Characterization showed the true personality of Miss Emily and how her father’s death shaped her. The many issues in this short story all started at how Miss Emily was raised. She was raised to only rely on her father, who was very protective over her. When

The narrative technique of stream of consciousness has often been called difficult, amongst other adjectives. Given that it has no precise flow and rules to it, a “stream of consciousness” narrator is known to run rampant and wild in how they tell a story. They abruptly veer in different directions as a means to best mimic the way the mind works. It’s a somewhat simple narration strategy to write, but it’s incredibly hard for someone to read. However, in Clarice Lispector’s Near to the Wild Heart, the stream of consciousness narration helps the storytelling process by emphasizing the novel’s focus on introspection and thoughts as opposed to plot as a way to give the reader the opportunity to empathize with Joana.

The short stories, “Turned”, by Charlotte Perkins Gilman and “The Good Corn”, by H.E Bates provide strong examples of how the representation of characters influence’s the reader’s perception of a text. Both stories depict similar characters: a middle-aged, childless wife, her husband and an 18-year old girl who works for them. They are both about a similar situation: man cheats on wife with girl and girl falls pregnant. However, the author’s of the text are from very different backgrounds and this is reflected in their stories. Although there are many similarities between “The Good Corn” and “Turned”, the values reflected in these stories, their resolutions and the reader’s perception of them are vastly different due to the contexts of

The style of the narrative point of view is vital in the meaning the author wishes to convey in their novel. The narrative of the text is imperatively central in the way in which the events of a novel are expressed to audiences, the way these are framed is very important in relation to the effect it has on the reader’s impression of the events. The basis of the reader’s understanding and opinion of the events in a text is hugely dependent on the outlook and perspective from which they are described. With the assistance of the narrative style in The Awakening, Edna’s journey to realisation of the self and her ‘awakening’ is made apparent to the reader, as we are given insight into Edna’s inner-turmoil and thought process as we see her reasoning

If John’s mother’s death were to be a surprise this novel would be a thriller, rather than a tragedy. The knowledge of John’s mother’s death before it happens makes the experience of her death richer and more interesting because the foreshadowing caught the reader’s attention. The same can be

The literary and narrative techniques in a piece of writing are used to make up the story. Characters, setting, plot, and symbols are just a few of the possible elements that authors use to create a story. Each of these qualities are important to develop a storyline, in which readers can relate and understand. Like all literature “The Jilting of Granny Weatherall”, written by Katherine Anne Porter, is constructed of literary and narrative techniques. The way Porter portrays these techniques allows readers to understand the theme of betrayal. “The Jilting of Granny Weatherall” uses characters and symbolism to demonstrate the impact of betrayal and disappointment and how it changes a person’s life.

In recent decades, Cormac McCarthy has staked his claim as one of the all-time titans of American literature through publishing masterpieces like Blood Meridian, Suttree, and The Road. In his works his advanced level of technical mastery becomes apparent through his expertly harmonized coordination of literary elements toward certain narrative ends, such as the generation of suspense. In this light, McCarthy’s literary style is a practical one, in that he organizes literary elements in his works toward actualizing particular goals. In The Road, for instance, McCarthy directs his style throughout the text so as to maximize the feeling of suspense that readers experience throughout the book. This kind of stylistic maneuvering is expressed on pages 105-110 and pages 118-123 of the the text. But, it must be noted here that the generation of suspense in these passages does not result from similar stylistic approaches. McCarthy uses style in differently in Passage A and Passage B but ultimately toward the same end, namely generating suspense for readers of The Road. Passage A relies on dialogue to develop its suspense, whereas the style of Passage B relies on narrative action for its suspense.

Throughout the span of time there have been many great scientists. Thomas hunt has stood out through his practice and was one of the scientists to help create the chromosome theory of heredity. Morgan was in school for the majority of his life either as a student or as a professor. He also helped the world understand more about genetics in a very proactive way.

In this article, Clay compares the iconic works of Charles Dickens’ David Copperfield, Leo Tolstoy’s War and Peace, and Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice in order to argue for the vitality of flat characters. Through the use of these extremely contrasting novels, Clay contends that when used correctly, flat characters can be as memorable and impactful as seen in the likes of Pride and Prejudice. The vitality of flat characters is a pushing point of both Elizabeth’s lack of a hero’s journey and proving Austen’s literary ability; thereby allowing this article to have dual uses. Had Jane Austen not made her flat characters as impactful as she did, Elizabeth may have been able to experience a complete hero’s journey. However, seeing as how Austen has expertly utilized her flat characters, as proved by this article, Elizabeth has yet to complete her hero’s journey. This article was multitudinously helpful to us as it added as extremely important point to our IOP topic to which we had not thought of previously.

Introduction: An elderly woman tasting freedom for the first time;a pair of rivals being trapped together in a precarious situation; The Interlopers and The Story Of An Hour have wholly distinct plots, involving characters who are nothing alike, in circumstances entirely different. The two stories appear to have no relation whatsoever, but there is much more to be found beneath the surface. While The Interlopers and The Story Of An Hour seem to have nothing in common at first glance, a more in depth look at them shows that while there are a lot of differences between them, there are also a lot of similarities to be found.

Although “Miss Brill” a short story by Katherine Mansfield seems to limited to Miss Brill’s point of view, it is actually written from third person limited omniscient point of view. Mansfield expertly demonstrates how the narrator describes a character using the character’s own thoughts. She utilizes this point of view (p.o.v.) so that readers can differentiate between reality and imagination. Even though this fiction has two narrators, Miss Brill and an unknown person, it needed both to produce an understandable, interesting narrative.

The passage from the novel Tom Jones by English novelist and playwright Henry Fielding is about Squire Allworthy finding an infant in his bed. The author uses direct and indirect characterization to establish the personalities of the characters within the story. Along with characterization, the use of diction infers the reactions and other qualities of Mr. Allworthy and Deborah Wilkins. Furthermore, because of the techniques fielding employs in the scene, one is able to characterize Mr. Allworthy and Mrs. Deborah Wilkins.

We are presented with a piece of gossip of a man named Wakefield who leaves his wife for twenty years to live in a house the next street over. If this story were workshopped in a present-day fiction writing class, it would be argued that this story has interesting elements but is not, as a whole, an interesting story-- that the story lies within Wakefield’s motivation for leaving or within the reaction of Wakefield’s wife upon the return of her presumed-dead husband, or that the point of view ought to be reconsidered in order to tell the full story. Much of

Thomas Biebighauser is a wildlife biologist and wetland ecologist. He mostly discussed wetland drainage. Draining wetlands began when farmers tried to create farm land on piedmont hillsides. However, the farmers would lose soils from the water running down the hillside, causing gulleys to form at the bottom. The drainage of these wetlands became critical for the harvesting of crops. People began to dig ditches because a ditch eliminates standing water and lowers the elevation of groundwater. Farmers dug a ditch at the top of the mountain, called a diversion, and a ditch at the base of the mountain, called a stream. Farmers that wanted to farm remotely flat land could also dig ditches to drain wetlands. For example, a technique used was called

A conventionally romantic novel usually focuses on the relationship between a physically attractive man and woman. The hero and heroine usually meet early in the story and fall in love at first sight. The two lovers may, more often than not, have to overcome obstacles in order to be together, but in the end, it seems that love conquers all. Pride and Prejudice does fall into this 'romance' category; it's often considered the most romantic novel of all time. But there are certainly elements of this novel that drive completely against the cliches of a conventional romance novel, and this essay will attempt to pinpoint those 'elements', and argue whether or
