Literary Devices in the Product


- Imagery: I used vivid sensory details, like"soaked in my own blood," "vomit mixed with bitter
bile and half-dissolved pills," "blood solidified into a layer, hard and cold", they evoke the
character's fear.
- Symbolism: The "hand" symbolizes the period pain, this unclear expression shapes the "hand"
into a monster, amplifying the fear of the unknown.
- Foreshadowing: Early "dull abdominal pain" and nausea hint later violent suffering, building the
suspense.
- Tone: I used a desperate, disoriented tone, like "didn’t know who to turn to," "no one paid any
attention" reflects helplessness, also deepened the fear’s allure.

2. Influence of Classic Texts


- "The Raven" (Poe): Poe's recurring, almost graphic imagery throughout his short story, such
as the raven's cry of "nevermore," and the narrator's deepening despair, create a sense of
suffocating, unending dread. The recurring image of the "hand" in the short story also reflects
this repetition. Both utilize cyclical terror, such as Poe's raven's repetitive cry of "nevermore,"
and the story's unwavering suffering, making the dread seem inevitable.
