Throughout the novel he treats her like an object to be conquered and controlled, expecting nothing more (and nothing less) of her than to be quiet and pretty. This becomes clear very early on in the novel; what is less clear is Osmond’s reasoning or motivation behind his obsession with being in control of Isabelle. His speech and thought processes, however, reveal that his rationale behind his overbearing possession is directly correlated to his love of collecting art. He, simply put, is a collector of fine things. One of the first moments in this novel when Osmond’s desire to collect things beyond inanimate art is first alluded to is when Ralph tries to politely describe him to Isabelle in Chapter 34.
It is my opinion the writer used this element well, as it grabbed my attention and made it a fun and interesting reading. It also built that small mystery regarding if she was speaking the truth or not, as midpoint thru the reading it made me question her gender preference which I found humorous. In Brady, J. (1971) “I Want a Wife,” she used the final statement “My God, who wouldn’t want a wife?” in order to draw a conclusion to the reader that she was making a statement based on experiences. The way I Plan on using the literary elements in my essay would be by using Tone and Language expression that will help the reader paint a mental picture of a current situation within my essay.
Point of view is important to any story, because it can help create the mood, and setting of a piece. "The Tell-Tale Heart" is a good example of this. In "The Tell-Tale Heart" Poe uses first person point of view to produce suspense and tension, while letting the reader try to determine the thoughts of the narrator. Throughout the story, Poe is cautious how he portrays his words. The way he does depicts them creates a sense of anticipation that makes you feel as if you are observing the whole event, frame by frame.
These secrets are necessary to the novel because they start the setting and mood of the characters. They also show the characters personality and insignificance of them to have just one identity and personality. As the plot reaches its peak more secrets are being kept such as; Jack’s true identity kept by Miss Prism and Lady Bracknell, the two men’s secrets, as to their fake brothers, and their true identities. The
Minnie Schwarzenegger HOW DOES FRAYN CONVEY TENSION AND FEAR ON P130 Frayn uses a number of language techniques and descriptive methods that engage the reader, enhancing the effect of every technique and sense, as well as purposely drawing attention to detail and his particular choice of words. Through this, Frayn is able to create a tense atmosphere and actively engage the reader, conveying the underlying theme of fear and tension in this passage. The first of Frayn’s language techniques is his use of the narrative. Stephen’s narrative of the “Barns” is entirely detached from Keith, with no mention of him until the very end. This prevents distraction from his stream of consciousness like narrative, the focal point shifts from what he is describing – to how he describes it; in the present tense, as if his memory were taking him back to his childhood, this helps to involve the reader, which automatically heightens each idea and motion.
The explicitness of these techniques coupled with the format of the poem (dramatic monologue) allows the reader to delve deeper into the mind of the murderer, arguably the purpose of the poem. Browning also uses repetition to create a sense of jealousy. The repetition of ‘mine, mine’ emphasises the desperation of the voice to be in control and to have ownership. Not only does this add to the narrative by increasing
In taking her readers on this journey, Roach sought to inform them about the strange and important lives of people postmortem, something which is rarely thought about or discussed. She accomplishes this through the use of syntax, a wide variety of facts, and well placed humor. One of the initial things the reader will notice is the way the text is presented, and Mary Roach definitely uses syntax to her advantage. Roach writes in first person, which is unusual for a non-fiction book. By doing this, she makes the book read like a narrative, providing the text with intimacy.
The way in which she presents text is innovative and exciting and having studied some of her examples, I experimented with similar designs and created some of my own pieces in her style. I particularly like the images she uses in her pieces; they are childlike in a graphic style and are of everyday items with added text. The text is often that which bombards us in modern day life, for example, ‘Click to add title’ or ‘Paper jam’. She gets ideas from life in general and the use of the text in her work makes it quirky and fun. She uses the text to poke fun, ‘Caution – may be hot.
This quote suggests how the author can make readers feel nervous, and make them curious of what will happen, so time creates suspense in the story. Time is not the only device that Poe uses in his short story, “The Tell-Tale Heart”. Another element used to create suspense is first person point of view. Poe expresses the narrator’s emotions like a real person’s feeling. Poe demonstrates each feeling of the narrator’s experiences.
The authors of these writings are able to capture readers by utilizing characterization, rhythm, rhyming, metaphors, or a fairytale setting throughout their storyline. It is imagination that sanctions the reader of these literary forms to be able to mentally visualize what the author would like the reader to visually perceive by use of symbolism or descriptive wording. In the poem “The Road Not Taken” (Frost, 1916) or the short story “Used to Live Here Once” (Rhys, 1976) – there is a dominant theme, no matter what self-contained journey we find ourselves on, we the readers are the ones who determine how the journey ends. In both of these works of literature the theme is a forthcoming journey. In the poem “The Road Not Taken” Robert Frost paints us a descriptive picture of a fork in the road in which the reader encounters along his journey.
