the time since death of a human is extremely important, but finding this specific time becomes more difficult as the body decomposes. Although in the early post-mortem period, the post-mortem interval (PMI) can be calculated by algor mortis, rigor mortis, livor mortis, eye changes, and gastric contents, it’s difficult to calculate the PMI in the late post-mortem period. Insects are extremely useful for calculating…

Contrasting themes between the closed state and the first open state of Matthias Grunewald’s Isenheim Altarpiece are apparent with one look.

This example connects the reader to the book on a more personal level. “The cramped hand that was almost as stiff as rigor mortis.” This simile is stressing the idea that Santiago’s cramped hand is as stiff as a dead person’s hand. “Rapier bill with its sandpaper edge”is a metaphor used to describe the bill of the female marlin he caught.

WOOF. THUMP. Silence. Those are the sounds you hear when you are driving down the road, going 20 miles over the speed limit, and you hit a family dog that was simply crossing the street. You wouldn’t just leave it there, would you? Nobody would. If it were a deer, would your decision be different? In the poem “Traveling Through The Dark” by William Stafford, the speaker has this hard decision to make. Does he save the deer, or kill it off? The speaker’s actions in the poem may appear humane at…

cry, and the seizure of his wing represents how Patroclus was unable to run(or fly). The snake later turning into stone represents Hector’s death, and how by the time his father receives the body, it must have been stiff as stone, because of the rigor mortis that would have set in by the time Achilles returned the body.
