A worthy example of this is Ken Follet and his book World without End, which focuses on the small medieval town of Kingsbridge and its struggles to understand the overarching forces of the fourteenth century world. Follet uses an array of symbols such as the bridge, the hospital, and scarlet cloth to develop themes that reflect the changes and skepticism that are prominent in his characters’

against each other. In Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad, “Powwow at the End of the World” by Sherman Alexie, and “How to Write about Africa” by Binyavanga Wainaina clashes between cultures result in one culture being lost or replaced by the colonizing one.

There is some truth to the fact that opposition forces helped to defeat the treaty, but over all it was Wilson's stubbornness
The Conqueror Worm and the End of the World Edgar Allen Poe is one of the fathers of terror and mystery. His twisted, Macabre tales and poems are filled with great detail and often end with a dismal twist. "The Conqueror Worm" is one example of his masterful rhymes and tells how a play on life turns into reality for mankind. The setting is a theater but it is not just a site for plays. Poe describes it to be that way to trick the reader, but the theater is actually the setting for mankind
