In "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge" and "The Story of an Hour," the authors use similar techniques to create different tones, which in turn illicit very distinct reactions from the reader. Both use a third person narrator with a limited omniscient point of view to tell of a brief, yet significant period of time. In "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge," Bierce uses this method to create an analytical tone to tell the story of Farquhar's experience just before death. In "The Story of an Hour," Chopin uses this method to create an involved, sympathetic tone to relay the story of Mrs. Mallard's experience just before death. These stories can be compared on the basis of their similar points of view and conclusions as well as their different tones.

Ernest Hemingway wrote a challenging short story about a couple that faces an awful issue. He sets his story, “Hills Like White Elephants” on a hot day at a train station, which is actually a stopping point between Barcelona and Madrid for the two main characters. They have to then decide where to go, whether or not to go with each other and/or to continue their relationship. The difference between the white hills and barren valley emphasizes the division between life and death, which comes to the choice Jig faces between having the baby and going through with the abortion. She seems very caught up between the two issues she has because she is very indecisive on what she wants to do.
Throughout the many essays and articles I’ve read in class, “Shooting An Elephant” happened to be the most intriguing. The beginning of the essay may have lead me to believe that the story would simply be the author telling the story of how he shot an elephant in a foreign country. However, as I read more the issue became apparent. It’s basically as if the issue was shadowed by the author’s own story and to fully understand the issue you would have to actually pay attention to the author’s tone and emotions as well as the way in which he describes his actions. To elaborate, the main point to be taken away from this particular essay revolved around the art of proper decision making. To realize this I had to take note of how the author described

Wallace-Wells' article "The Case for the End of the Modern Zoo", addresses whether there is a valid reason for zoos to exist.The author begins by explicitly stating that he is a huge fan of zoos, and visits them frequently with his young daughter. He states that the zoo he visits takes extra precautions to protect the well being of the animals, such as reducing visitation hours and attempting to replicate natural habitats. In addition, the author calls to attention recent studies that suggest animals suffer in captivity (through malnutrition, infanticide, and frequent deaths).Wallace-Welles also emphasizes a recent "anti-zoo sentiment" stemming from pop culture such as "Madagascar", "Planet of the Apes", and "Blackfish".

As little kids, we learn lying is not okay and that we should never turn away from what we know is right and wrong. But as we get older, we find out that we end up doing what we promised to never do. In "Shooting an Elephant" by George Orwell, Orwell is faced with a problem to shoot or to not shoot an elephant on the run; he is a British officer in Burma and is looked up to as a tough, stern, and harsh man. Orwell has no intentions to shoot this poor elephant that has done nothing wrong, but peer pressure and other thoughts that Orwell has convinced Orwell to shoot it. These thoughts that arise are as Orwell puts it, "when the white man turns tyrant it is own freedom that he destroys", and "he wears a mask, and his face grows to fit it" (288).
