Truman Capote’s tone for pages 103-104 reflects a feeling of perplexity and anecdotic. The reason of perplexity exists in consideration of being given details on the Clutter family being murdered. The apologia of the anecdotic tone exists in view of how Capote gives a vivid description on how the murders actually happened and how the assassins left them and what their intentions were. These two pages make the reader feel the irresolution of the crime scene.

Kevin O’Rourke The Strange Death of Silas Deane History is never set in stone, nor is covered by the shadows of murky waters, history is in the “eye of the beholder” meaning it is the sole purpose of the individual and the job of the historians to interpret documents such as letters, decrees, bills, speeches, and photos to visualize the events that have occurred in the past. History, in context, is the study of the past, but looking much deeper into the past reveals that history is much deeper, there are hidden occurrences of nettle and happiness in which the people of today can relate too. The backgrounds and various cultures of today can interpret history in different ways all rooting back to their culture religion, or moral ideology,

Harvey also crated suspense by withholding information from us the readers.

Compare the backgrounds of Jefferson and Paine; did Paine have an advantage or disadvantage by not being born in the colonies? Explain. Paine had the advantage of being able to see the issues from the outside and from a lower point of society. To be able to understand a bigger group of people is far more of an advancement than to always target the smaller group. Which was the cause of the colonies not wanting to be under rule.

This pattern suggests that complete honesty and openness leads one to the only fair consequence for wrongdoing: death. Even Victor dies only once he finishes telling his full story to Walton. The exception to this pattern, Henry Clerval’s death, reflects an undeserved death. Henry lives a righteous, selfless life, so no guilt burdens him, and the effects of Victor’s mistakes haunt him. Goal(s) for audience understanding: I will begin with a short story about a time I was direct and honest with my sister, and I will briefly discuss the effects of my words.

Donna Tartt’s The Secret History tells the story of Richard Papen’s transfer from a small college in his hometown Plano, California, to an elite college in Vermont, Hampden College. During his first week, he becomes obsessively captivated by the five students in a highly selective Greek class and goes to extreme lengths to be accepted by the group’s members Henry Winter, Bunny Corcoran, Francis Abernathy, twins Charles and Camilla Macaulay, and their teacher Julian Morrow. This obsession and desire to please causes Richard’s involvement in two murders that distort his idea of morality. The novel is best analyzed by applying psychoanalytical and feminist theory to the characters with critical articles providing additional information and showing a different perspective. I have chosen to analyze the narrator, Richard Papen, the group leader, Henry Winter, and the only major female character, Camilla Macaulay.
