The soft island breeze blows across the sound and the smell of the sea fills the air in Willow Springs. Meanwhile, a thousand miles away in Lower Manhattan the smell of garbage and street vendors’ hotdogs hangs in the air. These two settings are key to Gloria Naylor’s 1988 novel Mama Day where the freedom and consistency of the Sea Islands is poised against the confinement of the ever-changing city, two settings that not only changes characters’ personalities but also their perceptions. On the surface the two places seem to share no similarities and represent different aspects. There are, however, some similarities, among which is the effect of the setting on the characters. Naylor demonstrates through the characters Cocoa Day and George Andrews that a person’s surroundings affect the way they behave and either allows or permits them to believe in certain aspects of life, especially in respect to believing in magic or logic.

But even as he drew near, a symbol started to burn into the lower left hand corner of the stone. . Casting a quick glance over his shoulder, Mark drew a small pendant and held it over the symbol.

The sparsely populated towns and countryside of the Pine Barrens of Southern New Jersey have often been the ideal setting of various ghost stories, including the infamous tale of the Jersey Devil, that are told in the more heavily populated Northern New Jersey and Philadelphia metropolitan regions. One of those “Piney” towns is home to a lesser-known, but equally interesting, tale of a street that is haunted by the ghost of a young boy. The story is set in the town of Atco, within Waterford Township, and is located approximately half-way between Philadelphia and Atlantic City, right in the heart of the Wharton State Forest section of the Pine Barrens National Reserve.

Robert Lowell’s “Skunk Hour” is an irony of the disorder of the social order that is altered by the poet’s overwhelming depression translated in his passage, “I myself am hell; nobody’s here” (Lowell 1946 lines 35-36). As a result, it is very possible to see the speaker admits that he is ill. “My mind’s not right” (Lowell 1946 line 30). This poetry technique uses a dark and strange theme throughout the stanzas. “Only skunks that search in the moonlight for a bite to eat. They march on their soles up Main Street” (Lowell 1946 lines 37-39).This half of the poem is far more descriptive of what the skunks do at night. The author creates an uneasiness feeling in his passages that are consistent with depression fuelled, and exaggerated gloomy
