That is what crossed Katagiri’s mind after everything he had heard from the nurse. He was indeed, confused. That night, Katagiri woke up to Frog sitting in the room where he was, under a dim light. At this scene, Frog seemed very calm and tired. Even after all the confusion of Katagiri, he still told Frog that he really intended to meet Frog in their meeting place the night he was shot, or left unconscious. Frog understood, and thanked Katagiri for the help he has done in order for Frog to be able to battle Worm. If you were in Katagiri’s place, you would probably ask, why are you thanking me when I’ve done nothing to help? That is what Katagiri replied to Frog after Frog thanked him. Frog, on the other hand, insisted that Katagiri was of …show more content…

After having read the story numerous times, I came up with different interpretations all the time. Yes, Katagiri is a man who is well off by himself, no parents, siblings to care for him, no own family, but is very independent because of his job. I believe that the whole story was merely in Katagiri’s head. And everything that had happened to him, such as meeting the frog and being shocked, was merely stories imagined and shared by someone who is already insane. Yes, I do believe that Katagiri is already insane. I think that throughout the duration of the whole story, Katagiri was in an asylum, and everything else was pure imagination or dreams, except for the part when he is conversing with the nurse, which is found towards the end of the story already. I’ve had this idea the 2nd or 3rd time I read this story, until I tried to analyse the line “the hospital room had no windows.” What kind of hospital doesn’t have windows? I figured maybe a mental hospital. Besides this, the manner by which the nurse entertained everything Katagiri had said while he was lying on bed, which is in no doubt ridiculous statements or questions was very patient and something not all nurses would do to patients such as Katagiri. Everything else in this short story was Katagiri’s
The return to reality was as painful as the return to consciousness after taking and anaesthetic. His body and brain ached with indescribable weariness, and he could not think of nothing to say or do that would arrest the mad flight of the moments He desperately wanted to run away with Mattie, but he could not leave because his practical sense told him it was not suitable to do so partly because of his responsibility to take care of Zeena.
Daphne went to check on her friend name Natalie to ask if she was okay. Daphne ask Natalie ‘’ are you okay?”, have they called your family? and responds back from Natalie said’’ no one tell me anything. The nurse said you not supposed to be here in the back. Daphne said “ she confused what’s going on and she is deaf. The nurse ask Daphne can you interpret for your friend Natalie and Daphne said’’ sure’’.

Hop Frog is mad that the king throws his wine in Trippetta’s face, so he sets up his plans for the masquerade. Furthermore, Hop Frog is vengeful because he does not think twice before putting his plan into action even if it means killing the king and his ministers: “The dwarf had scarcely made an end of his brief speech before the work of vengeance was complete” (Poe). Hop Frog does not care if his plan would end up killing the king and his ministers because they mistreated him and Trippetta. Since the king and his ministers were treating them very bad, Hop Frog wanted his revenge. Hop Frog is feeling proud of himself that he killed the king and his ministers.
"Hop Frog", by Edgar Allan Poe, is a short story in which the title character, after enduring much abuse by the king, gets revenge in the end. Hop Frog is not only the king's jester, but is also a handicapped dwarf. The king perpetually berates Hop Frog and plays practical jokes on his poor jester. At one point, king and his seven ministers summon Hop Frog before them so that he may give them ideas for an upcoming masquerade. The king forces him to drink wine (which Hop Frog always has an adverse reaction to drinking) and becomes very upset at him. Hop Frog is saved only by the intercession of Trippetta, a woman from Hop Frog's own land and his only true friend. Trippetta succeeds, but only after suffering great humiliation at the hands of the king. Nevertheless, Hop Frog gives the eight an idea for their masquerade disguises. After tarring them, covering them with flax, and chaining them together, they have the rough appearance of eight orangutans, and Hop Frog leads them into the masquerade. Here his vengeance plot unfolds, as he hoists the into the air and sets them on fire. He then makes his escape, probably with Trippetta and the two are never seen again. But this story is not just about escape from oppression. Instead, it is a love story, because Hop Frog’s entire course of action was inspired only by his love for Trippetta.
In one, a specimen-creating brute robs a pelican child’s life and her guardian trying to bring her back to life. In the other, a prince learns the value of his frog-turned-princess and sets out on a quest to find her. Joy Williams’s Baba Iaga and the Pelican Child and Alexander Afanasev’s The Frog Princess are both critical facets of the fairy tale genre. While initially it may seem that Williams preserved no elements from Afanasev’s tale, upon a closer glance, it is evident that the two tales’ similarities outnumber their differences. By incorporating a generous portion of the original story into his, Williams’s version brings forth an innovative arrangement of classic and new. As a result, William’s tale introduces features to the tale that mirror everyday life lessons while simultaneously maintaining qualities that are reflective of the definitional aspects of the fairy tale genre.

In the beginning of this story, one expects for the characters to follow the concepts that they represent. This story displays one man's journey to leave his home and comfort zone in order to fully explore his curiosity. He goes off into a forest and undergoes a life changing experience there. He encounters three different things that set him on the path to the journey of knowledge. This forest was symbolic of an assessment of strength, bravery, and survival. It took determination to survive in the forest and the young person entering into it would not emerge the same. Conversely, this story is more representative than realistic and the peril is of the character. This story is more of a vision or conscious daydream th...
Furthermore, Poe’s plot development added much of the effect of shocking insanity to “The Black Cat.” To dream up such an intricate plot of perverseness, alcoholism, murders, fire, revival, and punishment is quite amazing. This story has almost any plot element you can imagine a horror story containing. Who could have guessed, at the beginning of the story, that narrator had killed his wife? The course of events in “The Black Cat’s” plot is shockingly insane by itself! Moreover, the words in “The Black Cat” were precisely chosen to contribute to Poe’s effect of shocking insanity. As the narrator pens these he creates a splendidly morbid picture of the plot. Perfectly selected, sometimes rare, and often dark, his words create just the atmosphere that he desired in the story.
His altered state of consciousness was a necessity to regain control of is his life, where he got the necessary break from not only work, but also family expectations. Just like the narrator in “The Yellow Wallpaper,” the emotional tendencies are evident throughout the whole story; however, at the end when he dies in this new state, he is finally content with his life and the conflicts are resolved between his priorities and his families.
Even though fairy tales don’t always end the way we want them to, we usually expect them to end with prince charming saving a princess. However, according to the Grimms Brothers version, “The Frog King,” the princess actually saves the prince. An innocent naive princess comes across a frog that once was a prince. Therefore, the only way he can overcome this curse is to ask a princess to fully have her assurance into becoming his companion. The moral of this fairy tale is express how appearances are deceiving. We don’t fully have an understanding what true beauty looks like until it is standing in front of us. The three main symbols that emphasize the true beauty in this fairytale is the frog, the fountain, and the golden ball.

The short story, “Super-Frog Saves Tokyo,” written by Haruki Murakami, is a third person narration that shows the story from the main character, Katagiri. Murakami uses third-person limited point of view throughout the story to make the reader understand the Katagiri’s feelings and thoughts during the story. Katagiri is a hard worker, who is unrecognized by the people he helps, that has gained his own voice and position. He feels unwanted and not important, but an unexpected event arises and makes him question reality. Murakami’s use of tone and irony makes the reader experience the same kind of feeling that Mr. Katagiri goes through in the story. Haruki Murakami shows in the story that humanity desires recognition, but the fulfillment of recognition
As the story begins the narrator tries to convince the reader that he is not insane. This goes on throughout the story. He says he suffers from over-acuteness. “And have I not told you that what you mist...
