2. When fiction authors write a book it is sometimes mistakenly thought that the author is revealing something about themselves in their writing. This is not always true. The ease of writing about one’s own life is an easy path to follow, because writers are first taught to write about what they know. This should not be a reflection of the fiction or non-fiction being told, it should merely be based upon the conviction of the story and the readers ability to connect to it.
An author’s job is to utilize language in a way that his readers will have a great understanding of a story. Sometimes, this task cannot be carried out to the fullest. One writer experienced horrific events as a World War II concentration camp survivor. His goal was to make the reader experience what he did, but he knew that his audience would Never be able to actually feel his experience unless they were actually there. Even if the reader were to have similar accounts he would still not be able to grasp the author’s complete meaning.
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. His aim in the novel was intended to direct the readers more away from the technical facts and more towards the subjected facts. By doing this the reader could establish the bond between an audience and the soldier telling his story. In the end we learn “Story-truth is truer sometimes than happening –truth” (171. ), but determining what is reality and fiction can sometimes be
When writing, knowing how to write a summary, paraphrase, and quote a source is key conveying your ideas without plagiarizing someone else’s. While developing a summary there are some key things to remember. When you are summarizing someone else work you must read and understand the authors work. Without understanding the context and main points of someone’s work you will not be able to put it into your own words. Although it is unreasonable to think that while writing a summary someone can be completely objective, that is the goal.
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). Chapter 19 also contains authorial intervention. The authorial intervention in this chapter helps to not only tell the story but commentates the dialogue of the characters “she could not use the short pause he allowed in any attempt to stop him farther, and he continued.” The authorial intervention seems to show Austen’s annoyance towards Mr Collins who seems to constantly talk and helps make the reader sympathise with Elizabeth for being on the other end of his constant speeches. In all, through Austen’s use of the third
This was important because without the interest of the audience, the point you were trying to get across was nearly useless. The issue or message of the paper usually consisted of using the subject to try and convince an audience. This could be done through persuasion, explaining, narrating, or informing to an audience. Overall, the rhetorical triangle is important to writing because it gives you a clearer vision of the relationship between the speaker, audience, and issue at hand. With a good understanding of these relationships, it makes both your analysis of a story and your writing more
They release Christopher with only a stern warning, under the condition that he promises to them and to his father not to look into the murder any further. Christopher chronicles his investigation in a book—the book we are reading—as part of a school assignment. Ignoring repeated warnings from his father, Christopher investigates the crime scene and conducts interviews with the residents of his block. He uncovers a more tangled plot than was first apparent when he discovers that his father and the owner of the slain dog, Mrs. Shears, had a romantic affair. He subsequently learns that their affair began in reaction to another relationship, one carried on between Mr. Shears and Christopher’s mother, before she disappeared from Christopher’s life.
The person who says he knows what he thinks but cannot express it usually does not know what he thinks.”* In addition, the kinds of ideas we are concerned with in this book—solutions to problems and issues—are most meaningful when they are communicated to other people. Chapter 14 explains how to present your ideas
Not only having control methods to shape a story, you need a protagonist to guide you through it and really make you predict what might happen. In these two stories the protagonists really bring the story together and gives the reader a way to relate to the story, even though the protagonist in each story are complete
Easy A An author, the executive director of the Plangere Writing Center, and an English professor, Richard E. Miller, writes a literature piece called, “The Dark Night of the Soul.” He discusses the true meaning behind reading and writing, and the correct way of how it should be used. He relates his standpoints to real life scenarios, such as the Columbine High School shooting in 1999. How technology today has influenced the two boys, Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris, and how unbelievable it is that these two teenagers could mastermind a whole scheme, and kill 15 people, have a cache of weapons, and posses a homemade bomb. Miller discusses the dark life behind people, and how they choose to express themselves through literacy. Miller also uses
