As with all of Pride and Prejudice the story is told by an omniscient narrator in the third person. This helps create perspectives from all the different characters, which in this chapter is mainly Elizabeth and Mr Collins. As well as using the third person to help aid the telling of chapter 19, as with most of the novel, the story of Elizabeth’s rejection of Mr Collins is told through the dialogue between characters “ I am very sensible of the honour of your proposals, but it is impossible for me to do otherwise than decline them”. This doesn’t just allow the reader to gain an incite into the story but also helps them to draw their own conclusions about the characters. For instance, Mr Collins long, pompous speeches help the reader to realise his character within the novel and how he is a person who is full of pride in himself (which is one of the themes of the novel).
Mairs uses tone and word choice, which are important to show her authority on the subject and to express her feelings while at the same time explaining her life story and usage of the word "cripple." In this story there is a certain tone of importance, which can also cross the readers mind as sad and angry because of the way she brings it about. Her opening phrase in the second paragraph, "I am a cripple" (Mairs 12), leads the reader to wonder what she actually feels about how she has to live her life and why she is so blunt about it. The tone can be seen as being insensitive just because of the first sentence of

B) First Nation children suffered physical and emotional abuse. 1) I was torn away from my family and herded away to be 'scalped' by nuns, and powered with DDT, then showered in severely hot water. ( Acoose 1995). 2) The nuns' threats of eternal damnation, of haunting visits from Satan himself or the desperate souls of purgatory intensified my fears.

Through Another’s Eyes: Point of View in “The Yellow Wallpaper” In Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s “The Yellow Wallpaper” the narrator’s point of view through first person narration gives the story it’s truly intrinsic tone. As the reader is lead first hand along one woman’s descent into madness, the fact that this story is to an extent autobiographical further increases the importance and appeal of the first person narrative. The story in itself has a deceiving prose, with the narrator initially appearing upbeat by the use of exclamation marks, sarcasm and humor but revealing to the reader that she is considered mentally ill by the outside world. Gilman’s personal experience with the depression and treatment described in the story undoubtedly comes forth in her ability to narrate “The Yellow Wallpaper” in such a believable manner. The narrator’s delivery from start to finish keeps the reader off balance, thus adding to the frightening style and evolution of the story.
Irony is used in many places such as the story’s title, the setting an even in certain character’s personality traits. In addition to Jackson’s use of irony, the black box and the story’s title represent the importance of questioning irrational traditions and the unexpected nature of death. With the use of these two literary techniques, Shirley Jackson is able to highlight important dramatic events within the plot. Reading this story allowed me to better understand the importance of questioning society. If people would have questioned Hitler’s plans before he gained too much power perhaps we could have prevented the horrible mistreatment face by the
While then, Liesel writes the story of her life, containing both tragedy and beauty, at a fevered pace. Liesel has come to the realization that words can cause both violence and comfort, and she strives to make them "right" by combating propaganda with writing that emanates from love. The reason I chose this quote to be a part of one of my passages is because it gives a great deal of explanation of how
Wuthering Heights How does Emily Bronte convey the importance of Heathcliff’s introduction to Wuthering Height on pages 44-48? In this essay, I will be discussing how Emily Bronte introduces Heathcliff to the novel; and how important the way that she does this, is to the novel as a whole. I will be focussing on Emily Bronte’s language choices and the narrative viewpoint, i.e. Nelly Deans’. I will begin by discussing the reliability of the narrator, through whom we are first introduced to Heathcliff and then I will examine the reactions of the different characters when Heathcliff is first introduced to them, by Mr Earnshaw.
To access the thoughts and feelings of the main actors in the novel is to vicariously experience their passions and so their narratives stand out against the more objective narratives of Lockwood and Nelly as well as offering more potential for discussion with other readers who may feel more sympathy for some characters than others. Lockwood is the main narrator who introduces us to the characters of Wuthering Heights - his entrance to the house is the point at which the reader also crosses the threshold and it is his thoughts we read at the very end. This narrative ‘framing’ effect neatly encapsulates the story and provides an element of objectivity in contrast to the testimonies of the more passionate main characters. Even when it is apparent his welcome is not as warm as he had expected, he continually demonstrates good manners and his educated language is notable and in stark contrast with the nearly incomprehensible local dialect of Joseph upon whom he comments; ‘I charitably conjectured he must have need of divine aid to digest his dinner’ (Bronte, 1847, p.4) When considered
