However their power would in fact be challenged by a bizarre figure known as Martin. In their encounter, Vaca would learn that appearances can be deceiving.

He is in love with his wife's’ cousin and is haunted by the decision he must make between his happiness and his duties. “The Hint of an Explanation” deals with young Martin’s inability to understand religious values. Throughout the story he contemplates giving up a seemingly insignificant wafer in exchange for a train set. “The Stamp Collection” is the story a young boy, Karas, who wishes to collect stamps against his father's will. When his stamp collection is stolen, he assumes his life long friend is the thief.

A)The story is told in relation to the kidnapping in the middle of the story. C) I found my answer in Paragraph 7, which states ,'hey, little boy!" says bill, "would you like to have a bag of candy and a nice ride?" This quote means that bill was trying to get the boy in side the car so that he could be kidnapping the boy.

The narrator is given a sense of oppression from the beginning of the story by keeping a hidden diary from her husband as “a relief to her mind.” Throughout the story her true thoughts are hidden from the readers and her husband, which gives the story a symbolic perspective.

In the story, All the Missing Girls, written by Megan Miranda, the main character is Nicolette Farrell. The main setting is Nicolette’s hometown Cooley Ridge, North Carolina. In the beginning of the story, Nicolette’s gets a very vague letter from her father, saying he saw “that girl”, this letter alone is enough to make her drive from Philadelphia all the way to her father in North Carolina, but she also has to get him to sign legal paperwork and sell his house. The main problem in the book is when a girl goes missing, Annaleise Carter, 10 years after Nicolette’s best friend, Corinne Prescott, had the same thing happen to her, Nicolette has to figure out what d the night Corinne went missing. The solution is as everyone is searching for Annaleise, Nicolette's father and brother try to keep their secrets safe, Nicolette finds out what really happened the night Corinne went missing. Corinne walked out in the street, Nicolette ran her over, and her father, Patrick, covered her dead body with cement in the unfinished garage. At the end of the story after Annaleise Carter’s body is found and the investigation is over, Nicolette, her high school boyfriend, and her father all live together and the real story of what happened to Corinne, well that’s their secret.

In “The Story of an Hour”, the main character Mrs. Mallard, gets news that her husband has been killed in an accident. Her sister delays telling her the news because she has a bad heart, but when she finally tells the news, Mrs. Mallard wants to be left alone. They think that she is very upset by her husband’s death, but

Whitehead (1969 - present) began writing this manuscript with the idea that he could incorporate an elevator inspector into a mystery novel. In an interview

After the murder, the narrator hears a knock at the door. He proceeds to open the door to find that it is three policemen, who were there because of a disturbance call. The police tells the narrator for why they are there, which a neighbor heard a scream in the night. When the narrator hears this, he tells the police that it was his scream. Once the narrator welcomes the police to search the home, the narrator goes as far as leading police into the room where he had committed a murder and hid the body. The narrator cleverly comes up with an idea to hide the murder, “The old man, I mentioned, was absent in the country. I took my visitors all over the house. I bade them search-search well. I led them, at length, to his chamber” (Poe, 887). The narrator shows the police that there was nothing abnormal in the house, he proceeds to talk to them while feeling at ease.

The tone of this story is one of fear, regret, and guilt. The story first leaves the reader with impression that it may be a recount of the life of a daughter who was lost due to neglect. Soon it is evident

This all started when Martin started using the elevator. He always saw her staring at him, so he became uncomfortable and saw her as if she was threatening. The lady wore dirty clothes and had an appearance as if she was poor. “She wore a threadbare green coat that ballooned around her; her ankles bulged above her dirty sneakers, Martin was sure he felt it sink under her weight” (Sleator 28). To show this scene, the author uses specific detail. This helps lead to the theme by showing how he noticed her from her appearance and the way she acted that she wasn’t innocent. Martin is afraid because he isn’t sure if this lady is a danger to him. Another incident where Sleator used specific detail is “Coming home from school the day after they moved in, Martin tried the stairs. But they were almost as bad. Windowless, shadowy, with several dark landings where the light bulbs had burned out” (Sleator 27). This showed specific detail, while still showing the theme, always be aware of your

Someone from today's society, would be confused by the fact that, how could she confuse the identity of Martin Guerre and Arnaud du Tilh for any length of time. Simple things like height, personality and even their first languages, since they all differed. Should have triggered her to know it was not the real Martin. The only  thing that  Arnaud du Tilh and Martin Guerre had in common is that  both Martin and Arnaud was unhappy or had become very bored with the life they were both were born into, to remain where they were.

I chose to do my analysis on the short story, “The Story Of An Hour”. The themes I see in this story is the quest for identity/coming of age, romantic/love, birth, and death. It is about a woman named Mrs. Mallard. She was an elderly lady and had a heart complications. Her sister Josephine and her husband’s friend Richards had to break the news to her that her husband, Brently Mallard, has been killed in a railroad disaster. Mrs. Mallard was sorrowful and sobbed in her sisters’ arms. After her grieving process, she wanted to be alone, so she went to her room and locked herself in. As she sat in the window, she seem to be calmer and accepted her husband’s death. She was not distressed of what had happened. She began to say the words “free” and her heart

Moreover, he tries to defend his sanity by explaining how wise and cautious he was as he was preparing for the murder. Every night he checked on the old man to make sure he got everything right and get ready to execute his plan. The narration lacks of a concrete explanation of the person or place to which it is addressed, which leaves much room for interpretation for the readers. What we can infer from the story is it is not addressed to the police officers since the narrator says he was successful in making them satisfied. Finally, the climax of the story comes as the revelation of the dead body hidden under the planks. Because the story is told as a memento, our estimation might be that the narrator is addressing a court official or personage who may influence over the judgment of the narrator. Therefore, the story that the narrator is telling is most accurately realized as an appeal for mercy rather than just being an appeal to be thought sane.

Martin is searching for a solution to his problems that will keep all his loved ones safe. Martin Meadows is an ideal husband. He works hard in his office and his home. Martin is amazingly efficient, tending to the garden, decorating for Christmas, cooking for his children, and pulling their lose teeth. He longs for the days back in Alabama when his family was happy and alcohol was not a part of their lives. From the start of the story Martin is weary from the disappointment he has encountered in the changes seen in his wife.

1. Throughout the story suspense is aroused and maintained excellently. This is achieved by the character the author creates. Mr. Martin is characterized as a neat and cautious man, who never took a smoke or a drink in his life. Our suspense is aroused when the author states that it has been “a week to the day since Mr. Martin had decided to rub out Mrs. Ulgine Barrows”. This arouses our suspense because we are told Mr. Martin is planning to murder this woman. The suspense is maintained with Mr. Martin’s thoughts. We as an audience are given his thoughts through the use of the 3rd person omniscient point of view. His thoughts are mostly on the issue on his dislike of Mrs. Barrows. Because of this, he
