They based his leadership skills on the fact that he had congregated the boys toge! ther and his envious appearance. Ralph accepts his reign as the leader and begins giving orders.

A Night To Remember By Walter Lord
.... which would cause a ship to founder. I cannot conceive of any vital disaster happening to this vessel. Modern ship building has gone beyond that." (Pg.21) I chose this excerpt said by Captain Smith because it proves how people can be so ignorant when it comes to dealing with mother nature. The "Unsinkable" Titanic met its match when trying to go through a massive iceberg. This gruesome event in history makes people realize nowadays that mother nature is horrifying.
I believe the setting of the story is extremely important because if this incident of an extremely luxurious cruise ship happened in today's society, were tec .....

The setting of the dungeon is dark, dank, and generally unpleasant;(17) “The atmosphere was intolerably close,(18)...It was a wall, seemingly of stone masonry(19)--very smooth, slimy, and cold,(20)...The ground was moist and slippery” (Poe 3(21)).(22) Poe's dungeon is somewhat stereotypical; it is exactly as one would imagine, and the eloquent words describing it add an involving sense of realism. This setting also is typical of a grave; death and burial are some(23) of the major themes of the story. This gravelike feeling also makes the na .....

(Hawthorne 174) Later in the story Pearl refuses to acknowledge her mother because of the fact that she is not wearing the scarlet letter. "Seen in the brook, once more, was the shadowy wrath of Pearl's image, crowned and girdled with flowers, but stamping it's foot, wildly gesticulating, and, in the midst of all, still pointing it's small forefinger at Hester's bosom."

A Eulogy For Gatsby
.... that woman’s husband heard a horrible rumor, which placed Gatsby in the drivers seat. The man then finds Gatsby and shoots him. I wish, like so many others, though they can not come today, that the truth be told earlier, so we could still be partying at Gatsby’s house as we have so many times before.
The parties which filled the whole community with joy and anticipation, would be hosted by the only man that could possibly pull off such an extravagant party week in and week out. The point that Gatsby did not even know half the people at the party is beside the point, it was just the essence of such effort that went into ho .....
