I believe like many strange occurrences that happen people instantaneously begin to conversant; calling him crazy and spreading rumors about him. Reverend Hooper. Though, confesses neither his own outlandish look nor the traumatized and inquisitive muttering of the people. The people sensed an undisputable wretchedness and inexplicableness in his words when he spoke.…
It was the late 1600’s and people of strong religion in Salem, Massachusetts were becoming oddly stricken by recent events regarding the practice of witchcraft. Through this period of time twenty people were executed due to mere assumption to have been involved in witchcraft or Devil worship. Living through these events and making accounts of them were two men by the names, Cotton Mather and John Hale. Both Cotton Mather and John Hale, influential Puritan Ministers, were supporters of the Salem Witch Trials which took place for two years between 1692 and 1693 and, had both written two very influential pieces detailing them, Mather's "Wonders of the Invisible World" and, Hale's "A Modest Inquiry into the Nature of Witchcraft". Through similar and contrasting rhetorical style and device the two proved their separate messages of the trials, Mather's being that the…
“We shall need hard study if it comes to tracking down the Old Boy.” As Reverend Hale spoke these words he became a dynamic character in The Crucible. He was an intellectual, confident man, who became a desperate minister in the end. The three strongest characteristics of Reverend Hale’s change are his self-confidence, his reliance on knowledge, and his desire to save people.…

To begin, both stories have the same concept of people fighting then certain people ending up together. Ermengarde and Ambrose want to get marries but Mr. Vandergelder does not want them to. So they sneak off to New York, where they end up seeing him and Harmonia Gardens. Mr. Vandergelder sees them, he also sees Barnaby, Cornelius, Minnie, and Ms. Malloy. What Mr. Vandergelder does not know is that Barnaby and Cornelius were at Ms. Malloy’s shop earlier when he was in the shop also. Cornelius hid in a closet and Barnaby hid under a table. This shows how both stories have many things that are the same, like how they all end up at Harmonia Gardens at the same time. This happens in both stories and those are just a few of the very many there are.…
4. As time passes, how do people treat Mr. Hooper? Consider the actions of children and of the dying. Why do you think they treat him that way?…
The main difference that was apparent to me from these two books was their style. I think Frederick Douglass and Harriet Jacobs were trying to reach different audiences with their autobiographies and had to write accordingly.…
Most Edgar Allen Poe stories contain a haunting and eerie tone and this short story proves no exception. “The Fall of the House of Usher” revolves around the narrator's childhood friend, Roderick Usher.

“The Raven” and “The Fall of The House of Usher” by Edgar Allen Poe both share a common plot but have different thematic meanings and insights. Both short stories reveal how each character handles their problems coping with death. Both short stories have a similar insight to personal problems. In my opinion, Roderick is also like his mansion. Only outside he doesn’t seem too healthy.…
The first difference in the two readings is that Ida and Tom were treated differently by their masters. Ida’s master, Marse, was very fair to his slaves. On the other hand, Tom’s master was not as generous. In addition, Tom was being sold as a way to pay off the master’s debts. The fact that Tom was being sold, triggered the conflict in the story. After his mother heard of the master’s idea, she and her son fled towards Canada, dodging slave catchers. In contrast, Ida did not have to deal with such difficult circumstances and the like. In conclusion, because Tom and Ida were treated exactly opposite from each contributed to the unalike situations in both stories.…
One main difference is that Mary and Joy reacts differently to how their sons act. “Well, at least now you know how bad it feels and you will stay away from drinking” (Moore 62). When Joy finds out that Wes was smoking and drinking, she doesn't punish him, she only says that she hopes that he learned his lesson. Joy takes a different approach with the author; “my mother had begun to threaten me with military school if I didn't get my grades and discipline together” (Moore 54). Joy took the approach to threaten her son with consequences to discipline him and she did eventually send him to military school and by sending him to military school it taught him many lessons. It taught him to take responsibility for his actions and to be thankful of the pole that are making sacrifices for…
In both stories the author portrays a sense of horror to the reader. “The Fall of the House of Usher”, presents a creepier mood and is in the Gothic Literature genre. Gothic Literature is a genre that is represented by dark and gloomy mood. It is characterized by elements such as tortured characters, dramatic language, remote settings, and violence. “House Taken Over”, on the other hand presents a calmer mood through the actions of the characters and is in the genre of Magical Realism. Magical Realism is a genre that has more to do with fantasy than it does with fear. The differences between the two genres can explain the different attempts from the authors to portray fear to the reader.…
In both stories the authors focus on the main characters to interpret the theme of good vs. evil. Both of the main characters are seen in a positive light and come from strong family backgrounds. Although these two characters may share similarities, they also have their differences. The major difference is how they carry themselves once evil is presented. Although the two stories share similarities in what it means to be good, the differences between how evil is presented is…
