The narrative structure of a story is extremely important because it is the reason the reader feels attracted or not towards the story. J.K. Rowling, the author of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, narrated her story in a way that makes it easy to comprehend and maintains the reader attracted to it. Rowling included several types of events throughout the novel that makes the reader follow the story without getting lost in the middle of the story. The author introduces characters without getting the reader lost, makes the reader dislike certain characters due to their characteristics, and presents conflicts between good and evil.

Lahiri writes about the story of Gogol Ganguli, who confronts his desires in life while struggling with conflicts regarding his name and issues with his parents’ expectations, all affecting Gogol’s searches for his identity.

Another item the narrator stores in his briefcase is a coin bank. Right before he is about to leave Mary (the kind lady who gives him refuge in New York) to join the Brotherhood, the narrator notices a “cast-iron figure

Finally, this book is further important as a reading tool since it successfully shifts a previous focus in which people saw education as just a road to employment, and focuses on education as a road to life. It is a tool with which readers can think critically and with the events in the book, a person can examine his or her life. More the reason why the book deserves a place in the reading list is the fact that it is interesting and enjoyable from the very beginning of events. It starts with the main character in a maze and unfortunately, he remembers nothing except his name. Likewise, other boys in the glade lost their memories and can only

I believe that a very prominent theme in this story is the struggles in society relating to classes. One of the things that Gogol most often points out is the dress and ranking of the characters in this story. For instance, the barber Ivan Yakovlevitch is described as a very dirty man who does not care about his appearance, probably emphasizing his lower class ranking. Kopek is described as very well dressed and has a somewhat higher ranking of “Major.” Meanwhile, when he spots his nose masquerading as a very high ranked man, it is dressed exquisitely. The nose draws envy of everyone with its appearance and apparent rank. The ludicrousness of a nose causing envy and admiration and fear in people, even in Kopek who owns it, really emphasizes how ridiculous Gogol perceives the class system to be.

In the novel “The Golden Goblet” written by Eloise Jarvis McGraw is about a young Egyptian boy who is abused by his half brother Gebu and find all his hope of getting rid of him in a delicate golden goblet.The most important event is when Ranofer finds the golden goblet in Gebu’s clothes chest because it persuades Ranofer to think about what Gebu is doing and to keep it a secret from his friends and follow Gebu around to see what he is doing.

Men in Golconde are motionless, floating in the sky, trapped and without a way to escape. Most people lack the willpower and motivation to achieve their dreams and take what they want from the world, or give value to the world, ignoring that the only limit to what they can do is set by themselves. The windows in Golconde are closed, meaning how nobody is watching the fallacy they are living in and how nobody will help them escape. This idea is like Plato’s Allegory of the cave, where men are prisoners in a cave, having their heads and limbs fixed so they only can see the wall in front of them. They have been in the cave since they were children and they do not know more than what they have learned from the shadows produced by fire behind them, they do not know that behind the fire is sunlight, and an entire world full of wonders waiting to be discovered. For the majority of people this cave where they are prisoners is their culture, and the way for them to be liberated is by knowledge, curiosity an urge to escape the world of relative ignorance where we feel comfort, although is difficult and even painful to escape. At the end, one of the prisoners is liberated and manages to turn around and see, but the light of the fire is too bright, he finds it difficult to overcome but he persists and eventually his eyes get adjusted to see the sunlight behind the flames, he walks out and still in pain, he observes all the detail of the new things surrounding him, the breeze, smells and his shadow, close to him is a river and he manages to see for the first time the true himself. We can be whatever we want to be, as Walt Whitman claims in his poem Song of Myself “I am of old and young, of the foolish as much as the wise. Regardless of others, ever regardful of others” (492). In other words, we are an essence that can be molded into anything, just as the prisoner of the

The Golden Goblet by Eloise Jarvis McGraw illustrates an excellent story about a young boy named Ranofer who lives in ancient Egypt. Ranofer must bear through tough times and jobs that no one would think a boy of his age could handle. Ranofer is an amazing person who could inspire lots of people to do what’s right even though it may be hard. This novel is a very thrilling story, educational, and entertaining. The most important event in The Golden Goblet was when Ranofer found the golden goblet because it made Ranofer think that it was more than just stealing gold, it scares Ranofer a lot, and he too nervous to tell anyone.

The old, snake-like man hissed in her ear begging her to listen, to follow his lead. Mesmerized by its words, the small girl walked in the garden and picked the golden strawberry that her mother had forbidden her to pick. The snake, then, coaxed the little girl to give him the strawberry made of pure solid gold. It explained that it was extremely poor and needed money to feed his family. He whispered sweet words that filled her with happiness. Happily, she dropped the treasure into the bony, opened hand while her mother’s mouth formed into a firm, thin line in the

The film showcased Gordie’s thoughts and growth with his friends. From his exterior of a young lad, wimpy and afraid, he had managed to mature in to an independent and confident individual. In the beginning of the film, he had been described, by himself, as a weird guy, since he wasn’t like his late brother, who was the favorite. He loved writing and was good at it, but the unfortunate reality he was in was comparison from his parents, who would rather have a popular kid with ‘normal’ friends later, made him diss his own passion. And this practice developed and later on gave him enough fright to accept his invisibility.

The reader is as surprised as Sophie Neveu is and wants to know how everything fits together – and reads on. In a way, this is also a key or turning point of the novel, because from that moment the reader is told bit by bit about the Holy Grail. This storytelling comes to a climax when Grail historian Leigh Teabing enters the scene, claiming that the Holy Grail is a person, more exactly Mary Magdalene and her descendants.

Over the past month, we read the Story of the Grail by Chretien de Troyes. This poem details the progression of the knight Perceval. In the beginning, Perceval is not called by his name, instead he is referred to as “the youth”. This is an important detail to stress, because the poem is a coming of age story. As the poem progresses, the reader is able to see definitive changes in Perceval’s character. For example, in the beginning of the poem Perceval uses the limited knowledge that was bestowed upon him by his mother in order to complete his “knightly” duties. To make it worse, Perceval feels the need to tell everyone he meets that his mother is the one that taught him everything he knows. Eventually, Perceval outgrows this behavior and becomes a suitable knight. Throughout the poem, Perceval goes through many trials and tribulations, but for the purpose of this essay I will unravel the allegorical meaning of Perceval’s fight with the Red Knight using all four levels of interpretation.

This Goblet Inscribed with the names King Akhenaten and Queen Nefertiti, is made of travertine, (Egyptian alabaster) height 5 ½ in diameter 4 1/8 in. (MET). When I look at this piece I feel it may commemorate a wedding, anniversary, or King Akhenaten’s deep love and affections for his principal Queen Nefertiti. This Piece encompasses the changes King Amenhotep is making in the Egyptian culture, as the previous artworks and vessels have a much different look and style. King Akhenaten has as of yet changed his name as the cup shows the name Amenhotep IV and his principal Queen Nefertiti. This places the goblet at about 5 years into King Akhenaten’s rule over Egypt. The Goblet is not a typical show of craft for that time in Egypt.

The truth was that there had been a "spy" all along, for just outside the last set of multicolored door that led into the golden orb, there was a small boy in dark green apprentice robes that went by the name of Gurbo. Gurbo's life had always been a sad one, he was abandoned as a child by his mother after his father had been killed by a Darke wizard by the name of Orm. Orm had been considered powerful in his day and had the strongest material magi-stone, made of pure magic, to make up his armor. This armor gave him unimaginable Darke abilities and he was feared by all, as it wasn't uncommon for him to steal whole villages at once.
