"…It wasn't just the war that made him what he was. That's too easy. It was everything – his whole nature…" – Eleanor K. Wade

Intertwined within the novel is the presence of many different genres including letters, articles and magazine clippings, and pictures. At first sight there is the

Children do not come with guidelines or instructions. What they do come with is a crucial set of physical and emotional needs that need to be met. To raise children properly, parents duties are not limited to just food, shelter and protection. Parents are largely responsible for their children’s success in life. Parents are required to teach and educate children. They have to shape knowledge and character into their children to prepare them to face the real world. To be successful with this, parents must provide self esteem needs, teach moral and values and provide discipline that is both effective and appropriate. As the generations have changed, many parenting styles have evolved, as well.

Parenting is not one of the easiest jobs in the world to have; you either are responsible enough to parent or you're not responsible enough.You have to be able to raise a child from birth and teach he/she all the necessary tools to succeed in life. As said in The Blackwell Encyclopedia of Social Work, “Parenting is the process of promoting and supporting the physical, emotional, social, and intellectual development of a child from infancy to adulthood” (245). All parents will raise their children in different ways, whether they are very strict or they’re lenient, others can be easy going and strict depending on the situation and the way they group up will shape them into who they become as adults as shown in The Glass Castle with Jeannette Walls and her parents.

A typical novel, flooded with the complexities of the author’s creative mind, conveys the plot amidst vivid descriptions of the setting and

3.) What is the genre of this work (what type of writing is it)? _________________________________________

In the Lake of the Woods is about ghosts, personal and national, and about the impossibility of escaping them. Author Tim O’Brien poured much of his own likeness into protagonist John Wade. Wade grew up in Minnesota and like O’Brien, he served in Vietnam so he could maintain or get more love from his peers and family. Like O’Brien, he likely committed some wartime sins and like O’Brien, he cannot escape the past. However we see a key difference between the two mean as O’Brien confronts his personal demons through writing and admitting publicly his faults, while Wade prefers to suppress the past and at making all disagreeable memories disappear.

The author writes the story in a very interesting way. The way that there are only a few descriptions scattered about and that it focuses on dialogue is what allows us to figure out what the characters are speaking about and to find the intentions behind their words. The subject of this short narrative stands out boldly. Though it was written in

Genre is the French word for 'type'. Type is the kind of text it is.

The story I’ve chosen to analyze is the film Finding Nemo. Some of the themes illustrated in this film are friendship, trust, family, fear and perseverance. In this film there were plenty of moments where Marlin the clownfish encounters complicated situations to find his son Nemo. As his journey to find his son continues, Marlin faces his fears and becomes braver than at the beginning of his journey. One of the important lessons in this film is that we should overcome our fears, and let nothing come our way in our journey to move forward. This film also teaches parents a valuable lesson, stating that there’s no perfect father or child. Many great elements are represented in this film, which work together to make this film educational, humorous

In order to analyze the story it would help to have a guide on what is going to be explained in this paper. The first part of the paper talks about themes, some of these themes can be easily over looked since there is layer upon layers. The second part, will explain the use of tone that helps sets the stage, and the mood of the whole story. The use of imagery is present as well, for example the use of words like dry and wet, can be found when

However, the novel’s genre is undefined, and subtly incorporates a blend of genres into a carefully constructed framework such as, gothic, melodrama, sensationalism, satire and caustic irony. The serialisation was visual and contrasted with Hardy’s dramatic use of imagery and artistic convention. Most people are not aware that the chapters sent to Stephen were not only sent in month by month, but temporal and correspond to the calendar year month with month.

Remarque shows his individual style of writing through the structure and timeline of this book. Remarque’s writing style uses lots of small words along with small phrasing. The tone of the author also changes with the situation. When shooting occurs the tone of the book changes from content, to super seriousness. Remarque will also skip many weeks in detail that speeds up the timeline.
