Guard, etc. All of these are portray threatening and patronising characters that stereotype her or simply authoritative figures. This reflects the author's attempt to present to the reader the different viewpoints of the society about the Jews and refugees such as Eva. In addition another key factor which has a significant impact on the manner in which the Ratcatcher's role can be interpreted is the language used to describe him in the given extract. He is described as someone who "hisses" the aggressive words "I will find you." The use of the strong verb "I will" indicates a threatening and predatory tone. A similarly threatening tone is used further into the play by an officer who exclaims "Sir! Sorry Sir" indicating Eva to repeat after him. The stage directions also state that the officer "bodysearches Eva" which reflect his threatening and patronising character. The similar character of authority figures to the Ratcatcher suggests that perhaps these figures are just the reality version of the Ratcatcher. The 'Ratcatcher Music' is one of the factors frequently referred to in the stage directions of the play. Soon in the play it is evident that the music is often added into the scene in which ...

Bolano immediately introduces to the reader what they think they story is going to be about, but in actuality, you never truly understand it. Bolano also takes the reader for a whirlwind in what feels like a reincarnation of Alice in Wonderland and Inception. Amulet's main character and narrator is Auxilio Lacouture. To sum up the story in a couple sentences is almost impossible, but let's give it the old college try. Auxilio is in 1968 Mexico City at UNAM (National Autonomous University of Mexico). A massacre is currently taking place and she is stuck in a bathroom stall fearing for her life. She stays in this bathroom with no ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... So many themes come up as well. One quote in particular that displays Auxilio's demise, is when Auxilio is speaking about the valley, she states, "I saw a mirror, and peering into it, I could see an enormous, uninhabited valley, and the vision of that valley brought tears to my eyes... I saw myself shut up in the women's bathroom... Perhaps Arturito is already dead, I thought, perhaps that lonely valley is an emblem of death."(74–75) Auxilio's outlook seemed like a very dark one, calling a valley an emblem of death is pretty atramentous. It's also foreshadowing of what comes later in the novel. When one envisions this image of the valley, it seems Auxilio is in the bathroom again. She is looking at the mirror, and in this mirror there is a different plain of existence which coincides with her own.

Underlying themes show what insanity can do to a man. Masterful uses of symbolism give a simple short story another dimension, adding a new layer. Unnerving imagery builds suspense that leads to the character's mad breakdown. In The Tell–Tale Heart, Poe uses a unique theme, deep symbolism, and abstract imagery to explore how insanity can affect a person.

The idea of time is used in "clock imagery" which is "associated with the erosion of the person's well–being" (Magistrale 77). Poe's use of time imagery appears in many stories, and is almost always associated with mental deterioration. This deterioration always causes the narrator to completely lose whatever sanity he has, which can clearly be seen in The Tell–Tale Heart. Guilt and judgment are often underlying means of imagery when "Poe's characters commit their crimes," causing the characters to "instantaneously activate some principle of judgment," which can be seen "both inside and outside the self" (Magistrale 77). After the narrator kills the old man, the heart beating is certainly his own judgment and guilt for his action, which costs him in the end. These events occur in some form in many of Poe's tales. The concept of two beings being bound together, as odd as it may sound, is "psychological– brought on by the murderer's own inability to separate himself from the person he has murdered" (Magistrale 84). This concept of inseparability and psychological binding adds a new aspect of hidden meaning to an already enigmatic story. This abstract imagery adds to the story as a whole.

One such author, Charles Dickens wrote A Tale of Two Cities as his way of expressing his interest and concerns. Charles Dickens, the second of eight children, was born on February 7, 1812, in Portsmouth, England. His father, John Dickens worked as a naval clerk, and dreamed of striking it rich. However, in 1823, his father found himself forced into Marshalsea Debtor's Prison, where the rest of his family soon followed him.

By the age of twenty–five, his writing for The Posthumous Papers of the Pickwick Club, made him one of England's most popular and captivating authors. During this time of fame, Europe political world struggled, and the idea of revolution flew in the air. Knowing the influence his writing had, Dickens began to write about the cost of revolution. In fact, in 1859, Dickens published A Tale of Two Cities as a way of warning the English that legislative reform should always take precedence over bloody revolution (Discovering Dickens).

A similar scenario appears in Charles Dicken's A Tale of Two Cities, where two characters are initially driven by their love for different people, but soon turn into complete opposites.

Since she is one of them, she is already passionate about exterminating the nobility, but it also fits in well with her goal of exterminating the Evrémonde family. Hence, this revolution and her surroundings stop Madame DeFarge from recovering from her childhood and it serves as a constant opportunity that will allow her to exact revenge from her family. In addition, this revolution lets her love take the wrong direction. Mr. Carton, on the other hand, is impacted by his love for Lucie Manette in a big way because he goes from being a lazy alcoholic to a making a great sacrifice for those Lucie cares about. Sydney Carton initially describes himself by saying: "I am a disappointed drudge, sir. I care for no man on earth, and no man on earth cares for me" (2.4.70). He has no goals in life and is hopeless at a young age because he mostly wanders through streets, drunk and wasting his potential. However, this changes when he confronts Lucie about his love for her because he mends his ways and does something Lucie can remember him for.

The descent of Elstead started off uncording to plan, he rolled and tumbled within the sphere due to its shape, and soon after he was consumed by his thought with doubt.

Often, critics focus on the importance of conflict in these works and the way in which Chopin uses gender constraints on two levels, to open an avenue for the discussion of feminine identity and, at the same time, to critique the patriarchal society that denies that identity.

"The Story of an Hour" describes the journey of Mrs. Mallard against the Cult of True Womanhood as she slowly becomes aware of her own desires and thus of a feminine self that has long been suppressed. While this journey begins with the news of her husband's death, Mr. Mallard's unexpected return at the very end of the tale tragically cuts short the journey towards feminine selfhood. Yet the tale is tragic from beginning to end, for the very attempt to create an identity against the gender constraints of patriarchal society is riddled with a sense that such an attempt can only end in defeat. "The Story of an Hour" demonstrates that the patriarchal society that defines gender roles which control and delimit women's experiences deny them a self founded on true feminine desires. Ultimately, Mrs. Mallard's journey towards selfhood only serves to reveal the erasure of identity, indeed of being, that women experienced in the nineteenth century. Through symbolically and ironically suggesting that gender definitions delimit the feminine self, the opening of "The Story of an Hour" hints of the tragedy that pervades the tale.

No matter what they attempt or how the try to repeal their punishment, mankind must pay the ultimate penance for their sin: death.

His sentence is not immediate death but life lived amid horror, which he is limited in his ability to comprehend and from which he can never escape through his own exertion. Each effort by the prisoner leads to a worse horror; the more adept he becomes at solving problems, the more difficult the problems become, until at last they are beyond his ability to cope with them. Whether the narrator chooses to jump into the pit or get sliced in half by the pendulum, he faces an identical outcome–death. The narrator finally comes to the realization that ultimate salvation must come from outside himself. The moment he gives up and commits himself to the final descent into the pit, an arm reaches out and saves him. Likewise, humans have been sentenced to death. They are lost, wandering around unable to save themselves.

The titles included The People of the Abyss (1903), which offered a scathing critique of capitalism; White Fang (1906), a popular tale about a wild wolf dog becoming domesticated; and John Barleycorn (1913), a memoir of sorts that detailed his lifelong battle with alcohol.

These stories have their similarities and differences but a main similarity is their themes. In the Cherokee creation story animals lived in the sky and a few of the animals shaped the earth after the beetle brought it out of the water. God created the earth and everything in it in only six days within the European creation story. A West African story explains how a minor god created the earth then humans after having too much to drink. The Greeks creation story tells about Chaos giving birth to the earth, sky and underworld.
