Second, explain what the context or situation is—that is, who is involved, where s/he is, at what time, and what is going on, etc., Third, explain what the quotation means and how it is significant to the novel. (In other words, why is this quote important?) Keep in mind that quotations rarely tell you why they are important, so you must use the clues given to you and really dig beneath the surface, kind of like “Author and Me” questions. Fourth, note any stylistic devices (similes, metaphors, personification, symbols, alliteration, etc. ), and finally, what connections do you see between this excerpt and other vignettes in the novel?
The Tell-Tale Heart Assignment: We notice that some details in Poe’s “The Tell-Tale Heart” make a literal reading of the story rather difficult. Advance and defend a figurative reading of the story consistent with the story’s details. Poe seems to focus on creating mood throughout his story. Many symbols in this story are interpreted in several different ways depending on the reader. These symbols throughout the story include the old mans eye, the heartbeat and the contradiction between love and hate in which I will be talking about in this paper.
In Enduring Love, McEwan utilises a number of different Narrative devices to further push the storyline’s pace, as well as involving the reader more deeply in the plot. The first notable one of these is his use of the time stream. The author (and thus the narrator) is seen to manipulate this with impunity – pausing, fast-forwarding and rewinding it at will. This is used at once in the beginning chapter to not only present us with a ‘panoramic’ view of the events about to unfold and the circumstances surrounding them, but also to heighten the suspense of the circumstances – how will the tragedy that has been eluded to occur? The narrator himself admits fully to using this device – he states that he’s ‘holding back, delaying the information’.
Such an apprehension of what a name is (or is perceived to be) becomes key to our understanding of Jane’s and the novel’s sense of self and identity. keywords Jane Eyre, identity, names, onomastics A reader of Jane Eyre probably knows that Charlotte Brontë initially published the novel under a pseudonym, and, if not, will learn of this in an introduction to the novel or through the presentation of a title-page facsimile.1 The reader will think little more of it, eager no doubt to press on with the selfcontained story. But it may be worth pausing a while to consider what is going on in the seemingly innocuous information, ‘JANE EYRE. An Autobiography. Edited by CURRER BELL’, for this presentation is highly significant for a contextual appreciation of Charlotte Brontë’s first published novel.
Kristapher Guillen Mrs. Trammell Ap Language & Composition January 30 2013 The Juxtaposition of the King's men Within the famed novel, All the King's Men, Robert Penn Warren uses juxtaposition in order to convey one of the novel's most prominent themes. Throughout All The King’s Men, there is a constant struggle between innocence and awareness. For a reader to fully understand the novel one must acknowledge this struggle, for it is integral to the transformations of several major characters and the development of the novel itself. In the book, there are many cases where ignorance does prove to be bliss. However, there are also quite a few instances where awareness helps to empower a character.
CP5: Sources of Information Task 1 2.1: Explain the different stages involved in planning a piece of writing or project. “There are many different ways of planning a piece of writing, project or an assignment. But it will require time, effort and thought. By planning you are able to cover what you want to write and how you would like it to look. If you decide not to plan you could find that you use non-relevant material or that the piece of work becomes confusing”.
Shades Of Grey “The imaginary world of the novel helps the reader to understand the authors intentions” The imaginary world of a novel helps a reader to understand the authors intention is a point that is very well shown in the novel “Shades of Grey” written by Jasper Fforde. This novel is a complete and utterly different world than our own. In the world portrayed in the novel lives are determined by a persons colour perception. There is a social hierarchy and the higher up you are in the hierarchy then the better your life is and the more perks you receive. By reading this novel, the author’s intention is to challenge us, the reader, to evaluate our current world and make comparisons to theirs.

Time could not support the demands that Gatsby was making. Gatsby catching the clock and his apology symbolizes the sensitivity of his plan and how necessarily his methods were. Fitzgerald uses symbols in The Great Gatsby to show different ideas and events throughout the book. Each symbol used throughout the novel has its own meaning to a specific idea or situation between characters. Symbols are very important in literature and they help add meaning to certain text or objects within the piece of writing.
