begging for mercy from the being as they were peeled and thrown into a dark crevice on the thing’s face. I had a sense of terrible trepidation as I was picked up. The nails of the strange creature dug into my skin, peeling off the layer and pulling me apart. The pain could only be described as excruciating. That was it. Excruciating. I attempted to cry out to no avail. Before I knew what was happening, I had been thrown into a dark, damp cave (mouth). A
In addition, many of them can be earned by completing certain tests. As explicated in the previous paragraph, Bilbo is lost in the dark tunnels and meets Gollum. Subsequently Bilbo won the riddle-contest, Gollum made excuses to not show Bilbo the way and refused to keep his promise “we can’t go up the tunnels so hasty. We must get some things first, yes, things to help us” (Tolkien, page 94). The invisibility ring was owned by Gollum, even though Bilbo had it. When Bilbo
Machines are everywhere. They take up every aspect of our lives: our waking up, our getting to school/work, and even at school/work. But when mankind’s machines are used for ill, the results could mean the death of us. Nuclear ICBMs pose a constant threat; just one of their 250 warheads can level cities with a single, grand explosion, and one warhead can contaminate 250 miles of air and land, making it inhospitable for thousands of years. In Metro: 2033, the worst scenario has been realized: the

religious fervour at the time, which helped to admiss the existence of ghosts and the like. The very setting of The Signalman form the start gives the story an eerie gothic feel to it with the signalman working and living in a dark lonely place with the tunnel that is very close by adding to the sense of mystery of the man and the place. The railway line is set in a shallow gorge with 'dripping wet walls of jagged stone,' which gives the sense that the jagged stone is evil and the dripping
Symbolism and Meaning of Through the Tunnel Symbolism can really make a story meaningful. Through the Tunnel is a story full of symbolism. There is symbolism in anything from the setting to the tunnel itself. The three major symbols in the story are the beach, the bay, and the tunnel. They all represent a progression from dependent and irresponsible to independent, responsible and mature. Doris Lessing does an excellent job at showing how symbolism can tell an entirely different story. The first
Atmosphere in Charles Dickens' The Signalman 'The Signal-man' is a ghostly thriller by Charles Dickens. Based on an apparently hallucinating signal-man and the tales of his hallucinations, the story is seen through the eyes of the narrator, a man told of the signal-mans troubles during conversations with the signal-man himself. From the beginning of the story, the atmosphere is both eerie and gloomy. To produce this type of atmosphere, Dickens had to draw on several different aspects
struggles, often gaining valuable life lessons in the end. In Doris Lessing’s “Through the Tunnel,” Jerry, an eleven year old boy, overcomes many conflicts and challenges that lead him to the results of growing up and establishing himself as an individual.

Bradbury intentionally uses a variety of different sentence lengths for specific purposes. Consider this example, found early in the story: “They surged about her, caught her up, and bore her, protesting, and then pleading, and then crying, back into a tunnel, a room, a closet, where they slammed and locked the door.” First, I noticed its length: It is a complicated sentence with lots of commas that almost makes it choppy. But the short phrases have the effect of coming at you like waves. In fact,

No group of people knows this better than the “Mole people” introduced in Jennifer Toth’s book, The Mole people, where life is a constant struggle against others, police and what lurks in the abyss of the New York City tunnel system.

As the United States of America was building, women for some reason were not treated like they

escaping unnoticed was even more difficult. Sturges also managed to portray the raised cabins that were originally a part of the camp to allow the German officers to see if their prisoners were escaping through tunnels from the cabins. Throughout the movie, while the prisoners were digging their tunnels to escape, they would always have men doing something else to make noise so the officers would not think any suspicious activity was occurring. This was because the Germans hid microphones all around the
