How James Joyce Challenges His Readers in Ulysses and Finnegans Wake

To read like a writer means knowing in advanced type of writing will be assigned. This is beneficial, Bunn argues, because when reading like a writer, knowing the style assigned, allows one to look for specific techniques in writing that they could adopt in their own work. To understand how piece was written, or to look back on his architect analogy, it is important to ask questions, assessing what “construction” techniques were effective in building a text. Before reading, one should ask himself who the audience is and the author's purpose in writing. While reading the texts itself, Bunn recommends looking at the style of language used and the effectiveness of evidence as well as the parts that don’t work or are confusing. While reading like a writer and asking these questions, Bunn encourages students to look for whether aspects are appropriate and effective as well as the positive or negative effect they have on readers. Bunn, in recognizing that every word choice made in a text has a certain effect, encourages readers to look critically at that effect in order to decide what strategies work should be adopted in their own

You smiled softly at how much he seemed to care for you right now. It seemed as if he’d do anything just make you happy... Which is why you dreaded what you were about to ask. “C-can you bite me?” you mumbled, ashamed of even thinking about it.

Azairah easily melted into him. It was the first time another human being had ever made her feel this way and it startled her, excited her and the selfish desires in her heart only wanted more. Her eyes closed as his lips embraced hers. Azairah kept her eyes closed, not that she could open them. The exulting, overpowering ecstasy of their first kiss that filled her core allowed her not to open her eyes but instead to stay there in his arms and let the moment soak into her. It was a rush and as he spoke against her lips, kissing between each word, he still managed a way to make her smile. "You're doing quite well for someone who hasn't kissed a woman in while so he claims," she said, not helping but to tease him as he'd teased her. "Hmm? What's this?" she spoke again through his words and affections. Azairah's dreamy eyes opened slowly. "And exactly how long have you wanted to kiss me, Kyle?" The sudden obnoxious applause pulled her back into their reality but swiftly Kyle moved with her, returning to their table. "Trust me... I know you won't betray me, love. You know what I could do if you did," she said cupping his cheek with one of her warm hands. Though before she could say anymore Kyle was on her

I cupped his face in my hands then pushed my fingers through is hair and tugged gently, he moaned and closed his eyes for a second. His lips moved with the words of the song;

He came in closer and his greenish eyes went impeccably blue, deep blue like cold oceans. “You see, my love, I could give you everything you could ever desire; be the love you never knew you needed, fill you with bottomless pleasure, and deny you nothing – neither my strength, my body, my power, my soul. I could give you all that you so desire, if you’d have me. For you shall be mine, and if given the chance, I could love you more than I actually

Fitzgerald and Hemingway’s perfectly represent their modern literature period by displaying the imagery of their novels way beyond any other writer of the period. Combined, the two remodeled the way people saw and read the detail in writing. Both imagistic writers display and represent a form of imagery that not only appears to the writer in an emotional sense but a physical sense as well. With this sense of imagery we are able to connect to the books through all of our five senses: touch, taste, smell, sound, and sight. This type of writing by these two often reflects on the readers by helping them connect to the characters in ways where they can step into their shoes for a moment and experience the story in a new perspective.

Now that I saw him I needed to touch his face and feel how soft he is. I asked, “Am I allowed to touch him?”
