It was a dark and stormy night. The rain came down in torrents,
soaking the solitary man to the skin. He stood alone, silent, still
enveloped by the black of the night; he stood at the top of his drive
which led to his mansion.
Had the sun been glowing, this lonely man would have seen the car
parked up about half a mile from him, with its engine and lights off,
there was no cover for the car either as the man and his mansion was
surrounded by lots of fields and meandering roads.
Unaware to the man, the cars engine started but the lights didn't go
on, yet the dark restricted the man's vision so he didn't see the car
slowly crept up on him.
The car stopped and a man dressed in nothing but blacking clothing
jumped out of the passengers seat, He stared at the solitary man.
Suddenly the man's eyes snapped open. The look on his face was one of
absolute horror as if he had no recollection of his coming to this
place. He turned in a circle, taking in his surroundings and as he
did, he felt something small and sharp pierce his right leg. He ran
his hand over his calf and felt a liquid flowing out a little hole,
just like water running from a tap.
The man jumped back into his car but not before giving his gun to the
driver, then the car raced away like it was late for a very important
meeting.
The blood was running so rapidly that his blue and white stripy
pyjamas were now pure red, and there was no doubt that the hired
gunman didn't want to kill the introverted man, well not straight away
he wanted the lonely man to suffer as much pain as he can before he
die's, or lose his leg.

them.
The boy stood up to talk to the ambulance men. 'Don't leave me here
with…' Her eyes turned to look at the dead man. She ran to follow the
boy.
The ambulance man thanked the pair and turned to look at the dead man.
'Let's go. Please. Please can we go? I'm scared.'
They turned towards the road and walked away, leaving the ambulance
crew treating the man. Both in stony silence as the girl reached for
the boy's hand. He acknowledged this with a smile and together they
walked away. Away from the horrors behind them.
As the Ambulance men carried the dead body into the back of the
ambulance a dark coloured car drove past, the driver and passenger
seat's where both occupied by two male's, and both of them had a very
satisfying look on their faces. Like they had done something to be
very proud of.

The first two lines of the poem set the mood of fear and gloom which is constant throughout the remainder of the poem. The word choice of "black" to describe the speaker's face can convey several messages (502). The most obvious meaning ...

Here the boy means so much to the man that if the boy died he would “want to die too.” He would want to die because the boy is the only source of light and joy in his world, and if he died there would be nothing left in him to carry on.
Who Killed JFK? You may ask why I say this, but it's something you really need
War is a very controversial dilemma, which could be solved in an orderly fashion rather then a callous disaster where young men and women die. This cataclysmic story takes place in a short story written by Liam O'Flaherty, the story takes place in Dublin, Ireland during the 1920's where a Republican sniper is involved with a terrible accident. He suffers dramatic injury to the soul and heart when someone that he loves dearly is shot. The story's theme is intensified through situational irony, which shows the pointlessness of armed conflict.
Despite its prevalence, suffering is always seen an intrusion, a personal attack on its victims. However, without its presence, there would never be anyway to differentiate between happiness and sadness, nor good and evil. It is encoded into the daily lives people lead, and cannot be avoided, much like the prophecies described in Antigone. Upon finding out that he’d murdered his father and married his mother,
Torture brings about fear and anticipation. The narrator in this story was constantly reminded of death. He was not tormented by people or the judges that sentenced him, rather he was tormented in his own mind ad thoughts. He knew, before he received his sentence, that death awaited him. He did not stand still, and he knew he could not save himself from death or escape it. The narrator did not save himself, someone else did.
Bogard starts his article off by recounting a personal story – a summer spent on a Minnesota lake where there was “woods so dark that [his] hands disappeared before [his] eyes.” In telling this brief anecdote, Bogard challenges the audience to remember a time where they could fully amass themselves in natural darkness void of artificial light. By drawing in his readers with a personal encounter about night darkness, the author means to establish the potential

In the Sunset Limited, Black’s life was full of darkness because when White asks Black about how Black gets into jail. Black says that “ Murder.” and when White asks him about “ you were always in a lot of trouble?” Black answers that “Yeah. I was I like it. and I liked it. Maybe I still do. I done seven years hard time and I was lucky not to of done a lot more. I hurt a lot of people. I’d smack em around a little and then they would get up again”(McCarthy,18). It show that Black was aggressive and his life used to fulfill with darkness before he change and believe God. He was loss once and he now he become resilience. This which is similar to the freed prisoner in “the Allegory of Cave”. At the beginning of the story, Socrates describes the cave and says that: “People live under the earth in a cavelike dwelling. stretching a long way up toward the daylight is its entrance, toward which the entire cave is gathered. The people have been in this dwelling since childhood, shackled by the legs and neck”(Plato). The freed prisoner used to live in this situation: People who live in the cave have been totally fulfilled with darkness. Plato creates this setting is trying to show that the prisoner used to live in the cave have been totally fulfilled with darkness. In order to
The poem " Domination of Black" by Wallace Stevens takes place on an early autumn night, focusing at one point on a person in a room thinking about darkness, while a fire is going in a fireplace nearby. A few images appear repetitively, which tie the poem together more clearly.
