The Effect of Inspector Goole in J.B. Priestley's An Inspector Calls The inspectors’ sudden entrance gives an impression of “massiveness, solidity and purposefulness”. He has an air of authority that dominates the room. He is smartly dressed in a dark suit and he looks about fifty years old. He is serious, direct and makes a big impression. His entrance seems to be a surprise to Mr. Birling and the rest of the family, this brings more drama to the play. The inspector suddenly enters while Mr. Birling is giving a long lecture to the two young men Eric and Gerald. His timing seems to make a very big impression, as Birling attentively stops his speech and listens to the door, as it seems the Birling family was not expecting other visitors. The atmosphere suddenly becomes a bit tenser contrasting to when they were all celebrating happily without any worries. Before he came the atmosphere is content, now it seems that everyone is getting impatient with the presence of the inspector, this brings out the minor problems in-between the members of the family. The audiences’ impressions of the characters are that Mr. Birling is very pompous, he is confident and firm on his beliefs about politics and society. Eric is seen as a drunken boy who seems to get in a bit of trouble now and then. Gerald backs up Mr. Birlings’ beliefs. Gerald is quite confident and addresses the inspector with authority, he doesn’t seem to be very intimidated as he says “look here, sir.” As if trying to get control of the conversation. Sheila seems to be a girl who is very childish saying things like “mummy” which makes her look very immature. The inspector speaks and behaves in a somehow menacing way, forcing the family into they’re confessions of what they have done. Even though Mr. Birling is sure he has nothing to do with the inspectors’ inquiry soon enough we see newer things opening up. Mr. Birling is making every moment a chance to impress the inspector but the
This case was categorized under the criminal law, as the defendant had to go against the Crown. As for the actual case, the incident first came to attention when a 911 call was made from Godoy’s apartment, which was suddenly cut short before the caller was able to be identified. Despite this, a total of four officers headed to the apartment to confirm any suspicions and to question the resident of the apartment, which was found to be Godoy. As the officers arrived and requested access to Godoy’s apartment, a feminine cry was heard inside. It was this time that Godoy was attempting to close the door on the officers to avoid investigation, but as the officers’ suspicious grew stronger, they forced themselves into the apartment, despite Godoy’s
A lighthouse’s piercing beam of light shines over the murky land, providing respite—albeit brief—from the harsh battering of the neighboring terrain. Trouble, by Gary D. Schmidt, wraps this picture eloquently in the form of a compelling and captivating contemporary fiction book. Trouble primarily centers around a boy named Henry Smith, who never really understood the formidable potential of the omnipotent entity Trouble in his safe and idyllic life. Henry had always fallen into the dark shadow of his brother, Franklin, as a result of Franklin’s physical prowess. “…especially since he could never hope to match the records that Franklin—Franklin Smith, O Franklin Smith, the great lord of us all, Franklin Smith—had put up on the wooden Athletic Records panels for his rugby play.” (7). Henry’s brother, however, was extremely arrogant, and put his brother down at every chance he got, which causes Trouble to appear. “‘You do that climb, you have guts…you don't have any guts.’ Franklin punched his arm. Too hard. Then he laughed and walked away.” (38). Although the word “Trouble” usually brings to mind pictures of kids attempting to pull their parents’ hair out, it strikes the Smith family in a very different way: with the death of their Franklin due to being run over by Chay Chouan, a Cambodian immigrant. The family is utterly devastated with Trouble’s unforeseen arrival. “And his father hadn't shaved—which was, Henry thought, the first time that had ever happened.” (11). Having been promised to be taken to Mount Katahdin, the tallest mountain in Maine, right before Franklin had died, Henry takes the news the worst. His thoughts completely revolve around Katahdin, and how he would hike it at any cost, if just to...

Good vs. Evil in John Gardner's Grendel? & nbsp; John Gardner's novel Grendel gives the reader a new perspective on the classic "good vs. Evil" plot. From the start of the book the reader can tell that there is something very unique about the narrator. It is evident that the narrator is a very observant being that can express himself in a very poetic manner. The story is one the reader has most likely seen before, the battle between the glorious thanes and the "evil" beast. In this case, however, the "beast" is the eyes and ears of the. reader. This, of course, forces the reader to analyze situations in the book in the same way that Grendel does. By using this viewpoint, author allows his readers to see the other side of the coin. Therefore, Throughout the course of the novel the reader is able to understand how important to Grendel in defining the human. & nbsp; Grendel's first encounter with the human beings that he literally defines is not a pleasant one. After accidentally trapping himself in a tree he is discovered by a group of thanes out on patrol. Grendel expresses absolutely no hostile intentions towards these "ridiculous" (ch. 2). pp.24) creatures that "moved by clicks." (ch.2, pp.24) The thanes do not understand what Grendel is and are very uneasy about the whole situation.
What's the difference between good and evil? In John Gardner’s classic tale Grendel the line between good and evil is exceedingly blurred. Gardner does a phenomenal job of forcing the reader to question who the real hero of the story is. So is Grendel evil or simply misunderstood? To answer this question one must look at his basic character traits. Grendel is an unloving creature, he enjoys killing and torturing humans, and when he shows any sort of mercy, he later regrets it. Due to these facts it is impossible to label him as “good”.

Priestley’s Main Aim in An Inspector Calls JB Priestly wrote ‘An Inspector Calls’ to enhance the message that ‘we don’t live alone. We are members of one body. We are responsible for each other’. This is something Priestly felt strongly about and he succeeded in representing his views through the character of the Inspector in the play itself. He wanted to communicate the message that our actions, no matter how small or seemingly insignificant, always affect others.

In physics, quantum entanglement posits that certain subatomic particles always exist in paired states; electrons act dependently upon one another, ‘spinning’ in opposite directions. However, things get curiously interesting when one attempts to observe these spins. According to theory, the two interacting electrons will only have opposite spins once observed — that is, witnessed by an individual outside the realm of entangled particles. Like the observed electron, people are also entangled with others, and based on the perceptions of those that they interact with, they are capable of assuming a role that fits with their ‘observed’ identity. The perception of others (whether it is society, a friend, stranger, or loved one) can have a profound

Doug also gets pushed around by everyone, until at the end of the film when he yells at his son Scott to listen to him, giving the audience the impression that he is tired of getting pushed around and no one listening to him and also because he didn’t want his son to make a mistake.
When Esquire magazine first published F. Scott Fitzgerald’s series of essays “The Crack-up”, “Pasting It Together” and “Handle With Care,” collectively know today as “The Crack-Up,” in the year 1936, the author was slammed with criticism by many prominent literary figures of the time. In all three essays, which share a similar tone, Fitzgerald gradually describes a “crack-up”— what he explains to be a physical breakdown characterized by lack of willingness and vitality to keep on fighting for success and a spiritual breakdown characterized by the loss of all motive and will to be generous and compassionate—he claims he prematurely suffered and suddenly realized. Fitzgerald presumes this slump as being analogous to a salt losing its flavor:
