Once the reader reads that there is money involved, that is probably going to be the motive for any murder, and this case is no different. Mr. Jefferson was going to split 50,000 pounds between his daughter-in-law and son-in-law as inheritance since his children had died in an airplane accident. Once Ruby Keene is in the picture and Mr. Jefferson grows fond of her to the point where he wants to adopt Ruby, the money would go to her.

  • John Swales Concept Of Discourse Community

    728 Words  | 3 Pages

This kind of poetry frequently consists of free verses, and is difficult to define because of its many possibilities. Although contemporary poetry does not employ any rhyme or poetic meter due to the use of free verse, contemporary poets implement poetic devices to develop compelling expressions that please their readers. Jane Kenyon, a contemporary poet, exploits various literary devices such as similes, imagery, repetition, and metaphors to communicate personal topics like the inevitability of mortality, life
