Stream of Consciousness: One of the most commonly used literary element in The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is the stream of consciousness. Stream of consciousness is the portrayal of an individual's point of view and their thought process. Huckleberry Finn narrates the novel, and he often interjects his thoughts on the events. The story is told exclusively from Huck's perspective, and every instance is seen through his eyes. Since the story is told in past tense, Huckleberry Finn's stream of consciousness does not always strictly stick to the events at hand, and he often skips over many days to get to the next part of his tale.

Author O’Brian also confuses the reader by writing his novel as if everything that was told took place in the real world. For example, just by saying “this is true” (64) doesn’t always make it true. O’Brian leaves it up to the reader to distinct what they see the story as: reality or fiction. It is said that “a true war story… makes the stomach believe” (74). Author and character O’Brian tell the story in such a way to make it believable that the two different people are really the same person.
Diction After deciding the structure and the other related norms of writing the sentence, the next step should be the diction. Diction is in fact the writing style of the writer, which sometimes also depicts the mood of the writer. The writer can use the narrative tone, the descriptive tone, and any other style. But some of the major things that should be considered in writing the effective writing include clear thoughts and concrete abstract concepts. Mixing and intermingling, the text can make the reader confused and overall the image of the writing is conveyed as
James Adagbon English 2/2B Mrs. Berry September, 11, 2013 Stephen Vincent Benet’s short story “By the Waters of Babylon” expresses the speaker’s attitude towards the place of the gods using many literary techniques. Two of the techniques that spoke to me were the mood and figurative language used in the story. Mood is one element in the narrative structure of a piece of literature. To put in simpler form mood is the atmosphere or predominant emotion in a literary work.

Taruna Seebaransingh Dr. Vijay Maharaj Ms. Shannon Julien LITS 2307 16th November 2012 Brewton (2005) defines literary theory as the body of ideas and methods used in the practical reading of literature. In other words, literary theory refers to underlying principles, or tools by which we attempt to understand literature. Therefore, in the novel Midnight Robber, Hopkinson spearheads a literary masterpiece through which the theories of postmodernism and post colonialism is most applicable and can be effectively read. There is no set definition for the theoretical viewpoints, but rather an assorted array of characteristics associated to the terms which can be described as postmodern or postcolonial. Nalo Hopkinson’s Midnight Robber portrays a manifestation of various characteristics of postmodernism, such as irony, the incredulity of metanarratives, temporal distortion, pastiche, technoculture, hyperreality, intertextuality, metafiction and histographic metafiction, as well as characteristics of postcolonialism such as Orientalism, pluralism, identity, double consciousness, colonization and resistance.
