John Steinbeck made the plot interesting and the themes behind the work were truly brilliant. The book had its points were they were very descriptive but didn’t keep me interested enough. Reading through those boring parts is completely worth it though. Steinbeck makes the book easy to understand and i like that quality a lot about this book. In my opinion, I got the idea that this book was written more for the workings of the mind but at the same time Steinbeck wanted to make you feel something as you read this.
Faulkner talk about a writer not writing from his heart, and how “His griefs grieve on no universal bones, leaving no scars.” I believe that by bringing us into is world, Richard makes his pains our pains, thus doing as Faulkner says a writer should do, “grieving on universal bones”. Next, in his second paragraph, Richard reverses the feelings of the reader, shedding new light on the topic of his parents, making them out to almost seem like bad people for not being educated. What’s really special about this essay is that we know the parents have done nothing wrong, and don’t deserve the poor treatment they receive from their son, we can understand it
It was split in this way because it’s a novel that deals with a person’s development or to an extent their spiritual education therefore there is no need to go over these main four parts. 5. There are several themes addressed in the novel such as Murder, since Grenouille is a murderer, greed since everyone wants to take advantage of Grenouille’s talent, acceptance as people seem to disregard Grenouille since his different also themes such as black humor and hatred of humanity. 6. Personally I don’t think Grenouille is immoral, rather amoral but the things he does are immoral.
John Quincy Adams may have been going through hard times just because of the stress of following in the footsteps of his great father and mother, John Adams and Abigail Adams. This book will also talk about situations that happened to John Quincy Adams and what his response to the situation was and even the emotions he felt, “…with regard to John Quincy’s state of mind at this time, it suggests not that the young Puritan had been suffering from anything that might reasonably have given rise to an uneasy conscience but rather that morbid conscientiousness may have contributed to his recent distress,” (106). Throughout the book the author stayed pretty neutral in every case, he just mainly wrote this book in reflection of what he thought about the situations that were presented in John Quincy Adams journal or
The dialogue of a story is an important part of characterization because it allows the readers to see into the characters minds and examine their motivations. Cain’s use of dialogue in this story does not utilize this idea to its full extent. This lack in understanding of the characters seems to have a negative affect on the depth of the plot as well. This shallowness of the characters makes the plot seem to move quickly and out of sync with the in depth, careful planning that goes with planning a successful
He shows that he is honest when he says, “I am one of the few honest people that I have ever known” (Fitzgerald 64). Although Nick has close friends, he is not completely trustworthy if them. Nick proves that being honest makes him a better friend and a man of good character. Nick also portrays trustworthiness by being honest to Gatsby about Daisy. Although Gatsby needed to leave town, he “couldn’t possibly leave Daisy until he knew what she was going to do” (Fitzgerald 155).
Javillonar 1 Shemaiah Javillonar AP Literature Period 0 The Great Gatsby In the book, The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald, Nick, the narrator, narrates in 1st person; involving interpretation of the novel’s events through the narrator. Nick watched the events unfold, like the illustrations of the book are two eyes looking over the city, which would be Nick, who is a witness in the story. There are so many reasons why Nick is a reliable narrator. Nick is a reliable narrator because first of all, Nick is cousins with Daisy whose husband is Tom which they met at college and he is also next door neighbors with Gatsby so he makes a great eyewitness for these three, off the batch because he links all of them together which sets most of the main ideas of the story. If Nick wouldn’t have known or have been close to most of the characters he wouldn’t have been reliable because he could’ve been making up the story and making assumptions about all of them.
As Holly Martins, Joseph Cotten shows a strong sense of morality, justice, and loyalty; he ends up struggling to make the right decision in a constantly changing situation. Even in this ambiguous situation, Martins acts readily on his moral sense, making him a predictable but volatile character. Trevor Howard as Major Callaway makes a good counterpoint for Cotten. He shows a strong morality himself, yet he's not above manipulating Martins into helping him. The film steadily constructs a curious picture of the missing Lime through the comments of those who knew
Yours always, Jay Gatsby July 6th, 1923 Jay, My head is spinning. I had not expected to see you again, especially in my cousin’s house. I did not know what to say when I saw you. I did not know how to express my feelings, how to express such unexpected joy. After you left for war, I could not suffer.
Storytelling is important to human existence because it is a means of capturing memories of the past and incorporating them into ethical and everyday life. Memory and ethics coincide with each other as one can be an explanation or an observation of the other; without one, the other would most likely not make sense. Goodbye Lemon written by Adam Davies is a wonderful example that exudes the power of storytelling. The narrator, Jack, writes of the many different personal qualities and traits his deceased brother Dexter might have possessed, since Jack was too young to have any memory of his brother. Through the prologue of Goodbye Lemon , Davies wants to convey to his audience that you can bring any character to life through writing.
