Narrative- transformation

The Effect of Transformation on Fear Like moths attracted to a bright, hot light, people often ignore the long term psychological consequences of watching or reading frightening tales for the short term thrills and self gratification. However, in order to enjoy this good thrill, people crave a tale that carries out its role in creating the emotion of fear the most intensely within us. In the most popular horror or thriller novels, there is a regular pattern of the use of transformation in order to

1 2 THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF MALCOLM X Introduction Malcolm X?s autobiography written in collaboration with Alex Haley is an exciting story of personality transformation. During several years, Malcolm X told Haley his biography in several extensive interviews. Haley described and orchestrated the stories and Malcolm X edited and endorsed every part of the book.

and desire for acceptance and community that is driving this man forward rather than what he is physically doing in his attempts to rise up in the world of movie making. In film, the motivations behind a character’s actions cannot be seen, so the narrative space of the story can begin to seem pointless and disconnected. In movies focusing on some great quest or task, it is easier to see the mind and

think that physical disability is a bad thing, and people with disabilities are strange and difficult to get along with. Carver’s “Cathedral” is telling a story of transformation of the attitude of a normal person towards the disabled people.

It follows the protagonist

his early manhood, now that he has made his life and habits and his feelings all so different. He says it often, as we all do childhood and old age and pain and sleeping, but it can never anymore be really present to his feeling.

Kerouac was ecstatic at having established ″a new trend in American literature″. It is the American writer Burroughs and Cassady given Kerouac useful models of autobiographical narrative.
