Literary Elements: Plot's Rising Action In The Time Traveler

When the Clock Strikes Throughout the years many stories have been passed down from generation to generation. One of the stories that has evolved over the years is the fairy tale of Cinderella. It is one of the most popular fairy tales to date because it has seen in over 700 versions and translated into multiple languages. Tanith Lee, a prolific writer of stories for young adults, took the Cinderella story, and reversed it with her tale When the Clock Strikes. In her tale, the Cinderella heroine character is a witch. Lee is able to turn the magic and the rest of the tale into a dark revenge story. Madonna Kolbenschlag, a literary scholar and feminist, wrote the article A Feminists View of Cinderella. Karol Kelley, a feminist and professor of history at Texas Tech, also wrote an article, Pretty Woman A Modern Cinderella, which shares some feminist views of the story. Both Kolbenschlag and Kelley have viewpoints that would explain why Lees story is more or less feminist. Both Kolbenschlags and Kelleys viewpoint on feminism would make Lees story ,When the Clock Strikes, seem to be feminist because the main character Ashella is active, aggressive, and powerful throughout the entire story, but since revenge is the main goal in Ashellas actions, they would think this contradicts feminist ideas. Throughout Lees tale, Ashella and her mother are very aggressive, unlike Cinderellas attitude in many other works. Kolbenschlag points out that a character who holds the qualities of a

Alienation - the state or experience of being isolated from a group or an activity to which one should belong or in which one should be involved. Alienations means you’re being excluded. Whether you’re not allowed in a group with someone or you’re ignored by your friends, those are all examples of alienation. In my life, I have experienced alienation, and it hurts, and feels kind of like abandonment.

Flight 2112 took off exactly at 4:00 p.m. Mr. Cartman had been waiting for this trip for a year now. Mr. Cartman worked as an employee for GE, and this had been his first trip since his wife, Polly, had died. The cheapest flight was to Miami, and that's where he was going. He had arrived at the airport at noon, quite early, hoping nothing would get in his way. He had never liked planes; being so close to so many strangers bothered him. But the thought of his vacation kept him motivated.

Wells it says, “I was ready to give up and die in this forien time that I had no knowledge about. With the time machine gone that seemed the only option,” which shows that the Time Traveler almost had no other option than to die in that future world. But it also says in the text by H.G. Wells, “But no. I would not let myself die here. I must make it back to my time” proving that the Time Traveler was forced to test his own abilities and limits, but he overcame the odds and wouldn't let himself give up. Although this may be a good claim it is not the best claim because H.G. Wells says, in The Time Machine, “It seemed hopeless and like I would never get home. But that didn't stop me. I kept moving forward.” which shows that even though all seemed hopeless for the Time Traveler he still didn't let himself give up, proving that perseverance is the most important trait in The Time

The novella The Turn of the Screw by Henry James is a rather simple story when viewing solely the external plot. The governess charged with looking out for two children takes care of the children, but as the story progresses her behavior becomes more and more strange and eventually culminates in her inadvertently killing one of the children. However, practically all of the major plot points involve the governess’s internal state—her descent into insanity. The slow decline of the governess’s mind is carefully crafted by Henry James and even causes the reader to question what is real and what is not. The author’s emphasis on internal events in the novella has the same effect as typical plotlines of this genre that rely almost exclusively on gore, bloodshed, tragedy, and other external events to provide the suspense and excitement of the novel.

Long voyages by ship are no longer a necessity to cross the world's oceans. Letters and packages arrive to distant destinations quickly and safely through air transport. Airplanes deliver supplies quickly to remote locations in emergency situations and restock military operations. Airplanes also improve medical care by quickly moving patients from rural areas to large medical centers and transporting organs to distant locations for transplants. In conclusion the airplane has shaped our culture immensely. It has changed the way we think. Today, if we want to go across an ocean, we would go by plane. Most people wouldn't even think of going by ship. If the airplane had not been invented, we would only think of sailing across the ocean. We also can visit more places and learn more about other cultures. The airplane has brought us closer together to people, friends, and family far away. It has also changed what we see as boundaries in the sense that we can travel to faraway places in a short time. A car ride that would take 6 hours, would only take about 1 hour and 20 minutes by airplane. Therefore in my opinion, the invention of the airplane is still today one of the greatest inventions to our society accomplished in the twentieth

The lack of necessities and the lifestyles of both groups had a large impact on the changes and continued to shape them into a new species. There are many ways in which the Time Traveller's theories clearly reflect Darwin's main points. Darwin's theory of evolution, "The Premise," has great relation to the Time Traveller's theories.

Before planes were invented, traveling from Raleigh to Los Angeles took two days; however, with a plane it only takes six hours, which is eight times faster. Scientists were trying to create a faster way of traveling when they thought of flying. Although there were many attempts from different people to try and build a useful plane, the first successful airplane invention was on December 17,1903 by the Wright brothers (Hawk, 2003). The world changed immensely before and after planes were invented. Moreover, the usage of planes changed the duration of traveling, War strategies, and the isolation of countries.

In this passage one may learn a variety of characteristics about the porter. First is that he is frightened at this point in the tale. The first couple sentences that the porter says, really shows how he is truly frightened. When he states, “God protect me. O lady, slay me not for another’s sin. All these men have sinned and offended, except me.”(103), this shows the porter rambling on and on about how he has not sinned. This is a characteristic of someone who may be frightened. Also in this passage the author makes it apparent that the porter gets frustrated with the scenario he is in. The part of the passage that shows that, is when the porter says, “By God, we had a delightful day.”(103). This short response sets up for even more frustration

The engines of the plane could just be described as huge. I remember having the sensation of going to another planet. I should have known that in many ways, I actually was. Everything kept getting back to me, my past, my inference of the future and all the goodbyes. Every single one of
