Huitzilopochtli Argumentative Essay

659 Words2 Pages

Do you ever look at the sky? When the sun makes a pink hue inof the sky and you think to yourself that nothing could go wrong. What if I told you that you could never see that great big ball of gas ever again? There is a story about a hero who saved the world. This is how it begins. Huitzilopochtli was a man of great strength, he was a leader amongst his people. His village was one of the biggest in the area. He did not fear anyone, and was thought to be a god. One day Huitzilopochtli set out from the village to find new areas to claim and help. While he was trekking through the jungle he stumbled upon an ancient tomb that had an eerie mist around it. It was old and cracked with low hanging vines that partially concealed the entrance. Being the fearless man he was, he walked inside the tomb …show more content…

At the very back of the tomb there was a small stone box that had candles surrounding it. As Huitzilopochtli walked closer he could feel a cool sensation run down his back. His mind started to become numb and all he wanted to do was run away. He got close enough to touch the box and once he did the box started to glow red and began shaking violently. Huitzilopochtli tried to take his hand away but it seemed attached to the box and his fingers grasped around the lid of the box and without his permission opened it. When he did this bones started to fly out of the tiny box and started forming a skeleton on the ground. After what seemed like seconds the fully formed skeleton rose up from the floor and knocked Huitzilopochtli out. For many moons Huitzilopochtli slept, when he awoke the world was surrounded in darkness and the only light he saw was his village burning to the ground. In the sky there was a giant robed figure that billowed black smoke over the trees. All of his face was covered except for his red glowing eyes. He carried a scythe that he swung at some of the

    Pale as the ghost he was going to become, Prospero gentley landed on the floor of the black room, where he was certain he would meet his demise. The black room contained the ominous ornaments and tapestries as it always had, but it now had Death. The blood red pane cast an eerie light that bathed the entire room in a dim, bloody light. Death loomed over the guant figure barely recognizable as the once honorable Prince Prospero, for he now had the appearance of an elderly man with greyed hair that sprouted from his leathery, wrinkled skin. The eleventh toll chimed and the prince was reduced to a pile of black ash, indistinguishable from any other dust pile. When the final twelfth toll sounded, Death vanished along with the light from the brazier in the black room, leaving the entire castle empty and devoid of any life.

    In America, knives, forks, and spoons are necessary tools people have in order to function properly everyday. Without cutlery, people would continue to eat with their dirty, bacteria covered hands, slurping and licking their way through their meals. People would drink bowls of hot soup, maul steak like a feral dog stealing his first bone in weeks, and scoop large chunks of ice cream with frostbitten fingers. Like most individuals in the world, I never put too much thought into how important a spoon was until I needed it. I especially did not care where my family’s flatware came from or how they were created, as long as it was in the cabinet when I wanted to grab a quick bite to eat. Unfortunately, no one cares about a spoon, a fork, or

  • Analysis Of Death Of The Pendulum

    After drinking deeply, he realizes that the water must have been drugged since he immediately loses consciousness again, and later, when he is again awake, there is a sulfurous light which reveals that the walls are one-half their original size. Logically, he tries to determine how he originally made such an error. He knows that he is in the same place because of the horrible, dismal circular pit. But to his horror, he is now completely bound head and foot, except for his left hand up to his left elbow. He is bound to a "species of low framework of wood." Looking upward, he sees a huge razor-sharp pendulum swinging in an arch, criss-crossing his body. Turning to survey the rest of the vault, he sees enormous rats running across the slimy floor. After watching the rats for about thirty minutes, he again looks at the pendulum and is horrified to realize that the sweep has increased considerably and even more disturbing, it has descended. Now he "can no longer doubt the doom prepared for [him] by monkish ingenuity in torture." The sweep of "the pendulum was at right angles [and] was designed to cross the region of the heart." The vault and the bottomless pit are just as horrible as the very pit of hell itself might be. It seems as though it is days before the pendulum comes so close to him that the "odor of the sharp steel forced itself into my nostrils," but eventually it does, and when the
