The point-of-view is third person limited. The two characters Brille and Hannetjie are both major characters, however Hannetjie is a dynamic character and Brille is a static character. These few points are very important because they affect and change the story’s outcomes. The point-of-view affects the story because it allows readers to learn that Brille and Hannetjie have similar situation as they both have families. After Brille is beaten for eating cabbage that is supposed to be sold, he starts to think of how his children would beat on each other.
The opposite of this would be first person narration, the kind of narration Divergent uses. Roth used this type of narration to be opinionated, so that Beatrice can stick up for what she’s done, even if she does something clearly evil, it’s her opinion whether it is. This method of narration plays with the readers emotions much more than third person, because you see everything from one person’s perspective. The type of narration is a key component to what kind of a book it is, certain books are better with a certain type of narration, Divergent, using first person narration is very emotional while Enders Game, using third person is
In the short story The Prisoner Who Wore Glasses there is one particular African prisoner Brille who, for the most part, dictates how his entire span will be treated. Brilles span was referred to as span one which is another name for the prison work forces who worked in the field picking cabbage all day. Brilles span is known as the worst in the camp because they are political prisoners who have little to no guilt, they were not ostracized from the community and are also assertive, and very knowledgeable. Therefore they go through several warders a year due to the fact they are so hard to get along with. This short story shows the happenings between prisoner Brille and Warder Hannetjie.
So the crew had to find a way to make the grub taste better, or at least edible. Jessie was with Purvis and Purvis explained to Jessie the rock hard biscuts he was given, is to smash them into trivial bunches and eat them like that.

If someone wants a pretty bad meal, ignore this. but if they want a good meal, keep this tip at handy.
It shows that are people who look out for others before themselves and those that only want to benefit themselves in anyway they can. The Salesman and the Counterman are just figures to help represent these two kinds of people in todays society. Eugene Ziller is an excellent writer in that he has all these hidden themes in the story. His word choice helps the reader to understand the mood of the story and what is surrounding the
Ryan Lawson ENG-101 10-09-09 Anne Lamott has written a humorous essay describing the difficulties encountered by writers when attempting to write a thoughtfully composed work. When reading, “Shitty First Drafts,” several strategies were encountered regarding the successful composition of a piece of writing. Considering how writers work in reality, writing an unorganized elementary first draft, and blocking all pressures surrounding the composition of a certain work are all useful strategies when facing the difficulties of writing. The following paragraphs will describe the usefulness of these strategies during the complicated and often dreaded writing process. In her essay, Lamott emphasizes that both professional and amateur writers encounter obstacles during the writing process.
There are several themes to this short story, but the most important theme is race discrimination. This story took place around the 1940’s when black South Africans were political prisoners for being frequently assertive. Some examples of imprisonment would be speaking out in public against the government or protesting government policies. Brille went to prison for having political beliefs, because he wanted peace and equality between blacks and whites. This story reflects the time when racism was a big problem in Africa.
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
Bessie Head, the daughter of a black father and white mother, was born and raised in South Africa. While in her twenties, she moved to a farm commune in Botswana, fleeing the apartheid of her homeland. “Head’s familiarity with oppression and the daily difficulties endured by its victims produced in her work a heightened sensitivity to the necessity of human decency. In “The Prisoner Who Wore Glasses,” oppression and decency turn out to be complex matters,” (Head 667). Brille, the main character, is a political prisoner from the aforementioned apartheid.
A person’s ability to participate in the culture of the past has relied heavily on his or her ability to read or write. A poorly constructed tweet imitates a poorly created thought. In most jobs, the ability to write has and remains an important skill. It separates the worker from the boss who can leave instructions and count on those things being done. He basically is saying that an employee who can write accurately is more valuable and promotable than one whose unclear text is likely to create a misunderstanding, problem, and
