The smell of the rotting corpses builds up more when it is hot. When it rains‚ the trenches erode so much we constantly have to enforce it. The trench does not have drainage‚ so we are forced to operate in waist-high water. Many of the comrades get infected with gruesome diseases such as the Trench Foot‚ as a result of staying soaked in dirty water for too long. The trenches are infested with mice‚ insects‚ diseases‚ and human corpse. Even worse‚ the trenches smell like chemicals

Psychoanalysis teaches that ignorance "is not a passive state of absence-a simple lack of information: it is an active dynamic of negation‚ an active refusal of information" (Felman 29-30).

Lord of the Flies is a dystopian novel by Nobel Prize-winning English author William Golding about a group of British boys stuck on an uninhabited island who try to govern themselves with disastrous results.

In this essay‚ I would like to discuss one of Robert Browning’s more unsettling poems‚ "Porphyria’s Lover." The poem is a dramatic monologue of sorts‚ though different from Browning’s most famous dramatic monologue‚ "My Last Duchess." In contrast to "My Last Duchess" in which the Duke regales a Count’s envoy with tales of his former duchess‚ Porphyria’s lover is not addressing any other living person. Of course‚ this makes the monologue of Porphyria’s lover all the more dramatic. In keeping with

story‚ “The Overcoat”‚ is one example of these Slavic folk based stories. While the majority of “The Overcoat” is an ironic tale about a simple clerk whose obsession with his overcoat eventually causes his death‚ the ending of the story‚ where a corpse is believed to begin haunting the town of St. Petersburg is perhaps the most interesting and controversial part of the tale. To readers in the twenty-first century‚ who are unfamiliar with Slavic folk beliefs‚ the ending might be viewed as bizarre
