Throughout the entire book Tim O’Brien was as deceptive as they come. When introducing us to the other characters and him, O’Brien dissolved the barrier between truth and fiction. Along with this barrier went the reader’s trust. No longer was there the individuality of truth and fiction but now there was more like a dangling ambiguity of every little fact in the story. From the length of the grass, to the color of Mary Anne’s culottes, it was all probably made up.

This proves how much it really means to him.Most people in their twenty's would not even do this work that is this hard, and he is also an old man.
Disappointed as I was I realized its not always the subject as much as it is your form and process that gets the grade I learned to pay more attention to my technique and process. When writing an essay or paper I tend to get nervous, scared and even intimidated. I often question if I’m using correct grammar, punctuations and form. Inexperience usually gets the best of me and I freeze. I remember when writing was fun, but it feels more like a chore to me now then
Ahab showed how futile and useless vengeance is because he was so much interested in revenging Moby dick that he forgot the main purpose of the whaling activity. ”I am game for his crooked jaw, and for the jaws of Death too, Captain Ahab, if it fairly comes in the way of the business we follow; but I came here to hunt whales, not my commander’s vengeance. How many barrels will thy vengeance yield thee even if thou gettest it, Captain Ahab? It will not fetch thee much in our Nantucket market.”(pg.311).The above extract is when Starbuck was complaining about how he wants to hunt whale but not because his commander wants to revenge the whale that took away his leg.in as much as Ahab was warned about what he was about to embark on but he didn’t listen and at the end of the day he ended up losing his life due to the fact that he taught the could beat nature (by trying to kill the whale). He also symbolised wickedness, Ahab had no source of kindness in him especially when he allowed captain Gardiner- “I will not go,’ said the stranger, ‘till you say aye to me.
The evasive, deceptive and revisionist characteristics of his narrative will in turn be considered, as factors that motivate yet control Stevens as a narrator throughout the book. As with Ishiguro’s first two novels[1], The Remains of the Day is told from a first-person narrative perspective, that of Stevens, the ageing butler. Traditionally, first-person narration creates a confidence between the narrator and their audience but this is never established between Stevens and his ‘real’ reader for within the first few pages of the novel it becomes clear that Stevens is addressing an ‘imagined’ reader. Phrases such as “As you might expect” (Ishiguro 1990:4), “Now, naturally, like many of us,” (1990:7), “but you will no doubt appreciate” (1990:14) and “But you will no doubt also understand what I mean when I say…” (1990:29) lead us, the real reader, to the understanding that Stevens has assumed certain prejudices about his narratee. His narratee almost becomes a projection of himself and his own values and the real reader very quickly sees through the fact that Stevens cannot see outside his own prejudices and social sphere.
