Liberty Julia Alverez Summary

* The author creates suspense by starting with the slow beginning and then making the story faster and more attention-grabbing. The author cleverly manipulates readers sense of disbelief by eliminating the possibility of police help or parental understanding. The author reveals the serial killer to the reader at the end of the story. By that time Duncan keeps searching him. Author slowly reveals the clues out of the lost journal of serial killer to make readers focus in the story. Also with the slowly

The first way the author creates suspense in the story is by foreshadowing. When Captain Torres walked into the barber’s shop, the barber, “Started to shake,” (Tellez 1) indicating that the barber felt instant fear, when his enemy approached. This foreshadows that the barber knows the man and that he will be deciding to kill him or not. Foreshadowing creates suspense because it is a clue given to the reader. It is the reader’s job to guess what is going to happen in the story and that is what makes it interesting. Without foreshadowing the reader won’t be able to prepare what is going to happen next. Another scene where the foreshadowing technique is used was when the barber came up with his reasons to not kill Captain Torres. The barber contemplated in his mind, “Don’t want to stain myself with blood. Just lather, and nothing else,” (Tellez 2) which foreshadows that the barber is not going to commit murder.

His diction was informal which really created a connection between the author and the reader. It almost felt as if you were conversating deeply with someone you knew personally. This also added a very deep emotional aspect to the piece. Next, the author used abstract words such as courage and intuition. Also, abstract subjects such as life, death, and love.

In the short story “Liberty” by Julia Alvarez, the author uses figurative language to create tone of mystery and fear. In the fourth paragraph, the author writes how they were afraid; for example, when the narrator states, “On their faces when they talked of leaving there was a scared look I also couldn’t understand,” the reader is left wondering why they are so fearful. The author does this to help set the tone and mood of the story. The author also uses the characters to show the tone of the story. Mami is frightened and mean, while Papi is brave

The author was very heavy in the Pathos category. He invested strongly in using stories and vivid language to get their point across to the readers. For example, in paragraph 4 the author talked about living north of New York City. Talking about how most of the vehicles people would see on the road would be an SUV or a light truck. They went on saying

In the short story, by Kate Chopin, themes are expressed through symbolism. The main theme portrayed by Chopin is freedom. This concept of freedom becomes prevalent when

Every good story has some part where it gets suspenseful. In the stories, “The Most Dangerous Game,” “Liberty,” and “Harrison Bergeron” there were situations of intense suspense. In “The Most Dangerous Game,” an example of suspense is when Rainsford was noticed by Zaroff while he was laying on the branch. “The general’s eyes had left the ground and were traveling inch by inch up the tree. Rainsford froze there, every muscle tensed for a spring. But the sharp eyes of the hunter stopped before they reached the limb where Rainsford lay; a smile spread over his brown face.” That was a suspenseful situation because Zaroff easily found Rainsford, and just smiled before leaving him unharmed. In “Liberty” an example of suspense is when the narrator was taking Liberty to her cage, and strange men tried stealing Liberty and kidnapping the narrator. “Two strange men in dark glasses were crouched behind the hedge. The fat one had seized Liberty by the collar and was pulling so hard on it that poor Liberty was almost standing on his hind legs.” That was a suspenseful situation because two strangers tried kidnapping the narrator it wouldn’t have ended so well, because they could have used her to scare her family into

Freedom and liberty in the mind of Isabel are something

Through an intellectual lense he is able to add to the story in which it feels less like a prose piece and more like an extension of the manuscript we may have actually stumbled apon. It is told through logic rather then emotion, like a news segment, where all the events are laid out to the reader, then afterwards you are able to react. The rare thing this story is able to do, which is inflict personal fear into the readers minds makes it a terror story. In the end he reveals the uncle

the most important literary elements in the story. He takes a young black boy and puts

The next literary device the author utilizes is foreshadowing. The author hints at the reader in numerous ways, which builds curiosity, anticipation, and

literary devices such as point of view and symbolism to give it a more dramatic effect and add to the madness the narrator portrays.

The kind of literature they use was a climax, conflict, and foreshadowing. These impacted the story because they were talking in these kinds of ways throughout the whole story. I think the most powerful one in the story was the climax because it was one of the stories that had you out of your seat wanting to know what will happen.

Freedom is a sensational feeling you don’t get everyday and this story tells just how free a women feels after realizing her husband is not dead. Mrs.Mallard's sister came into her house, to tell news about her husband's death because Mrs.Mallard cannot be surprised or feel a strong feeling cause she has heart problems. As her sister is there trying to explain what happened her husbands friend comes to spread the tragic news on her husband and there’s a newspaper on who was killed in the big accident. She slowly rushed herself to her room and shut the door and locked it and her sister tries to get in and make sure she doesn’t do anything wrong and Mrs.Mallard

Freedom means opportunity. Opportunity to speak, have political or national independence and be the person you are. While many butterflies are free to spread their wings, many others suffer in captivity, which only can dream about how a life with freedom feels like. In the short story ‘’Sorry for the Loss’’ 2008 by Bridget Keehan, light I shed on yearning for freedom. This is depicted in the contrast of the two characters that we meet: young and criminal Victor and chaplain Evie. Things are about to chance, when she visits Victor at the prison to tell him the bad news.
