"I had bought my ticket and was waiting for the LA bus when all of a sudden I saw the cutest little Mexican girl in slacks come cutting across my sight. Her breasts stuck straight out and true; her little flanks looked delicious; her hair was long and lustrous black; and her eyes were great big blue things with timidities inside. O gruesome life, how I moaned and pleaded, and then I got mad and realized I was pleading with a dumb little Mexican wench and I told her so” (p. 80) This quote makes clear Sal’s intentions with this woman, an .....

.... story is “The Cask of Amontillado.” The main character, Montresor, who is vengeful, intelligent, and fakes sincerity, causes the death of Fortunato. “The Cask of Amontillado” starts out with Montresor, the narrator, saying, “The thousand injuries of Fortunato I had borne as I best could; but when he ventured upon insult, I vowed revenge.” Simply by reading the first sentence of the story, it is easy to see that Montresor is vengeful and plans to get “revenge” on Fortunato. Montresor also has a coat of arms which is, “A huge human foot d’or, in a field azure; the foot crushes a serpent rampant whose fangs are imbedded in the heel,” with a motto of, “Nemo me .....

.... wrote collections of short stories told in the third person, and the intrusion of the first person narrator in these two pieces is unsettling. In both instances, though, the reader is left with a much more absorbing story; one in which the reader is, in fact, a main character. With the exception of "My Old Man", which is entirely in the first person , and "On the Quai at Smyrna", which is only possibly in the first person, there is just one instance in In Our Time in which a character speaks in the first person. It occurs in "Big Two-Hearted River: Part II", an intensely personal story which completely immerses the reader in the actions and thoughts of Nick Ad .....

The Hemingway man thus presented is a man of action, of self-discipline and self-reliance, and of strength and courage to confront .....

.... other in the story. This scene is where Hester Prynne's sin first appears in the novel. The “Goodwives” of the congregation discuss Hester's crime of adultery: “This woman has brought shame upon us all, and ought to die” (Hawthorne 59). The scaffold allows Hester Prynne's sin to be publicized and marveled at by the New Englanders. It is here that the reader becomes aware of Hester being shunned as an outsider, when she is placed on the scaffold: “Knowing well her part, she ascended a flight of wooden steps, and was thus displayed to the surrounding multitude, at about the height of a mans shoulders above the street . . . . The unhappy culprit sustained her .....

.... It all happened when Ralph interrupted us. I shouted a warning, "You go away Ralph. This is my end and my tribe. You leave me alone." (p.176) He did not heed my warning and continued to interrupt, so I had to protect my interests. Eventually a brawl arose. I defended myself and unintentionally cut Ralph as our spears locked together. ‘My spear slid down his spear and cut him on accident.' (p.177) In a situation like this, Ralph's spear could have easily slipped down and cut me instead. An individual is not controlled by another individual. As for influencing the boys to kill Simon and Piggy, the boys were uncontrollable. On the night that Simon di .....
