The setting of the dungeon is dark, dank, and generally unpleasant;(17) “The atmosphere was intolerably close,(18)...It was a wall, seemingly of stone masonry(19)--very smooth, slimy, and cold,(20)...The ground was moist and slippery” (Poe 3(21)).(22) Poe's dungeon is somewhat stereotypical; it is exactly as one would imagine, and the eloquent wo .....

.... thing. However, in the book the author actually uses it to enhance the storyline by not dwelling on any one scene for too long. Many chapters end and you find yourself wondering if there was supposed to be more. By the end, you realize that it actually enhances the plot greatly. One moment the people might be eating and bathing in the barracks, and the page after they are fighting on the front lines. It skips around a lot, but I became used to it.

.... deal to individualistic personality which in turn helps the author generate his/her idea of a certain person/group of people within the mind of the reader. Such a function is undertaken by Nick who is endowed with a keen sense of observation which he uses to reveal the nature of each character. Through Nick, the reader is able to sense the shallow emotional depth Tom Buchanan is capable of experiencing and his apparent harshness of attitude towards others. The brutality of Tom towards his mistress, Myrtle Wilson, as described by Nick (page 37, line 5 - below) is highly demon .....

.... detached fashion, with the narrator rarely reacting personally to the events, even when they recount horrific events. This style of writing often cheapens the content of the story, making it seems rather impersonal, even for nonfiction.

Why should I read? What for?(pg.73)” Montag is upset when he hears this because he sees that there is a problem with burning books.
