This is structurally emphasized by the layout of the novel on the page. It is clear through Fitzgerald’s use of paragraphs that there is a clear conscious thought which remains constant throughout. “At first I thought it as another party, a wild rout that had resolved itself into ‘hide-and-go-seek’ or ‘sardines-in-the-box’ with all the house thrown open to the game. But there wasn’t a sound.” The long sentence structure contrasts the shorter sentence that follows it. This consequently implies a tense sentiment amongst the characters, which further enforces the tension that Fitzgerald seems to create within this chapter.
“The Yellow Wallpaper” Reading “The Yellow Wallpaper” by Perkins Gilman is enough to make anyone feel crazy enough to relate to the story’s narrator. This story effectively uses fast paced descriptive language to describe the main focus of the story, which is the wallpaper. This constant recurrent picture is analyzed over and over to the point where it is nearly impossible to picture the vivid details of the ever-changing design. With this repetitive text, I believe that Gilman is trying to simultaneously keep the reader entertained, while offering firsthand looks into the obsessive mind of the narrator. Toward the beginning, the story maintains a typical gothic feel.
She uses onomatopoeia many times during the text to describe the “Rat-tat-tat-tat” sound that the gunfire made to make the reader better imagine what it was like to be there at that time. It also helps shift the audience toward her side of the coin so to speak, in that it creates a harsh reality of fear for the reader which is unexpected from such a small sound. Chang also uses climax in her writing during the chapters so that at the middle of every chapter the reader feels that they reached the worst of the violence and tragedy and it also hooks them into wanting to read more to find out what the next big thing is that will happen in the next chapter. Chang uses hypophora in the beginning of the text to inform the reader of what kind of things they will be educated on regarding the Rape of Nanking. This is shown to its full extent on page nineteen when she lists many of the questions first time readers might have about the
The Hunter or The Hunted Suspense entices readers when reading stories to continue reading on, and it keeps them interested in the story. In Richard Connell’s story, “The Most Dangerous Game,” the reader is fascinated with the narrative and with the increase of tension and suspense in the story, so much that he must read on. Richard Connell makes effective use of literary devices, particularly powerful foreshadowing and vivid imagery, to increase tension and suspense in the reader. Richard Connell employs powerful foreshadowing to cause the reader to feel suspense in the story. In the beginning of the story, Whitney’s consideration of the fear of the prey and Rainsford’s dismissal illustrates foreshadowing.

To begin the analysis of the surreal events, we should start from the title of the story "The Bucket Rider", and then moves towards the surreal event related to it. Next, analyze another important event, in which the wife of the Coal Dealer chooses the bucket rider's ill fate. Lastly, compare what the man is begging for in the story, compared to what people normally beg for in real life. This story relies upon its surreal events to keep the reader's interest, as very event that occurs helps develop the story and eventually conclude it. As I began reading the short story, right off the bat I noticed there were many events present in the story that did not really make a lot of sense to me.
In ‘The Devils Wife’ Carol Ann Duffy’s presentation of Myra Hinley can be interpreted in many ways. The language Duffy uses is effective in showing the corruption of Hinley by Ian Brady, this effect is created using the short sentences and language which is blunt and doesn’t flow well. This effect makes it seem as though everything seems to be happening very fast for Hindley as if she's got no control over her own actions almost; 'I know it was me who was there.' this make it seem as though she is acting without thinking as though she has no personal control and it shows the corruption that has come from being obsessed with ‘the devil.’ The language used is very blunt, this helps the reader see how Hindley is drained of humanity because of Brady, ‘He held my heart in his fist and squeezed it dry’. Sentences ans sections of poems are repeated which gives the impression of Hinley slowly losing her mind throughout the poem.
additionally, "silk" is a luxurious item, and the phrase suggests that war removes luxoury, affecting the child's life as they no longer are able to have more than they need, making them less privileged. the poet uses symbolism to explore children's feelings during the war. The image of a "jaw of glass" gives the idea that the house is screaming, symbolising the children's pain. the word "jaw" gives the connotation of sharpness, linking to the bitterness and pain. The poet is explaining how the aftermath of bombings can be worse than during them, as you see the destruction and scream in horror.
English Essay on ‘The women in black’ In my English essay I am going to be exploring how does the vocabulary link in with the setting?’ and how it affects the reader. As I have been reading the woman in black I have been getting notes to develop my knowledge of vocabulary and how to use it when I have been reading it has been a very emotional book from when he has ghostly experiences and the way she uses the vocabulary to set the scenes.

She develops her language by using words such as melancholy this means deep and long-lasting sadness a example in the book ‘with an air of suffering
“The Awakening” By Kate Chopin Kate Chopin uses many different situations and different settings in the novel “The Awakening” to get her points and aspects of the story across to the readers. Throughout the story Chopin also uses many different literary techniques and situations to explain the characters and their place within the story. Chopin seems to be very specific at points, but also very vague when brining new characters into the story and the meaning behind such characters. From the many different aspects of the story the significance of the ending of the novel seems to be the most important and most interesting within the works writing. Chopin seems to use many different themes and symbols throughout the story to portray Edna’s character and way of life that causes the many problems and difficulties for her.
