Jekyll and Mr. Hyde throughout the novel. With the use of a door, Stevenson brings this idea into full effect.

In the first two chapters of the novel, the reader gets his/her first glimpse of the door and how Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde use it. “There is no other door, and nobody goes in or out of that one but, once in a great while, the gentlemen
Wells’s short story “The Door in the Wall” was first published in 1911 as part of a compilation of stories titled The Door in the Wall, and Other Stories. To develop his short story, Wells uses characterization, theme, imagery, point of view, conflict, and other literary devices such as tone, metaphor, and flashback. Although Wells provides minimal direct characterization for the protagonist of the story, Lionel Wallace, readers familiarize themselves with his character through the indirect characterization
The Red Door I was awoken by a thump, as if the whole world shattered. I heard my mom cry my name out “Alexis!” I rushed down stairs and out on the streets of Whitecoast. People congested the streets, mumbling words. I managed to make my way to the front, and I my eyes met what the buzz was about, a door. It was a red door in the middle of the street, rusted door handle and fine detail on the wood. Nobody knew where it came from but we all knew it isn’t a good thing. The door creaked open and a letter
I walked through the deep blood stained snow that looked as if a bucket of red paint had exploded in a room with white walls. My left thigh had a large long gash running from my hip down to my knee, dark red blood ran the nile river down to my sock. Every step I took I could feel the the puddle of blood had has build up in the toe of my shoe. It seemed as if I had been walking for miles and miles but i was barely 400m from the cabin that I had so many pleasant memories in. Through the dim headlights
Throughout Chronicle of a Death Foretold, Santiago Nasar’s front door embodies his looming veil of fate and eventual sacrificial altar. This main door represents both the recurring theme of fate as well as the religious allusion to the cross of the crucified Christ. As with each of the motifs in the novella, Gabriel Garcia Marquez develops the symbolic doors enough to intimate Latin American beliefs and values and allude to Santiago’s innocence, but not enough to satisfy the loose ends left dangling
The Music of The Doors The Doors’ first album, The Doors, takes the listener on a journey through the doors of perception and invites the listener to experience through music, what Jim Morrison was fascinated with throughout his brief but dramatic career..

receives news of her husband s death and retreats to her room in distress. As she contemplates her newfound freedom while sitting at her window, the narrative unfolds, a tale of liberation and self-discovery. Through subtle yet powerful symbols like the music from afar, the clear window, and the door that separates her from her sister, Chopin weaves a story of hope, transformation, and the pursuit of one's aspirations. These symbols, imbued with deeper meanings, serve to illuminate the theme of possibility
when a person violates a norm which is defined as social expectations that guide behavior. The norm I choose to violate is walking on the left side and opening the left door instead of walking on the right side and opening the right door. I chose this norm because I hate it when people walk on the wrong side or use the wrong door in public; however, being on a college campus I have learned to become more tolerant because many foreign exchange students are used to walking and entering on the left
There is no disputing that while we are out and about we must walk through many doorways. Whether we are at work, school, the mall, a supermarket, a restaurant or the post office we have all been in the position where nearing the entrance to a building can have an effect on our day. When a person sacrifices a few precious seconds out of their busy schedule to reach back and hold the door open it has the tendency to induce a smile. But can it muster up a couple of words? It is one of the first phrases
I was trying to keep a positive mind. I only tried to be positive because the tiny door cracked. Tiny, wrinkly, green fingers with long nails poked through and more joined in. I knew my only friend was about to be stipped away of his life. I was living in New York before. I had two parents who loved each other,

for Angela’s eyes to adjust enough to the newfound darkness. She realized there was moonlight filtering through the windows. It was enough to give a vague outline of her surroundings. She heard those footfalls again, but from Lillian, she heard nothing. She considered running out the front door, but she’d come too far and was in too deep. Now that things were in play, she might never find out who killed Lil if she bailed. She lunged to the left and leapt on the couch, throwing herself over it and
Have you ever wondered why people hold the door for one another? Holding the door for someone is not only about manners. It's about taking the time out of your day to have face to face interactions. The exchange is often between strangers who may or may not ever see each other again. It takes a few seconds to hold the door; some are heavy and require effort. But it's not just about the door.

I could hear the home phone ringing as climbed up the basement stairs, out of breath and sweating; I’d just gotten off the treadmill. It’s nearly 10:00pm, weird time to call, I thought. My parents were at some formal event at the country club. Maybe Dad got a flat on the way home. I answered the phone to hear my Aunt Susie’s voice: “Have you spoken to your grandmother today?” For the past several days, my grandmother had been sick with “a cold or something,” as my mother described it. As the daughter

bunker pants and jacket and climb on as the truck starts up and the bay door opens. Lights on. Ladder 1 en route. The city’s skyline disappears behind the truck as the red lights reflect off the side of the ladder. The words “Capitol City” painted on the side. Siren screaming as Tommy weaves the truck through the city streets. Somewhere there’s a man trapped in the wreckage of what used to be his car. We’ve been called out by Engine 10 to extricate him. I pray on the way there. Pray for protection

They make armor out magazines and take weapons. Gerry and the group slowly trend through the cafeteria of B-wing, the music is ominous and unsettling. Gerry accidently knocks Mountain Jew rolling down, it rolls down producing a loud echo that could have got them killed. The group stands dead still, slowly trending once again after that mistake. They come across dark hallway in research facility, all of sudden the lights; the sound is stricken with bass and tremble sparking out my 5.1 speakers.

I tugged on the door handle again, the stupid thing was still stuck. Rubbing my hands together for alittle warmth I got a good grip on the handle and leaned back, putting all of my weight into one final heave. The rusty hinges snapped loose and the heavy door flung open, smashing me in the face. Blood
