By calling into question the truth of his stories, he disorients readers who are expecting to read a standard fiction, where the events are undoubtably false. He also shows readers why reinventing a story may be more important than telling the story just as it is remembered. Norman Bowker disapproves of O’Brien’s first attempt to describe a horrific battle, and, therefore, O’Brien feels the need to rewrite the story. Essentially, O’Brien must remember the event in a new way that makes the story more real for Bowker and other readers. Finally, O’Brien explains to readers why stories must be told, even with the risk telling the story the “wrong” way.

Despite the collection of poems being published under the guidance of her husband and poet Ted Hughes, Plath had outlined an arrangement prior to her death which is where the main debate regarding the authoritative edition of Ariel arises. The two versions, whilst containing a similar selection of poems in a similar order, result in different expressive functions. Perloff argued that “Plath’s arrangement emphasizes, not death, but struggle and revenge, the outrage that follows the recognition that the beloved is also the betrayer, that the shrine at which one worships is also the tomb”[1] whereas Hughes’ Ariel arrangement has been seen as his attempt to make the text less personally aggressive to himself[2] by his critics and simply as protective of those the more lacerating poems were aimed at as well as including stronger poems[3] by his supporters. The difference in reactions to the two versions of Ariel suggests that each version’s authorial intention differs despite supposedly being the same text.
Charlie Stack Mrs. Polomeni English II 27 October 2011 “Fire & Ice” The poem “Fire and Ice” written by Robert Frost was first published in the 1920s. Robert Frost is considered the bard of New England. He wrote in great depth that appealed simple to readers, but there was deeper meaning if you looked closely. Although poetry has many different interpretations because it is structured on opinion not fact, the poem “Fire and Ice’’ may seem to come off as the geological hell of the world, but if you look closely it portrays the theme of hatred and desire. The poem has a rhyme scheme of A, B, A, A, B, C, B, C, B.

Paper Number 2: Gaddis Chapter Six While reading Gaddis’ chapter six, he focused on how to question causation. He uses E.H. Carr’s fatal flaw as a big example for the distinction of “rational” and “accidental” causes. Gaddis also gives an alternative view on procedures of causation, and additional procedures historians need to keep in mind when narrate the reality of history. Carr explains rational causes as, “lead to fruitful generalizations and lessons can be learned from them.” While he says that accidental causes, “teach no lessons and lead to no conclusions.” Gaddis claims that Carr clearly confused himself as well as his readers about the differences between the two. Gaddis claims that not explaining clearly the distinction between rational and accidental causes is the more serious problem with Carr.

Swift is also targeting an audience that he believes is ignorant. He is mocking the politicians of Ireland and how they are creating illogical plans to bring Ireland out of the debt crisis that it was in during his time period. Swift was simply providing another plan to help alleviate Ireland of this debt. Swift and Larkin may both be writing satires however they are not approaching these in the same fashion. Larkin points out a problem and offers a solution but does not defend it because it is an insolvable problem and does not have a solution.
Modern stories are often told in an objective, distant, even ironic voice, whereas nineteenth-century stories were usually told by passionate narrators who infused their own strong opinions. Because we are not used to encountering this brand of subjective third-person narration, it is tempting to conclude that Hawthorne and the narrator of “The Birthmark” are the same person. In recent years, however, critics have suggested that Hawthorne never put himself into his stories but consciously created narrators who had distinct voices of their own. These critics argue that although Hawthorne’s narrators are often pious and preachy, we shouldn’t automatically conclude that he shared these characteristics. It would be a
An Analysis of Walter Benjamin’s works Writing this assignment has been quite a task because despite the commentaries and reviews online, I still find his work very random and all over the place and not very easy to understand. I also find some of the explanations very contradictory, although this may arise out of my misinterpretation. Walter Benjamin (1892-1940) was a German-Jewish literary critic. He was a Marxist and was influenced a great deal by Bertolt Brecht and Jewish mysticism. Walter Benjamin is a modernist in the sense that all his criticism has been done with the purpose of liberation from that which is redundant and of no use in the future.
