    Book Review: Isaac’s Storm Introduction: Isaac’s Storm: A Man, a Time, and the Deadliest Hurricane in History, written by Erik Larsen, is a book which may very well be called one-of-a-kind, as it describes one of the most disastrous of the natural calamities of the world-the Galveston hurricane of 1900 and the events which precede it. The author has carefully analysed the hurricane, scrutinized the impact caused by the actions of several people prior to the hurricane that ultimately resulted in massive destruction (Larson, 2011). He has pointed out with precision how the wrongful thought processes of that time led to such a tragedy. Review: The author has pointed out the fact that the thoughtless actions of some men are mostly to blame for the tragedy.

  • An Analysis Of Mcknight Malmar's The Storm

    Janet: Oblivious to the Obvious Due to Mental Manipulation Janet, the main character in McKnight Malmar’s short story “The Storm,” is not only married to a murderer, but also a victim of mental and emotional manipulation. Janet is gullible to Ben’s suspicious actions and does not question him at all, despite obvious red flags. The fact that Janet believes that the storm is making her see things that are not real, instead of putting together the evidence that her husband has displayed, is proof that Janet is used to questioning the validity of her own perception regularly. Ben takes advantage of Janet’s naivety and codependency to the point where she does not question him about anything, but instead, questions her own sanity. It is evident from the very beginning of the story that Janet relies on Ben for comfort.

The hurricane is personified as a monstropolous beast, a form that emphasizes the intensity and destructiveness of the hurricane. The figurative language used in the passage conveys the theme of nature´s severity and power, as well as the vulnerability of human beings in the face of such a beast. The phrase ¨rolling the houses, rolling the people in the houses along with other timbers¨ suggests that the hurricane is indifferent to human life and is destructive to everything in its path. The final sentence ¨The sea walking the earth with a heavy heel¨ again personifies the hurricane and shows the
