`` A Chain Of Events Linked By Cause And Effect

When people first start reading a book there is one burning question: "What is this story about?" It’s a heavy question, especially for a fiction novel with so many fabricated details. You can fix this by saying a story is all about decisions. Of course, there are other themes, but the entire story is connected by the questions characters ask themselves and the outcome of their own answers. We can think about how this mimics real life. How every day we are forced to consider life's chance situations; some casual, some pressing, but all of them impacting our final growth as people and those around us to some degree. A good example of this is when in the book "The Outsiders", our protagonist Jonny decided to kill Bob in self-defense, this resulted in Jonny and Ponyboy going on the run. The decisions, the choices, that were made by Jonny change the course of his and his cohort's entire lives in an instant--directing the whole final tale and story outcome.

First, Janie, the main character, starts off living and being taken care of her grandmother, Nanny. She later grows up to become married, but their relationship is not genuine because her grandmother wanted her to marry the man. Janie meets a man called Joe Starks and they run off to a town called Eatonville where Joe becomes Mayor and blinded by his power. He becomes violent and domestically abuses Janie.

Stories use narrative to involve the responder in a range of experiences. Storytellers use narrative techniques to establish a setting and shape the characters personality. This is shown in Henry Lawson’s short stories the drover’s wife and the loaded dog as well as Roger hargreaves picture book little miss sunshine.

Narrative: An individual intro outlining their thoughts on the conclusions of their writings, and how individuals understand the meaning of their lives through the process of narrating it (Andrews et al., 2013).

The narrative perspective helps us discover the underlying moral of the story– that is its argument about how we ought to and ought not to believe or behave (Sellnow 2017). Part of the narrative perspective is the viewer’s narrative rationality which refers to the assessment of good reasons used to persuade masses of the moral (Sellnow 2017). Another element in this perspective is its coherence defined as plausibility. Often times viewers will better agree with a moral whose story is believable and characters relatable. And the more believable and relatable the more the story resonates and that connects to its fidelity or the degree to which the values in a story ring true (Sellnow 2017). Under a narrative lens several different aspects are examined such as the actions and conditions that create the active and static events, the setting, characters that based on their depth are either round or flat. With predictable characters being flat and the unpredictable round.

At one of the town meetings someone asks for a “few words uh encouragement from Mrs. Mayor Starks” and Joe replies buy saying, “Thank yuh fuh yo’ compliments, but mah wife don’t know nothin’ ‘bout no speech-makin’. Ah never married her for nothin’ lak dat. She’s uh woman and her place is in de home”(41) After hearing this from Joe, Janie feels as though, “that took the bloom off of things”(41). She is no longer truly in love with him anymore. After Joe dies, Janie feels free for the first time in years. Janie is in the room when Joe dies and soon after, she walks across the room to the mirror and tells herself that she, “The young girl was gone, but a handsome woman had taken her place”(83). Janie becomes a more independently thinking woman after his death because she doesn’t have the restriction that Joe forced on her. She is free from Joes dominant self and can now do what she pleases, which ends up being a very good thing for her.

In ‘Time’ nature’s sublimity is reflected in the visual imagery displayed as the form of a film allows for not only the characters to tell a story but also the camera shots, music and scenery onset. Through various camera angles and shots, particularly pan, eye level, low angle, and tilt, the film portrays the dominating power of nature and its impact over man’s emotions. However, sometimes nature can be domineering and dangerous as suggested in the non-diegetic and suspenseful tones of the music being played. It can also be portrayed in the final scenes of the film where the mum and boy protagonist are trapped in the drowning car due to losing control over it while the mum was texting. This theme then signifies discoveries which are sudden and unexpected and symbolises how individuals will be confronted with challenges that they must overcome in order to comprehend the discovery. Nature’s power is also displayed in the Australian text, ‘Away’. However, the environment not only has influence over the characters of the play but the plot itself which can be shown in Act 3 Scene 4 the ‘Storm Scene’. The tempest causes a group of characters (Gwen, Meg and Jim) to join another family on a desolate beach where the personas can open up, reflect on and change their lives, which was all caused by the storm. Furthermore the peaceful beach is symbolic of tranquility and reflection, a place that leads to transformation within each of the individuals. The title, ‘Away’ represents a homonym, a word with more than one definition. ‘Away’ can either be defined as the physical action taken to escape a place or for an individual to venture off into their own imaginations, leaving behind reality. This concept further highlights the different meanings behind nature, symbolising the many perceptions which one can approach when making a
