Although I did not elaborate as much as I could have, I believe the information and writing I presented shows I have an understanding of the novel and how to format an essay. The last prompt discusses objectivity and bias John Krakauer shows towards Chris throughout the novel. Although I believe I did a good job providing examples to answer the question, I could have been more simple and direct in my answer. Instead of going directly into my essay I took a longer time to establish my main point, which was that Krakauer, loses objectivity. I could have organized my answer better in that I could have integrated my first paragraph into my answer.
In Cold Blood Rhetorical Analysis Essay The cunning nonfiction novel ‘In Cold Blood’ by Truman Capote is a whirl of emotions. He manipulates the reader into feeling pathos for the killers, because he wants you to feel guilty. Capote is trying to make a point that the Criminal Justice System is flawed, and that the death penalty was unfair and unjustly. In pages 107-109, Dick and Perry’s relationship is starting to show flaws.

The“Brother,”or narrator is filled with guilt over his actions leading to the death of his little brother Doodle. In the beginning of the story, the narrator speaks in a very sad and depressed way by mentioning things like “the summer was dead...ibis lit in the bleeding tree..the oriole nest in the elm was intended and rocked back and forth like and empty cradle”(Hurst 1). The narrator sets a very sad and dreary mood that gives clues that maybe the narrator is guilty or confessing something. Right after, the narrator has a flashback “...as I sit in the cool, green draped parlor,...
The topic that I have chosen for my upcoming research paper is a comparison of the women in three literary works: Kate Chopin’s “The Story of an Hour,” Susan Glaspell’s Trifles, and Henrik Isben’s A Doll House. Specifically, I want to analyze the similarities between the five women—Louise Mallard, Minnie Wright, Mrs. Peters, Mrs. Hale, and Nora Helmer—such as their situations, motivations, and ultimately, the decisions at the end of their stories that stem from the same source: their society. I also want to compare the men in these stories, and how their similarities led to the stories’ outcomes just as much as the women’s. The decisions I am referring to are Louise’s death—which,
Attempting to solve the mystery on who is killing them; characters try and work together to solve and stop who is murdering them.

The story “A Jury of Her Peers” by Susan Glaspell is a devastating story that brought two women together to help find the true motive behind Minnie Foster’s decision to murder her husband. The main theme throughout this short story is the theme of connections; Glaspell uses symbolism, and diction to demonstrate this theme. Mrs. Peters and Mrs. Hale work together to connect several different pieces of evidence in order to find the truth behind Mr. Wright’s killing. Not only are Mrs. Peter’s and Mrs. Hale using the connecting theme to solve the murder of Mr. Wright, but they also use it through both of their individual connections to Minnie Foster. They connect to her through sympathy as they discover reasons that may have encouraged her want
The novel In Dubious Battle, written by John Steinbeck, describes the strike of workers caused by shortages in wages on the apple plantations. However, even though the basic plot is about how reds, represented by Max, Jim and others, lead the strike, the novel has a much deeper meaning. One of the main themes of the novel is the psychology of the group of men and how it can be manipulated, which is mainly done by Max. First of all, Max uses the anger of the workers towards the owners of the orchards in order to manipulate them. Even though he knows that the strike is going to fail, he doesn’t mention it to no one except for a small group of people including Jim and London.

Case: The Truth about the Mystery of Edwin Drood gather some of the most famous detectives of the literary world to complete the novel but following and decoding Dickens’s intentions. Theories are many but two mane currents of thought arise. One group of the investigators believes that the book is supposed to be a psychological thriller while the other one is inclined to define it a detective novel and argue that a surprising ending was what Dickens had in mind. The genre debate leads us again to different endings. If a detective novel, Dickens could be misleading his readers by casting suspicion on Jasper, and the killer could be anyone of the characters in the book.
All characters are accused and redeemed of guilt but the murderer is still elusive. Much to the shock of the readers of detective fiction of that time, it turns out that the murderer is the Watson figure, and the narrator, the one person on whose first-person account the reader 's’ entire access to all events depends -- Dr. Sheppard. In a novel that reiterates the significance of confession to unearth the truth, Christie throws the veracity of all confessions contained therein in danger by depicting how easily the readers can be taken in by
