How does Sebold use representation of speech and to her stylistic techniques to present the character of Grandma Lynn in the novel? It is clear from the start that the character of Lynn is to be perceived as a flamboyant and abrasive character, though still has a caring element, although this does come about in rather an unorthodox manner, this emphasises Lynn’s eccentric nature. From this episode the audience witnesses the beginning of Lynn’s mission to turn the grieving house upside down with her wild behaviour and give the Salmons the thing they need most: that there is life without Susie, with her abrasive personality providing the audience with subtle humour. In the novel, we are first introduced to Grandma Lynn in a way which suggests she lives glitzy lifestyle, “She liked to hire limousines and drive in from the airport sipping champagne while wearing what she called her ‘thick and fabulous animal’”. Due to this being the first thing we are told about Grandma Lynn and the fact we are told this is in fact her ‘usual style’, the reader can infer that this is the first thing that people see when they notice Grandma Lynn, and this is also the first thing that Susie remembers of her Grandma.
The Lovely Bones 9/3/14 Brief overview: My book was about a girl named Susie who was murdered by George Harvey. He lured her into his underground fort in the cornfield late after school. Susie’s parents tried everything trying to find her. The detectives then found out she was dead. Susie’s dad kept trying to figure out who her murderer was.
In "A Barred Owl", the speaker uses words like "domesticate" when discussing terror, to bring the happenings of the poem closer to the reader's idea of home. Wilbur's writing is much more grotesque and uncut than Collins', in that his diction emphasizes phrases like, "eaten raw" (12), and "her darkened room" (2). In contrast, the diction in "The History Teacher" is centered around innocence and hope, creating a sense of security in the history teacher's lies. "took place in a garden" (11), and "white picket fences" (18), emphasize the speaker's sense of homely-ness and hope in
The Lovely Bones is a very interesting story in which Susie Salmon is murdered and then finds herself in a place like Heaven called the In Between, but her Heaven isn’t like many peoples’ modern belief of Heaven. From here she can watch peoples’ lives down on Earth. She can also have anything she desires if she wants it hard enough. From Heaven she watches her family deal with her death. It has many themes and tells a tale worth reading about.
She still wants to grow up and live, but now, since she cannot experience actual living, she must be content to watch what happens on earth. Three days after Susie disappears, Detective Fenerman tells Jack the police have found a body part. Susie's parents have difficulty dealing with the horror of their daughter's disappearance—neither wants to believe that Susie is dead. In addition to the body part, the police find various objects belonging to Susie that indicate she was killed in the cornfield: a copy of the novel To Kill a Mockingbird, her biology notes, a love letter from Ray Singh, and her winter hat. This last item convinces the Salmons of Susie's death.

Alanna Stokes English 115 – TR 3pm February 13, 2014 Paper 1 Ann Boyce Compare and Contrast Force In the short stories, “The Lottery” and “The Cask of the Amontillado” the authors use characters that use force to control others. Also, both stories have victims that killed as a simple punishment that they didn’t deserve. Fortunato and Tessie Hutchinson are these two victims. The people in control, Montresor and the whole town, thought they were doing the right thing. These people were supposed to be their friends.
O’Connor’s use of imagery and Laurence’s use of diction create two distinct characters. In “A Good Man is Hard to Find” we are introduced to the misfit, an escaped murderer who later on kills the grandmother at the end of the story. In “Boys and Girls” Laurence gives us a character known as “the father”, we are not given a name but instead his behaviour throughout the story. He to commits wrongly actions in murdering not only injured horses but healthy ones too. “The girl is not surprised to later learn that her father has recaptured and killed the mare” (Korb).
