And in this corner, weighing 133 pounds, Antonio Cruz.” This means that in the story it’s foreshadowing because Felix is a pound heavier than Antonio so Felix should have won because it foreshadows that he should have because the 1 pound difference. Also the reader can realize the foreshadowing in the

    Used in great magnitude throughout the novel, the inevitably important element of foreshadowing is used skillfully by the author to arouse a thought-provoking uncertainty within the reader.

    There is a lot of irony in this story one example is that Tessie’s mom was so loving and caring in the beginning of the story, but at the end when Tessie wins the mom doesn’t seem to care that her daughter is about to be stoned to death. Secondly, I find it ironic that Tessie encourages her husband to go pick the piece of paper, but in the end he picks the paper with the black spot on it. Lastly, it is ironic that Mrs. Delacroix was all nice in the beginning, but in the end she is the one that picks up the biggest stone to throw at Tessie. Mrs. Delacroix was encouraging it by saying “come one” and “hurry up”.

    Suspense is a 1913 film that portrays the story of a tramp intruding into a family’s home, where a mother takes care of her child while her husband is away. The plot is a common one that had been used previous times before the film’s release, such as in The Lonely Villa (1909). However, through taking advantage of the single frame shot, the filmmakers were able to create a masterful aesthetic of two separate stories that turn a basic plot into a complex story. The film created an inventive way of illustrating stories within cinema by allowing the audience the chance to consume more narrative in less time within just one take.

  • Eyewitness Error

    Memory is a cognitive function of the brain that is often taken for granted. Memory may have many purposes, but most importantly it is essentially a record of an entire life span. From this perspective memory is the most important aspect of consciousness. Unfortunately, through formal experimentation it has been shown that memory is fairly inaccurate, inconsistent, and often influenced by our own experiences as well as the bias of others. Memory is not only affected during an observed event, but there are instances where memory can be influenced after an event as well. There are also instances where memory can be affected retroactively due to personal experiences and biases. Incorrectly recalling the memories of one’s life is usually not detrimental, but the flawed nature of long-term and short-term memory functions becomes a serious matter in regards to criminal eyewitness testimony. In the justice system eyewitness reports are legitimate and can be crucial in the judging process. The justice system was constructed to rely on testimony that is often inaccurate and inconstant in many ways.
