    “Hunters in the Snow” by Tobias Wolff starts out Tub waiting for his friends to pick him up. The suspense starts with rising action by his friends being over an hour late. I chose “Hunters in the Snow to be the more suspense than “The Cask of the Amontillado.” Hunters keeps the reader on edge by displaying three different personalities. Confrontation due to human nature. The reader may question whether they are going to show up at all. This is an example of rising action. When Frank and Kenny show up they most run over Tub. Frank and Kenny both team up against Tub. The friends are going hunting together and with the two against the other one it builds suspense of what will happen in the woods. While hunting, Kenny lets out he has a secret with Frank, Tub wants to know what the secret is. Kenny is obnoxious and dangerous with the rifle. He shoots the pole for no reason other than hating it, then he shoots the dog, and then aims the gun at Tub. This is leading to climax of the story. The reader may wonder if Tub is going to die at this point in the story and his friends leave him there to be found, or is Tub going to defend himself and shoot Kenny. Could Frank and Tub leave wounded Kenny or bury him? This is another rising action in the climax. The three friends tell the owner of the land that the dog has been shot. This is another example of suspense will the owner kill them for killing the dog or will he let them go? Kenny hasn’t told his friends the owner had asked him to shoot the dog, is how…

    Maria Doria Russell wrote The Sparrow in such a stunningly clear but complex way that the reader will want to keep reading the book. She presents the timeline of the story through presenting two story-lines. The first of which begins in the future where we are presented with the last survivor of a space-mission gone wrong with a sickly man, in such a devastated state of sickness and unbearable wounds which hooks the reader into wanting to find out what exactly happened to him- as does the rest of the world in the book. Then the follow-up of the backstory of this Jesuit Priest who is a wizard with grasping language and how he got to end up on a space voyage. It is through these alternating shifts between the future and the past there is a build-up…

    In the film of “The Birds the main characters consisted of Melanie Davis, Mitch Brenner, Annie Hayworth, Cathy Brenner, and Lydia Brenner. The film took place in the 1960s in two parts of California. The way the birds first attacked in the film was similar to the way they first attacked in the short story, in the film a sea gull swooped down and scratched Melanie Davis’ head. The main characters were very concerned with the birds behavior after the first attack and they took all of the signs and warnings seriously.

    • 5 Pages

    Shakespeare and Inarritu explore the idea that human life and suffering is ultimately meaningless in the play King Lear, and the film Birdman, through the theme that the inevitability of death makes life meaningless. Using a solemn tone, both Shakespeare and Inarritu have indicated that their story lines possess tragedies, and suffering. Whereas Inarritu has used a modern America setting to show how human life is ultimately meaningless, Shakespeare has used England in the 700th BC, while they are in the middle of a war. Similarly, both Shakespeare and Inarritu have set King Lear, and Birdman in a time period where one man’s life and suffering doesn’t mean anything, as in both era’s many other people are suffering and in pain as well. Inarritu…
