A story within a story is another technique used by the writer to support her mission in forming the children’s imagination and make them feel like they are heroes in the novel as well by sharing with the protagonist. For instance, in The Giver, Jonas’s father and mother usually tells him stories in order to justify his questions and fill his need for knowledge. Also using the flashback technique while narrating a story, makes the reader be pulled into the reality of story and reveals the true nature of characters of the novel. Both techniques of a story within a story and flashback are important for character development throughout the novel. The meeting between old and current characters usually leads to forming and developing the current

In the beginning of the novel, the reader is introduced to the idea of flashbacks, which remain short and are intertwined seamlessly within the text. The readers learn to be active when reading, and also pay close attention to the details within the flashbacks to learn more about the characters that their past lives.
A story may depend on the structure of the book and how well it flows from page to page, but yet it strictly depends on the word choice and how effective the author is able to apply rhetorical devices. Stories such as A Separate Piece, A&P, and The Man I Killed, is able to effectively portray the character’s emotion, thoughts, and the intent of their actions. The authors use heroic, rhetorical strategies to reveal Tim, Gene and Sammy’s struggle to overcome their own selfless desires and ignorance toward the consequences, resulting with each protagonist’s life lesson.
Storytelling (or in the case of this novel, "talk-story") also plays a crucial role in this book. Within each chapter, there are other smaller stories that are a part
For example in the seventh man by Haruki Murakami, is a story inside a story, and this guy tell his story which is about a kid and his younger disable friend go to the beach during the eye of the storm, the younger kid which is K get swept away in a wave. The author carries the guilt of K dying all his life which caused him to have nightmares, he moves to a different town. His father dies, and he gets K’s paintings.

Stories use narrative to involve the responder in a range of experiences. Storytellers use narrative techniques to establish a setting and shape the characters personality. This is shown in Henry Lawson’s short stories the drover’s wife and the loaded dog as well as Roger hargreaves picture book little miss sunshine.

The way characters participate in stories, leaves remarkable expressions on how they are presented throughout the story. For instance, it can be what the character says, or it may be the actions that the characters engage in. By the way characters are being portrayed in a story, is a major role on how readers can determine their thoughts about the character. Different stories no matter the type show many similarities and differences between them. The narrators of “The Tale-Tale Heart” and “The Yellow Wallpaper” both had perceptible similarities and differences told throughout the stories that contributed to create a unique story.
At that time, Billy discovered woman’s secret, thus he precipitated himself into troubles. The author uses foreshadowing to clearly show the suspense of the story, which shorting the distance between the reader and the story and giving the sense of tension to them. Usually, the environment describing shows the setting of the story in order to affect readers. As the story began, the author writes the background of the story
The outcome of the individual citizens receiving their own memories would make them a stronger human being. If the memory they had gotten was poor or alarming, they would learn from it and not do it again or prevent it from happening. An example was the war memory, “From the distance, Jonas could hear the thud of cannons. Overwhelmed by pain, he lay there in the fearsome stench for hours, listened to the men and animals die, and learned what warfare meant.” (p.151). If the memory was informative, the citizen would be able to learn from it. If they received a joyful memory, they would bring it back to the community and want to make it happen. An example is the Christmas memory, “ Jonas felt joy of it as soon as the memory began.” (p.154). The
In the beginning, the main character is introduced. Twenty years have passed since the internal story and it is being shared as a story to the main character’s daughter. The story is being told in a manner that shows a certain disassociation. As if the father
In every story, an author has to creatively develop a central theme for their story. Most authors use certain literary elements very intricately to convey a simple theme, and other authors use basic literary elements to get a complicated theme across to their audience. In the short stories, “Man from the South,” Live to Tell, and “Refresh, Refresh” each author uses a different form of rising action to create character development. The character development created in each story helps the reader to understand the plot and identify a theme in the text.
Flashback The element of Flashback is widely used and it is an important tool in the stories, which I have chosen. The narrators are all looking back on certain events in their past, which has influenced their current lives. The narrators of both The Tell Tale Heart and The Black Cat have murdered an innocent person. It is also stated or implied, that they are now being punished for it.
Dare to Dream begins with my all time favorite film technique Flash Back. The women start by going by into the 80’s looking a photographs of themselves taking it back to where it all started. Flashbacks gives us visual information that cant be shown to us in any other way. The purpose of the flashback is to connect the past with the present to show give an insight of the characters to show whats going on moving forward. The flashbacks takes us back in history in where they were stereotyping women in sports to what they were willing to do and endured during the time. It shows how this group of outstanding women elevated soccer to the level of achieving World Cup victories and greater viewership than for any other soccer match in U.S. history.
