Watson; two are narrated by Holmes himself and two others are written in the third person . In two stories, Holmes tells Watson the main story from his memories, while Watson becomes the narrator of the frame story.

His idea of heroism is that during that situation he didn’t choose to want to save those people but during a time of desperation and interest in his own personal survival he also saved the lives of the passengers. It is human instinct that we would put our own safety and survival as priority but there is a thin line between self survival and consideration of other’s well being. Although Sullenberger initially rejected the idea of him being a hero, later on he was able to openly accept it.

As I tried to figure out what have I read I found several interpretation of this work but they did not fit to my conceptions or to say my ideas. Many scholars wrote several critical essays and resource papers on this story and of course they focused on several different things but rewriting history. According to Christopher James – who won the national poetry competition in 2009 – this novel is: “Essentially it’s Robinson Crusoe meets Bear Grylls meets Life of Pi set in the 1940s and in the bleakest possible surroundings.”(James). That is one side of this multi shaped coin. After this I searched further interpretation of the text and I found Howard Babb’s words who said that many critics found this novel Golding’s most challenging book (Babb 65).
19th Century Literature Discuss the ways in which the Gothic genre shaped 19th Century literature. The influence of the Gothic genre is undeniable in the shaping of many 19 Century novels and short stories. In order to illustrate this I will examine the influence of the Gothic as a genre on three texts that span this period. Firstly, Jane Austin’s Northanger Abbey first published in 1803, secondly Emily Bronte`’s Wuthering Heights written a little later in 1847 and finally a short story called The sign of The Four, written in 1890 by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. In each of these texts the Gothic influence is used to shape the literature in differing ways, creating different effects.
It has been argued by Goethe that the reason Hamlet failed to avenge his father’s death was because he did not have the inner or physical strength. He argues Hamlet does not have the attributes of a hero. But this can be argued because all throughout the play Hamlet demonstrates that he has the strength, emotionally and physically. Therefore it is obvious that the only reason hamlet did so was because he was a man of great philosophy, so typically he thought too much, and in doing this it became the tragic flaw in his character. Which everyone knows will lead to his downfall.
