The Power And The Glory
.... Power and the Glory” evoke certain feelings in the reader. In the scene when the whiskey priest was put the crowded jail, for having liquor on him, Greene makes the scene so horrible that you can’t help but feel sorry for the priest. As Kenneth Allott said, “The crowded unseen figures in the dark seem like shapes from a Dore hell.”(182). In the scenes when the priest is traveling from town to town, the setting is very rough. Through dense forests and complete darkness, he travels and again, the reader feels pity for someone he doesn’t know but feels connected to because of being human. As Kenneth Allott said, “There is a blank .....

Mary Shelley's Frankenstein
.... He claims he is the victim of his wrongdoing and affirms: "You, who call Frankenstein your friend, seem to have a knowledge of my crimes and his misfortunes. But in detail which he gave you of them, he could not sum up the hours and months of misery which I endured, wasting in impotent passions."

Hunting My Own "Bear"
.... o' clock in the morning and I was thinking to myself: "What am I doing here, when everyone else is sleeping comfortably in their beds." In addition, I was the youngest and the most ill-prepared, so the whole day was just learning how to do this and that, and what not to do. The following days got easier and easier for me just getting used to the schedule, but my uncle had this trepidating aura that surrounded him all the time, which made it hard to approach and ask him for advice. So usually, if I had a question I would just wait for him to look at me(which sometimes took like a whole hour)and then kind of signaled using my f .....

Haircut: Irony
.... Stair's voice on the phone and set up a phony meeting with Julie then chased her down the street when she showed up. The fact that Whitey narrates these stories in first person doesn't soften Jim's awful practical jokes but shows the barber's equally insensitive ignorance making Jim's character all the more plausible.
Most citizens at the barbershop and pool hall admire Jim's "jokes" and even participate in ridiculing some of the secondary characters Lardner introduces in the story. By contrast, the secondary characters are sensitive characters (Doc Stair, Julie Gregg, and Paul) and they are the ones which stand out in th .....

Hawthorne’s words can accurately be referred to as very sensuous and passionate, although not overtly sexual. Hawthorne states, “The boughs were tossing heavily above their heads; while one solemn old tree groaned dolefully to another, as if telling the sad story of the pair th .....
