Secondary characters were: Sydney Greenstreet as Mr. Ferrari, Peter Lorré as Ugaté, and Conrad Viedt as Major Estassa. The lighting and camera work in the movie could be described as
nothing short of amazing. Because it was a black and white film, it was extremly important, because It set the mood so well. I believe that because of the filming of the movie being so close to the events in Casablanca during the war the costuming was dead on. The time .....

The Cask Of Amontillado
Number of words: 1588 - Number of pages: 6.... also the descriptions of the cave, the low arches that hover over Fortunato and Montresor, the walls lined with human remains, and the insufferably damp atmosphere cause a feeling of terror to escalate for the reader. The descent down into the vaults is reminiscent of Dante's "Inferno," going down into the depths of hell. Through Poe's descriptions, the reader can feel the dripping dampness, smell the "foulness" of the air" (Poe, 114), see the eerie glow of the flambeaux, touch the crusty nitre which "hangs like moss upon the vaults (Poe, 1148), and hear the "l .....

Handmaids Tale
Number of words: 585 - Number of pages: 3.... holding up on plump finger.ˇ±(93), aunts ask such questions, which leads the women to think the way the society wants them to think. ˇ°Her fault, her fault, her fault, we chant in unison.ˇ±(94), and the women repeats the answer out loud as a whole as if they were young kindergartners, and by doing so, they are being influenced and brainwashed.

The Red Badge Of Courage 2
Number of words: 776 - Number of pages: 3.... He has no basis for thinking what does half the time. Henry has been raised in an area where his physical and emotional limits have not been tested. The war gives him an opportunity to do so. It is very important for him to feel like he can succeed in the world; and he puts emphasis on the tests he is undergoing. I think that Henry's analytical nature is his best attribute. A good mental stature is the basis for a good person.
The setting to this story is key. In the beginning of the story, the setting is the bank of a river, and that represents the jou .....

Huckleberry Finn
Number of words: 1502 - Number of pages: 6.... noting they are "nice split-bottom chairs, and perfectly sound, too-not bagged down in the middle and busted, like an old basket"(111). It is apparent Huck is more familar with busted chairs than sound ones, and he appreciates the distinction.
Huck is also more familiar with flawed families than loving, virtuous ones, and he is happy to sing the praises of the people who took him in. Col. Grangerford "was a gentleman all over; and so was his family"(116). The Colonel was kind, well-mannered, quiet and far from frivolish. Everyone wanted to be around him, and .....

Blakes London
Number of words: 989 - Number of pages: 4.... on this commercial aspect of London. As he moves on in his poem he also refers to the "charter'd" Thames, he is telling us in this second line that even a river which is a force of nature, is owned in London. When Blake says that he sees "marks of weakness, marks of woe" in "every face" he meets, he means that he can see how this commercialism is affecting everyone rich and poor.
Yet, despite the divisions that the word charter'd suggests, the speaker contends that no one in London, neither rich or poor, escapes a pervasive sense of misery and entrapment. .....

Deeper Philosophical Meanings
Number of words: 733 - Number of pages: 3.... god himself. He encourages all to let out their true nature. As a god in ancient Greece, he stood for wine and drunkenness, ecstasy, sexual being, dance, and madness. It is hinted many times throughout the reading that Dionysus has a revenge motive. It is as if he wants to punish the population of Thebes for not taking his true power seriously. When he appeared on Earth, he could have made himself look like an all powerful god, but instead took on the form of a deviant youth and a weakling. He is irrational and one can pick up a sense of his wrath toward the peo .....
