A Place Where The Sea Remembers Character Analysis

The reader sees that throughout this story Dade avoided catching the woman and was letting her go, but then she ignored him after he asked her “why [she is] doing this to [him],”(75) and his father hired a guard. Dade was sitting on the roof and watching air force jets fly when he made a realization that he “wanted the woman to be caught… The woman was a thief,” (98). He believed that wanting the woman to be caught was a realization that the world wanted him to have, and he believed that his life then made sense. Along with changing his mind about the woman, Dade went up to his mom and blantaly told her that he's “never going to discover anything” and that and that all he has done on the roof is “look at clouds,” (113). Reading this story, these lines seem simply confusing and a bit frustrating because he is now acting like his father rather than his mother. His opinions and views changed, which then led to a shift in the story and yet again his father's actions and influence led to dades views of the woman, which are now negative rather than positive in previous parts of the

Is is possible for a reader to dwell in a story, to become so caught up in it’s telling it’s as if you are living the life of the main character? This is how I feel when I read Lisa Wingate’s work.

TV shows like Family Guy and The Simpsons have the classic stereotypical outcast character. Usually this character is outcast because of their intelligence or odd way of thinking. I always seemed to identify with that character. I was not the only one in my family that thought that those characters and I shared a resemblance. As a fact my brother used to call me Meg all the time. My family always saw me as strange. For example, I liked to read and I cannot remember the last time I ever saw anyone else in my family pick up a book. My love for reading started at a very young age.

Narratives, even those that are nonfiction, are incapable of being a chronicle of unbiased facts. Instead, authors use tools to compose a reality for the reader, which undeniably affects how the story is interpreted. This is demonstrated by Oliver Sacks’ book The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat in the chapter “The Lost Mariner,” in which the doctor describes one of his patients, Jimmie, who suffers from Korsakov’s syndrome. This disease has caused Jimmie to believe that it is 1945 and he is 19, while in reality it is the 1970s and he is 49. His short term memory lasts for less than a minute, meaning that Jimmie can make no new memories, and therefore, no new relationships, connections, or stories. He is described by Sacks as a “man without a past (or future), stuck in a constantly changing, meaningless moment.” “The Lost Mariner” includes elements of narrative including canonicity and breach and particularity to tell a successful narrative that presents Sacks’ interpretation of Jimmie as a tragic hero.
