The Choice Structure Of Nicholas Sparks

For starters, I liked how everyone decided their own fate in life. Also, they wouldn’t be handed anything after they chose their path for life. An example from the text is “ Tomorrow at the Choosing Ceremony , I will decide on a faction; I will decide the rest of my life; I will decide to stay with my family or abandon them”. The quote was said on page 2 by Tris. To me the choice made by every person resembled what they believed in and their characteristics inside.

Tom Wolfe's The Right Stuff depicts the lives of some of America's hottest pilots and its first astronauts. These men include Pete Conrad, Chuck Yeager, John Glenn, Gus Grissom, Wally Shirra, Alan Shepard, Gordon Cooper, Scott Carpenter and Deke Sleyton. Some of these men were hotshot test pilots at Edwards Air Force Base, and some flew cargo planes. Some had impeccable service records, while others hadn't flown in a real dog fight for even a second. Despite these differences in backgrounds and credentials, Tom Wolfe turns each of these nine men into a separate and individualized hero.

The author decided to write the book this way because he wanted to foreshadow you in ways. The way he did this was to make the chapters blend with each other or to mix and make good chapters and a good book. Also the reason why he makes it all blend is because when you write or make a story or book, it doesn't just jump to one event to the next. But the author does the exact opposite.

Each of these are an example of foreshadowing, Travis telling them to stay on the path, resulting in Eckels stepping of the path, the man behind the desk explaining consequences for disobeying rules, which foreshadowed Eckels breaking the rules, and finally the result of the election, hinting at the change of the results in the end. When you pay attention to the beginning of the story, you may be able to catch the hints and predict what will happen in the future. Ray Bradbury’s use of foreshadowing keeps readers guessing and engrossed in the story to find out how it

In Three Day Road, flashbacks allow the reader to fully understand the novel and make the novel unique. For example, when Niska is talking about the letter she and Joseph Netmaker wrote, it solves a mystery. “It says that God understands if you must kill Elijah” (pg. 318). The flashback allows the reader to see what the mystery is and laugh at the fact that Joseph did not translate what Niska says carefully, even though he claims to have. Flashbacks allow the reader to obtain a better understanding of what trench warfare is like. ”The bottom of the trench is covered in duckboards that keep our feet out of the mud and water

The Flashbacks are used to recount the events that happened before the opening sequence of the film where Joel awakes and has no memory of Clementine, the flashbacks fill in the crucial backstory for us the viewer, The story is told from the most recent occurrences, then through past memory’s and pivotal moments of the relationship then back to the first day Joel and Clementine met.

Stephen King’s “On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft” is a marvelous and unusual text. Within the first part of his book, also called C.V., he explains his life experience up to the day he finishes the book. King expresses his life with multiple literary elements that assist the readers on imagining his life of adventures, catastrophes, fears, and loves. Following are three of my favorite passages that caught my attention.

In this paper, I shall focus on drawing comparisons and contrasts between “The Lottery” by Shirley Jackson, and “Young Goodman Brown” by Nathaniel Hawthorne. In her short story, ‘The Lottery’, Jackson uses a series of specific details and ordinary personages to describe the events leading to an unfair death. These details reveal the dangers of blindly upholding traditions and passing them to the next generations, without knowing much about the origin or the significance of the tradition. Jackson wisely incorporates various elements of fiction into the story in order to bring a create a vivid understanding of the meaning of her story and the message she is trying

The organization of the novel was interesting, because some segments of the book would flash back to past events, then go back to the present. The last segment changed the tone of the book and really made a focus on the nature of war, and the impact it can have on us. I think the plot device of the Catch-22 is interesting as well. Airmen that

Amid the late 17th century, Jonathan Swift’s pamphlet, A Modest Proposal, exploits the negligence of British government towards the Irish people. To illustrate the disregard of the government, he uses logical fallacies, metaphors, repetition and parallelism as well as humor, sarcasm and a satiric tone to highlight these negative attitudes. Not only does he applies these literary devices, he adopts Francis Bacon’s, The Four Idols, to exemplify the intention of the pamphlet. Adopting Bacon’s ideas of the corruption, illusions, and errors of people in society, Swift had the ability to demonstrate the government's disregard towards the people of Ireland. Bacon’s his ideas regarding society are proposed through four idols: “Idols of the Cave”,

Making choices result in actions that ultimately determine fate. Being passive means to not make your own choices; no effort is made to change what is presumed to happen. Often times in ancient epic poems multiple Gods have agendas that affect humans. In the Aeneid by Virgil, Dido is portrayed as a victim of destiny, but is not passive: she makes deliberate, thought out choices in her relationship with Aeneas such as when pursuing him as a husband and when plotting her death that clearly mark her as an active participant in her own fate.

Already I can tell that this book is more difficult than most other novels I have read. It seems as though Roth is in favor of using long sentences and complex vocabulary. I sometimes had to reread sentences a few times because there was difficult vocabulary I needed to look up and the sentences were long. I needed to read each sentence piece by piece to make sure I could understand what the author wanted to convey to the reader. Although the text seemed overwhelming when I read the first few pages; once I began reading sentences in increments I could more easily understand the text.

The context of the book is well organized. Archer divides her text into five chapters, and every chapter has an introduction and a summery, which is really helpful to read and get the message at the first glance.

Nicholas Sparks was born on December 31, 1965, in Omaha, Nebraska (Jessica Estremera). He was the second of three children born to Patrick Sparks, a college professor, and his wife Jill. Nicholas spent the early part of his childhood moving around with his family as his father finished up his graduate work (Biography Channel website). "Because my father was a student until I was 9 years old and my mother didn't work, we weren't exactly living the high life when I was little. I grew up on powdered milk and ate tons of potatoes, though to be honest, I never noticed how poor we really were until I was old enough to take an honest appraisal of things. Even then, it didn't matter. For the most part, I had a wonderful childhood

The book is divided into 5 parts, and each part is further divided into sections. The short sections make it easy to read, easy to access and navigate around. I wished I read it very slowly. I will surely recommend it to friends, and people that want to be aware of their motives.
