• What are the characters’ emotions, attitudes, and behaviors? What do these indicate to the reader about the character?

There are three principal sources of interest in narratives: suspense, mystery, and irony. In the narratives “A Rose for Emily” by William Faulkner and “Lamb to the Slaughter” by Ronald Dahl, irony is a primary source of interest. Irony is defined as a state of affairs or an event that seems deliberately contrary to what one expects and is often amusing as a result. In both of these cases, the use of irony by the authors greatens the impact the pieces have on their audience. In both “A Rose for Emily” and “Lamb to the Slaughter”, the authors have numerous pieces of irony throughout their respective stories; this use of irony creates a better reading experience for the reader.

Elements within literature make a story unique and admirable.. In “The Jilting of Granny Weatherall”, the short story exemplifies several usages of literary elements. The author of the 1930 classic, Katherine Anne Porter, made irony very prevalent throughout the story. For instance, Porter’s masterpiece includes an immense percentage of it being written around an ironic situation. In this essay, I am going to elaborate with you, the reader, examples and the premises as to why the author used literary elements in her work.

For the opening paragraph I chose situation irony. I chose this because of how Boo Radley is portrayed. Throughout the book Boo is portrayed as a big, scary, mean, man who ate cats and squirrels. When in all actuality Arthur Radley, while being big, is a very nice man who is very fragile. This is shown when Scout describes

As part of your summer assignment, you will read In Cold Blood by Truman Capote. You may purchase the book on your own or you may borrow a school copy of it. Read closely and annotate your text.

During the novel, the characters' lives are all combined with each other's struggles and sexual experiences, some heterosexual, some homo- or bisexual. The most obvious victim of the novel is Rufus Scott, a black jazz musician who commits suicide at the end of the long first chapter. The other major characters also suffer as they struggle to find themselves and satisfy their craving for love and true happiness.

The world is a massive place full of endless literature, beginning from ancient scrolls to daily news articles, filled with many secrets, perspectives and surroundings that help connect literature to an individual’s daily life. Some writers use the skills of literary elements to express and discuss an event that has happened to them or what has happened to others. This helps others to comprehend the perspectives of the author’s understanding toward an incident that one might experience. For instance in Flannery O’Connor’s short story, she uses many literary elements to express her views over most of her stories. O’Connor expresses her views in her short story, “A Good Man Is Hard to Find” by using the literary elements of point of view, irony, and setting.

The first being is how her lifestyle is. She lived in Texas which if she lived there long enough would make her less tolerant to the gay lifestyle, but also the time she grew up in which would be the early 1900s, and not tell the 90s is when the gay lifestyle was more acceptable. Also with the addition of Kathrine mother being added help us understand how Kathrine was raised, but unlike her mother she was unable to change. The movie change of the finally scene gave a different view of Kathrine view on everything going on in her life. In the play she holds the balloon, kisses it, and releases it which gives the feeling that she feels pain and grief. In the movie she has a flashback when she and Andre were younger showing that no matter what her son did that she will always love

The tone of story is clear through the image that it portrays in the beginning, and the radical change in the end. In the beginning of the story, Mr. Chiu appears to be the victim, but as one continues to read the story, his anger and revenge becomes more apparent through the tone. The tone of

Through the use of diction, imagery, and syntax it is my belief that Ellison tries to demonstrate a lesson by using repetition, connotative meanings, and a caustic tone. The author uses eloquent language, such as “...a jollity, an absolute insanity, a giggle.”, to portray the madness of the factory and it’s worker’s (Ellison, “Repent Harlequin!’ Said the TicToc Man.”). With so much detail and the use of a complex sentence in the beginning of this short passage, it is read at a fast paced story until you reach “ But…” (Ellison, “Repent Harlequin!’ Said the TicToc Man.”). The passage then switches into many simple sentences creating a slow sarcastic repetition of “seven minutes.”, much like how a factory would sound when it begins to break down.

The topic of discussion for this essay is a story written by Charlotte Perkins Gilman called "The Yellow wallpaper. Firstly, several pieces of evidence within the text prove that the genre of the story is irony, in accordance with Frye 's "theory of myths". This essay shows exactly how those instances exemplify the genre of irony. Additionally, from a deconstructive point of view, there is a central binary of constraint and freedom. The examples from the text show both evidence of constraints within the story as well as freedom. Thus, proving this to be the central binary of this piece of literature. Finally, these two aspects can be used to show the similarities between this text and the short story "How to Become a Writer" by Lorie Moore.

Thesis Statement- in Truman Capote’s Breakfast at Tiffany’s, the psychological struggle between the need for stability and the desire for freedom is perhaps the central concern of Breakfast at Tiffany's.

In the film Truman (1995), directed by Frank Pierson, there are many examples of power relations, tactics of influence, and forms of leadership. The film depicts Harry Truman’s earnest yet unexpected rise to the appointment of president of the United States during World War 2 and the challenges he faced in this position of tremendous responsibility and authority. This paper will explore the concept of leadership through Pierson’s portrayal of Truman’s character development and will explore concepts of power and influence through his relationships to other characters and organizations.
