In the poem “Perfect for any Occasion,” Alberto Ríos explores the idea that there are fortunate and unfortunate people in the world using an extended metaphor of good pies and bad pies. The fortunate people don 't need to work hard for luxuries and attention. However, there are the unfortunate people who had to put up a fight for what the fortunate people have, but no fortune or attention ever came of it.

    Upset by this, Marquez desires his readers to realize how people should not place blame on objects, but rather accepts the responsibility for their lack of effort in the prevention of calamity and death. The Vicario brothers claims, “We’re going to kill Santiago Nasar,” multiple times to the townspeople (69). Despite their clear threats, the people doubt they would follow through with their claims, their disregard indicated in responses like “Those poor boys won’t kill anybody,” (105). After Nasar’s death, the townsfolk blame an object for Nasar’s death rather than their dismissal of the proclaimed intent of the Vicario brothers to kill him.

    960 Words  | 4 Pages

    In this excerpt “from The Tell-tale Heart,” Edgar Allan Poe creates the supercilious character of an unnamed narrator through indirect characterization. Using the components of character motivation, internal thoughts, and actions, Poe portrays a story about deception and reveals the feelings of superiority, and ultimately guilt, that is invoked by the pretense of innocence. The narrator’s motivations can be identified through his internal thoughts and his actions. For example, both components are recognized when the narrator says “while I myself, in the wild audacity of my perfect triumph, placed my own seat upon the very spot beneath which reposed the corpse of the victim.”
