Why Would The Author Do This? English Language Question?

This is to anyone who is good at analysing the English Language and Literature. Keep in mind that this story was written in 1897.
I have to analyse this Australian Gothic Horror Story called the With Three Phantoms by Guy Boothbay. I particuarly have to study the language, but i’m struggling to determined why Boothbay has used this:
“I date the whole business from one muggy, horrible night, such as can only be produced by Port Darwin in her Season of Torment.”
Why has placed “Torment” in CAPITAL letters? why would any writer during the 1800′s do this? What’s the intended effect i mean.
thank you so much.

Feedback On A Paragraph Please?

I have asked this question before awhile ago but I’d like others opinions. Anything you have to say about these paragraphs would be great. Do you think the story has any potential for you?
The silence of dawn rang through the winter air and all was good. Then the silence was consumed. All was no longer good, it would never be the same. The street was littered with the bodies of men, women, children and animals alike. At first glance, it looked like the end. The end of humanity as we know it. But upon closer inspection, one body was moving, the body of a child, young enough so as to be of innocent nature but old enough so that the occasional memory can be saved. Suddenly there was a noise like the folding of paper, only amplified and lower pitched. And then there was a man. He wore a long dirty blue hood contrasting against a bright red robe. Although only small, he towered over the boy. Quick as a flash he enveloped the boy in his robe protecting him from the dust rising from the debris. The noise repeated and both man and child were gone. No signs of the event were left behind, earth had lost its last inhabitant.
When the child awoke he was met by a harsh light revealing an even harsher reality. The room was warm but the utilitarian furniture and business-like colours of the walls upset the child. And he began to cry. Two perhaps two and a half the man thought despite his best efforts. He had watched the cradle, in which the child had just awoke, from the darkness of the doorway. The man did not always agree with the draconian measures of the Human Relations Council but this was a fact he would take to his grave. The man made pained foot steps towards what he had avoided for the past two hours and promptly he was standing over the cradle. He lowered his hood revealing an expression of pity and empathy. It was at this moment that the boy and the man formed a bond. Not said and not thought, but this man would be the father of this boy. The man shed his first tear since childhood. “Sorry,” he muttered. The man vividly remembered his single visit to earth. The art and the literature had fascinated him. He loved all music, art and writing but most of all he loved the Vitruvian Man. “Leonardo” he said almost inaudibly as he grasped the boys hand. “Leonardo” he repeated.

When Gas Prices Spiked In 2008 Dubya Tried To Stimulate The Vehicle Market By Urging Congress To Pass A Tax?

break that would allow businesses to deduct the full cost of any vehicle so long as that vehicle had a GVWR of at least 6000 pounds. That’s why you see so many businesses that have their company logo splashed up and down the sides of a 2008 Hummer H2.
When gas prices started going up under the Obama administration he had already taken care of the situation by urging the big three automakers to lighten up on the giant SUV game and focus on small cars. Gasoline consumption in the US has fallen by almost 7% in the last year and right now the high prices are 100% the result of oil companies engaging in a game of financial chicken to try to make Obama look bad and compensate for a very weak GOP field.
Now do you understand why we see high gas prices differently now than we did when Bush was President?

How Can I Apologize And Salvage This Friendship?

I stole money from my closest friend – how do I tell her?
We’ve been best friends for five years, lived together for two.
I do not know what came over me.
I was short for rent money, and I knew she had recently received a large loan for school.
I was scrambling to get rent to my landlord, and when I was $120 short I saw her bank card on the counter. I took it, went to the bank machine by our house, took the money and returned her card to the counter. She had given me her PIN number many times, for various things, over the years. It seemed so easy and brainless. I put it out of my mind and went about my business.
I am a student, my own loans are all spent, and I don’t have a job. I usually don’t know where I will get getting money from next.
I could have asked to borrow the cash, I could have asked family for cash, but either of those would mean I’d have to admit to being a screw-up who can’t make rent. Pathetic of me, both ways.
Here’s where I really went off the deep-end: I did it again yesterday. I was broke, credit card minimum payment and internet bill looming. I took her card, took out cash, returned and made us dinner. Again, out of mind.
Now, she’s noticed. She saw the amounts and immediately called the bank. They told her “Listen, this doesn’t look like fraud. You probably have been scammed by a friend or roommate. We’ll let you know in two weeks.” She didn’t buy it and believes she was defrauded. I was so scared I sat there and let her talk to the bank, reassuring her that it’s not the end of the world (feeling like I was going to puke.)
I’m sure they will tell her they can’t do anything about it, and I’m not concerned about getting caught. I know this bank well – she will be told it wasn’t fraud and she can go to the police if she wants to, and she won’t because she hates that kind of hassle.
I feel so goddamn sick about this, I’m shaking as I type. What I am really concerned about is losing my BEST friend, the BEST person I know.
She has said over the years “I hold grudges – if I lose trust, I don’t hesitate to drop people out of my life.” I am terrified to face her, as terrified as I am right now, facing the fact that I am an awful friend.
I can’t believe I may have just ruined all of my friendships for $220.
I have all the money to pay her back, in cash, in my wallet. I’m going to tell her, approach her with the cash in hand, explain that I needed rent and did the shadiest thing possible to get it. She’s going to have questions about the whole thing, and I have honest answers.
HOW DO I EVEN BEGIN TO DO THIS? We’ve been sitting around the house all day, I am just terrified that as soon as I have this conversation, there’s a chance I’ll be saying goodbye to not only her friendship, but probably other friendships as well.
I need to try my best to salvage this. Really, my life will be in shambles if she can’t forgive me.
What would you NOT want to hear?
“I need to clear something up, I have done the stupidest, lowest thing. -Explain- I don’t expect you to be okay with this, I don’t know if there is anything I can do to make this okay. I just know that I am sick that I did this to YOU of all people, and realize it might be something I’m regretting for a long time.”

Macro Fiscal Policy Help (discretionary/expansionary/co…

Fiscal Policy= change in gov’t expenditures (spending) and taxation in order to achieve macroeconomic goals, example= stable prices, low unemployment, high growth, etc. This is used to stimulate a slow economy or slow down an economy that is moving too fast.
-Expansionary= Increase in government spending/ decrease in taxes. Used when economy is in a recession. *Increases AD
-Contractionary= Decrease in government spending/ increase in taxes. Used when economy is in an expansion. *Decreases AD
-Discretionary Policy= when the government deliberately acts to manipulate the economy.
-Automatic= no explicit action is taken by the government. When business cycle changes, these are built in stabilizers.
OKAY, now,
1) what is the difference between discretionary policy and expansionary/contractionary policy?
2) Are all three of those (discretionary, expansionary and contractionary) part of fiscal policy?
3) Is discretionary policy like a main topic and expansionary and contractionary policies are the details?

How Can We Stop Public Indecency Under The Guise Of “breast Feeding”?

Alright, I have had it up to here, with all this public indecency and explicit exposure in public. I’m talking about you ladies, who absolutely feel the need to whip out one of your breast in full view of the public, and shove it into your kids mouth in order to shut them up. Listen, I want your kid to shut the heck up as much if not more than you do. But what I don’t what to see, is some deformed breast with stretch marks that look like a map of the US highways. Not only do I not want to see it, but I don’t want my kids to see this lewd and lascivious behavior.
I told my wife before we even got married, if you have to breast feed, you will not be doing it in public, EVER! I have tinted windows around my car, so that if push comes to shove my wife can just go do it in the car if she absolutely feels the need. I usually make sure that she feeds the kid before we go anywhere so that this doesn’t become an issue while in full l view of the public. I don’t want my wife exposing kids to her cleavage, even more so I don’t want my wife exposing her cleavage to other me. She was a 34 D prior to getting all pregnant and everything, now that she is fully engorged she is even bigger. Last thing I need is to get into some fight with some perverted jack ***, trying to get his jollies by ogling my wife.
I don’t understand why you woman just have to whip that thing out right in public and let the baby just latch on and do its business. Are you really to lazy to get your butt up and go to a restroom or some where that is somewhat private? Especially at a restaurant; hell even the Dennys has those toilet cover things you can sit on if need be, I think there called *** gaskets or something like that. If not, why not carry some extra ones in your diaper bag just in case you do have to feed in public, or invest in tinted windows for your car like I did.
Especially you woman with the really old kids who are old enough to walk around and talk a little bit, give that little bastard of yours a bottle with cow milk already! Geez Louise! Tell you what, the next time your out why not just whip your breast out and just parade around the room squeezing of streams of milk at people, because essentially that is what you are doing. I tried to call the cops on this one broad for indecent exposure when I took the kids to Disneyland and they said there was really nothing that they could do about it as long as it was under the guise of breastfeeding, she was just allowed to twirl those things all over the place even at Disneyland!!?! I couldn’t freaking believe it. When I confronted the lady and politely asked her to shove that thing back in her moo-moo and get the hell out of the park if she was going to be flashing kids, she called park security and I ended up being escorted of the premises and banned from the park for life! WTF is that all about!!? I’m asking all people to join some kind of cause to eliminate public exposure, nudity and outright indecency to get these lazy sleazebag, closet whores to put their breast away, and quit using their kid as a reason to flaunt their chest all over the place. I even saw a woman with a tragically deformed breast trying to breastfeed in public, it looked like two fried eggs nailed to a wall, nobody needs to see this! When and how can this madness come to an end?
