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.
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
Hill’s use of the first person narrator is a key element of the novel. Susan Hill’s characters in this novel have limited development because the story is told by the main character, Arthur Kipps. His character is developed in an interesting way because as narrator he is looking back and describing events from the perspective of his younger self. This adds depth to his character and to the plot because as readers, we live through his nightmare with him and share his fears. This viewpoint is particularly effective in this chapter, as readers, we can relate to the terror and anxiety felt by Arthur.
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
“A sad sympathy filled her eyes. Sharada lowered her knife”. Her personality appears to take a radical turn, though it is not documented through a conversation. Due to the fact that the authentic character of Sharada is exposed mainly through her psychological and inner expansion, leaving the audience to fill in several facets of the story in its maturation, this story can not only be placed under the Poe genre of short stories but it can also be set in the category of the “ideal short story” stories within the Poe
Professional writers can no longer claim that they do not encounter struggles while writing their works. Using humor and elegance, Lamott proves to the reader that the struggles encountered by professional writers are the same struggles encountered by amateur writers. In order to complete a composed work, all writers must consider the reality existing within the writing process, write an unorganized elementary first draft, and block all pressures surrounding one’s writing. Successful writers will make use of these strategies when facing the difficulties of writing. I have utilized these strategies during the writing of this paper and have endured the dreaded writing
It is difficult to decide exactly how many types of fiction there are and what kinds of fiction they are. However, most of readers will agree with the idea that there are two broad classifications which are literary and commercial fiction. The literary fiction focuses on offering intellectual stimulation and broadening understanding of the world, and of the human beings while the commercial fiction aims at satisfying expectations and needs of readers, and bringing pleasure to readers. “The Destructors” by Graham Greene is a short story that dramatizes the rebellion of a group of youths who had grown up in the post-war conditions of life, never known a reality other than war and its aftermath are against society. This drama story helps the readers to understand why a group of teen boys are against the society.
I considered a good writer to be anyone who could effectively convey a message to a reader. Since going through the first two units, I have learned that good writing is quite a bit more complicated. Author Keith Grant-Davie discussed how important to good writing it was to analyze your subject matter to understand who all of your possible audiences are and who you may be representing when writing your material, and to address all parties appropriately. If an author can do this effectively, I believe that it is a crucial part of becoming a good writer. Unit one also taught me to reevaluate how important certain priorities when it came to writing.
These words are also very encouraging and eye-opening to me because I used to think the emotions described were a sign that I was not truly a writer. It is refreshing and comforting to know that even a successful novelist such as Waters experiences the doubt, fear, and strain that I feel when writing. This statement discredits the idea that writing is always fun and free-flowing. I feel like I can now, after reading this, write with a little more confidence because I know there are others out there—groaning, wondering, and panicking—just like
Introduction Writing essay is not easy thing to do. Selecting an appropriate topic, making an outline, organizing every sentences and paragraphs become unity and coherence are not enough to produce an essay inasmuch as writers have to be able to narrate and describe their argument, experience and knowledge in their writing in which it can attract the readers to take a look, enjoy their writing and feel satisfied when they finish reading the essay. For some cases, some writers narrate and describe their arguments, experience and knowledge even fact in an essay by offering something special with those things in order to attract and make the readers become satisfied with the essay. Unfortunately, something special in an essay , it can be special
