I was quickly greeted by the owner Mrs. Perry “I will be staying for two weeks, is that okay?” I asked. “That's quite fine,” she replied. She quickly helped me get settled into my room, room 4A. As the time of my stay at the Perry Bed and Breakfast grew on so did my suspicion. It all started late one night when I heard a strange noise coming from the down the hall in room 2A. I quietly almost creep like peeked out of my door to look down the hall. Nothing appeared out of the ordinary so, I closed the door and went back to sleep.
The next night around the same time as the night before I heard another strange noise, but this time coming for room 2B. I quickly jumped out of bed and peeked out the door, nothing again, so I walked down the hall to room 2B, and turned the knob. The door slowly creeped open so I entered the room. Nothing, the room was completely empty no one was inside. …show more content…

I walked down to room 3B and quietly opened the door. Again nothing, but before leaving I heard the strange noise again. It sounded like it was coming from the wall. I carefully placed my ear against the wall the strange noise grew louder and louder and slower and slower. As I pushed my ear closer towards the wall I heard the noise again, but this time I heard THUMP, THUMP, THUMP. It sounded exactly like a beating heart. Startled, I quickly jumped away from the wall, then again I placed my ear on the wall and nothing the sound had totally faded

1984 Literary Criticism

1971 Words | 8 Pages

Many a literary critic claims that the strongest aspect of the book 1984 by George Orwell is its plot. Indeed, there is some merit in this conclusion, as the entire purpose of Orwell’s writing of this book was not to create a literary classic, but to warn the public about the dangers of communism if it got out of hand, and what better way to do this than to write an engaging plot? Others may claim that 1984’s greatest strength is in its character development. This aspect, too, is quite strong in the book, as not only are the minor characters effected in serving the dystopian theme, but the major characters are believable and very human in their failings. Winston’s transformation from an oppressed office worker to revolutionary and finally
