Have you ever been so annoyed while in a stressful situation. Well while we take a look at the book The War Of The World's by H.G.Wells we will experience what it is like to be in this situation. The two main characters we will experience this with will be the narrator who is a main character in the story and then also the curate who is also a main character. The narrator and the curate managed to find themselves in a sticky situation. They are currently stuck inside a house and outside this house are martians who are patrolling outside of the house and the narrator and the curate are inside. The curate is not being extremely helpful in the matter that he is losing control of himself at a very bad time. The curate as we know is a religious man so from the diction that he is using as he is losing his mind, it’s in a way that he is talking to God asking him why they are being punished. While the curate is doing this the narrator is becoming more and more annoyed because he knows that if he doesn't do something about the curate freaking out then they will surely be discovered and killed by the martians. So the narrator knocks the curate unconscious and this keeps them from being discovered. In this section of the passage the narrator is beginning to be annoyed with the curate and increasing in irritation with him. The narrator shows his irritation with the curate by saying “nothing i could do would moderate his speech”, which means as the curate began to speak louder the…

I think that A Doll’s House is a drama. It is a drama because it closely resembles real-life. It in fact resembles the life that many women had to face not too long ago when men were still in control of everything, including their wives.

There is in fact only one story being told and it began with the…

Monsters have been part of human history since humans exist. Some argue that the monster in "The Tempest" is a clear product of the time Shakespeare decided to write this book. Although it is true that the inspiration along with the way of thinking is strongly affected by the time the story was wrote, it is also important to highlight that the monsters created in this story are very similar to what Stephen T. Asma narrates in his essays "Alexander fights Monsters in India" and "Monsters and the…

This blood-sucking vampire is now an iconic symbol of horror, whose fame stretches far beyond the covers of the novel. Written at the precipice of the turn of the century, the novel touches upon anxieties of a society that was changing at an uncomfortably rapid place.
