In the short story Eleven by Sandra Cisneros, the author uses literary techniques to characterize Rachel. Sandra uses literary techniques; imagery, point-of-view, and repetition to characterize Rachel. Imagery was used to describe how Rachel feels in the text. The author explained how she felt in a way that people could imagine it. For example, when Rachel says “my whole head hurts like when you drink milk too fast.”

This story is told in the first person point of view. The author chose the story to be first person to build a connection with the reader, and to tell stories from their own perspective, since they are more reliable than being told by someone else. First person also allows the reader to create a relationship with the protagonist and get to to know the character by the choices he made and the life experiences he had.

The whole novel is written in first person point of view. How does this perspective help the reader to better understand the novel as a whole? If this novel was written in third person point of view, what are some differences that may appear?

In the 1st person point of view the reader sees the story unfold from the perspective of the narrator. Many novels use this convention such as classics like Catcher in the Rye and Treasure Island. This point of view allows the reader to sympathize with the narrator/main character and place themselves in the lives of these characters. Because of this, however, 1st person narration is limited and biased. The narrator can only know what is taking place around them and even then, the narrator can be considered unreliable due to being able to change certain

2. The author’s point of view is from a first-person point of view. An example of this would be when she writes “I have to confess: I was suckered by the trailer for American Sniper” because she wants the public to know that before she really knew who Chris Kyle was, she too saw him as this great American hero and that she gradually saw him as less than the American hero that she and everyone else saw him as, but as more of a person who was just killing because it was fun.

In the novel, the author uses characters in the novel to narrate the story in their eyes, therefore being a first person but in some parts in the novel, the narration is seen from an omniscient point of view. Though the novel is mainly first person, some can argue that some parts are in different point of

These books look at each gender on an entirely different level of each other. The roles they fill are completely different. Socially they are held to different standards. I found this to be something that stuck out to me while reading this story. Women are looked at as property that switches from the fathers to the husbands in marriage. Likewise women seem to feel the need to have a man in their presence. These situations are throughout the story.

We follow the life of Sayuri, who begins as a peasant in a fishing village, as she becomes a geisha. The real interest of this book is in the first half - her training and schooling.

High school graduation rates are not only a public health crisis for the country and there is a local problem with high school graduation rates in this community as well. All non-profit hospitals are required under the Affordable Care Act to conduct a community health needs assessment (CHNA) every three years (Showalter, 2017, p. 446). The CHNA is performed for the entire community, and not just individual organizations and gives a lot of insight in the health needs of the community. The data gathered from the most recent CHNA in 2015 shows that Stark County ranks forty-one out of the eighty-eight states in Ohio in terms of overall health outcomes (County Health Rankings, 2015). The risk factors that are correlated with not graduating high

Authors often break away from the traditional narrative format and formulate a story consisting of flashbacks to give the reader insight on information and events not previously given to us. As shown in Oscar Casares’ short story, Mrs. Perez, flashbacks are combined within the story of her life.

Just imagine this, you are walking down the street one day and you see a statue of a soldier. After your walk, you do some research and figure out why he had a statue erected in his name and the importance of this man. Flashbacks are similar, you may see a deeper meaning after the flashback and realize what the author was trying to tell you. You may also understand why a certain character has a conflict with another, a flashback could explain the original fuel that fueled the fire.

The men and women in this novel have very different parts into society. They are very different not only based on situations in places of power but more so the workplace, men are shown as physiologically and mentally superior to women. This also claim to be the most situations in life overall. In the other hand women do have a way higher standing when it comes to social roles. In the book men claim to be in a higher way of status than women in all types of situations. We can also tie this into our own society, because in

In the beginning of the passage the writer uses short sentences to create and set a scene with the character. As the character is beginning to ‘do’ something, the writer begins to use longer sentences that contain a various amount of adjectives. These adjectives play off one another which keep the fast paced rhythm of the story. Sayers uses three paragraphs. The first one to introduce the character, the setting and, the time. The second to introduce the plot, the dilemma and the atmosphere. Lastly, the third paragraph finds a solution to the dilemma and all is good again. The character directly speaks to the audience once throughout the passage. This speech conveys the character’s depression to leave the bell’s piercing sounds.

The radical feminism theory is used to identify the patriarchal oppression in the novel. The patriarchal oppression that emerge in the novel occurs in two aspects; biological and sociological. In biological, woman’s oppression is more directed to women’s body and its attributes,
