The Lottery

After researching on archetypes on the internet for a decent amount of time, I derived that there are two main archetypes in the story. The first one would be the liar archetype although it is more misleading than a liar. The main liar in the story was Mr.Summers because of how he carefully picked his [...]

Paul’s Case

The plot arc to me was presented when Rainsford had accidentally fell off of his yacht and met the owner of a very elaborate and extravagant house after swimming a fair ways using his sense of hearing to get there. Another arc would have to be when Zaroff finally explained to Rainsford that the hunt [...]

Flash 1

My experience was pretty amazing especially the sucker on the first day that was pretty special. My first take on this class was that it was going to be very, very strict and ridiculously hard.
