Grant at Appomattox Court House in 1865, meaning the North defeated the South and won the treacherous war over slavery. In Michael Shaara's historical fiction novel The Killer Angels, the reader follows the disastrous three day course of the Battle Of Gettysburg; the battle of which many historians believe was the downfall for the Confederate Army and the turning point of the war. In addition to the recent loss of Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson, the absence of Jeb Stuart and his leaving the entire Rebel army blind, and General Lee's heart condition, the biggest factor for the loss at Gettysburg was Lee's order to make a frontal assault

A picture is worth a thousand words. In “Sinners of an Angry God”, Jonathan Edwards captures an image of hell in the Puritan’s mind. Creating a sense of fear during the Great Awakening, Edwards urges the parishioners to accept God as their Savior and avoid sinful behavior. Edwards passionately tries to persuade the Puritans to realize their eternal danger of sin by using fiery diction that creates a fear of hell, and dramatizing human weakness through a primal human fear.

Those are all descriptions of describing her in a direct way.

As the reader, we see both the woman fight for and prove her inequality, and we also see the Marquis fight to maintain his dominance over his fiancée as well as over all women of the time.

Cornell Woolrich’s short story, “It Had to Be Murder” recounts the events of a temporarily disabled man and his journey involving isolation and voyeurism. In the beginning of the narrative, the main character is described as displaying the characteristics of a “peeping tom”. Because of his injury and inability to be amused by anything else, he begins to habitually watch the personal and intimate details of other people through their windows. This habitual watching then leads him to the main conflict of the story. Though the narrator’s voyeurism may be seen as obsessive and somewhat delusional it evidently bought closure and justice to another person’s life.
