Whenever it fell upon me, my blood ran cold” (Poe 39). This quote repeats the word eye, which helps us understand that the old man’s eye was highly irritating to the narrator. “A single dim ray, like the thread of a spider, shot from the crevice and fell upon the vulture eye. It was open . . . and I grew furious as I gazed upon it” (Poe 42 - 43). This section from “The Tell Tale Heart” repeats the word eye yet again. This provides more clues that the hatred that the narrator had for the old
to Lucie. At the beginning of the novel when Stryver brought up to Carton his love for Lucie, “Sydney Carton drank the punch at a great rate, drank it by the bumpers, looking at his friend” (129). The fact that Sydney began drinking quickly gave the clue that Carton is developing a love for Lucie. Earlier we know this fits because of Stryver and Carton’s conversation at the Old Bailey. Carton says, “[W]ho made the Old Bailey a judge of beauty? She was a golden haired doll!” (84). These two quotes show
showing Oedipus true colors. Oedipus believes that Tiresias knows more than he is saying; Oedipus is using him as a witness to the murder and looking for clues to solve the crime. “For the love of god, don’t turn away, not if you know something. We beg you, all of us on our knees (Sophocles, 371-373).

Milton's image of the Milky Way as being broad and ample or Shakespeare's vision of stars as night candles. Those descriptions don't tell the astronomer how far away the Milky Way, the Sun or Jupiter happen to be. Observations (page 26) are only clues to a mystery. The schema created by the observer can affect the results. "Therefore, observations like those discussed in the preceding sections could be collected and put in systematic form by men whose beliefs about the structure of the universe
something coming to her and she was waiting for it, fearfully. What was it? She did not know; it was too subtle and elusive to name. But she felt it, creeping out of the sky, reaching toward her through the sounds, the scents, the color that filled the air (39). Mrs. Mallard could mentally see and feel something reaching out to her, something she had never seen or felt before. It was the feeling of freedom and loneliness to come in her life. Mrs. Mallard was almost familiar with this thing that was approaching

“As the last drops fell from the glass to my tongue, I wondered - only for an instant - what perhaps I'd never know. What would it taste like, what would it feel like, if that liquid sliding down my throat was not champagne. But the elixir of life” (Neville). The concept of an elixir of life discussed in Katherine Neville’s book, The Eight, is by no means a new concept. In fact, it is one of the main goals of of a group of people, alchemists, who first recorded their workings 2500 years ago (Bateman)
As well as Hamlet is giving clues to Claudius, that Hamlet knows who killed his father. Hamlet asks for a play that gives the same story line to scare his uncle. This is a tactic to send not only Hamlet into insanity but also Claudius. The tactic of the play works Claudius is fearful
also repetitions of the words “I” and “my” throughout the whole poem, which confirms that the narrator is in fact Edgar Allan Poe himself. “And, so all the night-tide, I lie down by the side/ Of my darling, my darling, my life and my bride” (line 38, 39). The use of the words “I” and “my” supports the theory that the person narrating the poem is Edgar Allan Poe. It is also visible that the speaker is very sad and emotional about the loss of his wife. The narrator is having a difficult time getting
business at an accident. When the ambulance arrives and breaks through the crowd, "the doors leap open" to further convey the hurried state it's in. In line 5, as the ambulance passes the beacons and illuminated clocks, it gives the reader an obvious clue about setting. To take the words' meaning further, it can be argued that the illumination of the clocks and the emptying light in line 8 symbolize life itself as light in an otherwise dark situation. Also, the allusion to a heart by use of the words
Tim Clue Tim Clue is funny because he takes the real feeling of being crushed by debt and takes it to the absurd place of ignoring the debt. He focuses on soul crushing debt without consequences. It isn’t funny, because it is a real dilemma in this country of people who are being utterly crushed by their debt. And that dilemma has led to a rise in predatory lending practices. The appropriate use of debt, is that unless it is building wealth, there is none. Tim Clue focuses on using
are shown the excessive spending of Gatsby when Fitzgerald mentions that “every friday five crates of oranges and lemons arrive from a fruiter in New York - every Monday these same oranges and lemons left his back door in a pyramid of pulpless halves”(39).

As it happens, Poseidon was “far off among the sunburnt races” being “regaled by smoke of thighbones burning” at the moment and Nestor had to make due with a disguised, grey-eyed goddess of wisdom and war (Book 1, lines 36 and 39). Perhaps such cases of visiting deities were not as common in Homer’s Ionian Asia-Monor; however, there are numerous tales of prominent dignitaries, often viewed with god-like awe, traveling incognito.
