  • Analysis Of Kevin Brockmeier's The Year Of Silence

    886 Words  | 2 Pages

    Silence — the sound of quiet, the state of mind, the lack of meaning — all these pertain to its definition. Communication is expanding, noise is increasing, music is becoming more obtainable as people search desperately for a moment of peace or a breeze of silence. As the scarcity of physical silence increases, its value as a rare commodity increases as well. The idiom “Silence is golden” may perhaps only grow closer to reality as time passes, as exemplified by the white noise machines or silent fans entering the market and fictionalized in Kevin Brockmeier’s short story, “The Year of Silence.” In light of this, Brockmeier explores the value of silence and noise in his story without putting one above the other. Through strange clues and hidden

    766 Words  | 2 Pages

    ...l “The Butcher” Sullivan, when he killed people, had a mark or signature he left behind for the cops to tell them that it was (not directly telling them it was him) his kill or victim. Many psychopaths out there had the same method of killing people by branding them their victims. Examples would be like “The Zodiac Killer”, “Jack the Ripper”, and “The Bone Collector”. Many of these killers where either never caught or it took the cops a long while to figure out who did it. The realism of this book shows that many people could get away with murder if they took a few precautions and planted false evidence here and there. Though I believe we now have new technology that would help these days... getting away with murder is still very possible today.

    There are plenty of American authors that are completely infatuated with the idea of writing a nonfiction story about solved and unsolved murder cases. “In Cold Blood” by Truman Capote would be a great example of a nonfiction murder story. Did one ever wonder how a person can conjure up such a extravagant idea? Truman Capote stumbled on a short article in The New York Times about a gruesome quadruple murder at a Kansas farm. He soon realized that it was the story he had been waiting to write for 20 years (The New York Times). Capote knew from the moment he read the small article, that this murder was one he had to tell the world about through the minds of the killers.

  • My Thoughts on Susan Glaspell's 'Trifles'

    1236 Words  | 3 Pages

    The first reading I enjoyed was Susan Glaspell’s “Trifles”. The main character in the plat is a sheriff, his wife, the county attorney, and Mr. and Mrs. Hale. The opening scene is all of them in John Wright’s kitchen. Mr. Hale tells the sheriff and attorney how he a visited the house on the day before day and Mrs. Wright greeted him but her demeanor was little suspicions. She told him that her husband was upstairs dead. She says she was asleep when someone choked her husband to death. All the men suspect she is the murderer. While the men look for evidence in the house they criticize Mrs. Wright’s housekeeping skills and that really irritates Mrs. Hale and Mrs. Peter, the sheriff’s wife. While the men continue to look around the house, they missed the bad fruit preserves and bread that was left out the box, a quilt that she didn’t finish, a half cleaned table, and an empty birdcage. The men were preoccupied looking for scientific evidence and end up completely missing the psychological signs that Mrs. Wright was miserable living with Mr. Wright cold-natured attitude.
