Clare's interrogative attitude continues through her and Henry's encounter as she questions his story. Her innocence is highlighted entirely when she uses the simple sentence “Do you know Santa?” The topic of Santa massively highlights Clare's age and her innocence because adults, teenagers and even older children realise that Santa isn’t real. Also as it is written in a simple sentence said as a short question, it shows how a child’s mind can not often think about more than one thing for too long.
“Suspense Paragraph” October 3, 2012 Cold Equations Suspense Paragraph Tom Goodwin uses different methods of writing to create suspense in the story “Cold Equation” to spark the interest of the reader’s attention. When characters experience moments of doubt or confusion; or the author slows down the moment when the main character is in doubt these are methods that creates suspense. To illustrate how he uses the first method listed to create the feeling of anxious curiosity, Barton says to Marilyn, “What are you doing here?” he asked. “Why did you stow away on this EDS?” The reader becomes involved because it makes the reader wonder or want to predict what Barton is going to do to Marilyn, but also wonder why she is on the aircraft. At the beginning of the story the reader knows that the aircraft is only capable of holding a certain amount of fuel to carry the exact amount of passengers on the EDS to their destination.
She tells the girl to take the barrette out of her hair, and catches a boy listening to a transistor radio as Sister James is teaching the class about FDR’s first inaugural address. “ The Only Thing We Have to Fear Is Fear Itself” was written on the chalk board. I found that very ironic considering the fact that Father Flynn’s introduction to his sermon was also about FDR. Sister Aloysius facial expressions throughout the movie seem to be very confident. When she plans to have a meeting with Sister James and Father Flynn about Donald and his relationship with Father Flynn she had an expression on her face that explained she knew everything or thought she did.
Firstly, Tolkien creates a realistic fantasy world that allows the readers to escape from their everyday lives. Tolkien also uses the protagonist, Bilbo, to exemplify the physiological development of people from childhood to adulthood. Through these strategies Tolkien makes it evident that The Hobbit was not written purely for the pleasure of children, but rather a more complex metaphor within the “simple” text. The overlying text of the Hobbit gives many readers the idea that it is a simplistic novel because of the way Tolkien incorporates obvious lessons on manners and edict that are geared toward children. Tolkien spreads these lessons through the actions of the heroic, good characters of the novel because he believes that a child would more likely emulate the actions of characters they look up to.
Abby Till December 6,2010 Period 2 A Character to go Down in History The people one knows are what make a person who they are. Only through their interactions with other characters and relationships with people, can one see who that person really is. In Great Expectations by Charles Dickens , Miss Havisham’s role adds brilliance to the storyline, reveals the good and bad sides of Pip, and brings a demented personality to the book.

This extract is taken from C.S Lewis’s novel “Perelandra” highlights ones internal struggle between their sanity and possible madness. Through the usage of narration and language (1st person) as well as his comforting and easing diction, Lewis creates a vast bond between his readers and the character, furthering the vast understanding of the characters situation during, what can be seen, his rampage. Lewis’s explicit imagery furthers the reader’s perception of the character and his fears of what, we never actually find out to be. As seen in the first paragraph of his work, Lewis begins “At last I came to the crossroads by the little Wesleyan chapel where I had to turn to the left under the beech trees” directly providing a setting for the extract, through the use of imagery and precise directions of this setting, Lewis allows us to associate and be drawn into this highlighted scene literally from the first line. Lewis then goes on to explain the protagonist’s friend (A guess however not 100% proved due to the limited detailed text provided), Ransom, furthering the development of the setting.
Fowles is constantly trying to highlight the differences between art and reality in order to give his characters independence. Up to Chapter 13’s digression, Fowles’s readers have been allowed to consider that they have been reading a conventional Victorian novel to a certain extent. However, Fowles’s repetition of ‘perhaps’ encourages his readers to view the text in a more fictional way. When Fowles teases the audience by saying; ‘perhaps I live now in one of the houses I have brought into the fiction’ – he humorously says that his fictional characters are ‘perhaps’ an ‘illusion’ therefore stating that the whole novel is an illusion. From the outset we already know that their author controls Rosencrantz and Guildenstern as Shakespeare already writes out their destiny for them.
The purpose of chapter one, Fitzgerald introduces the reader the key theme of the novel, which will become prevalent throughout: the division between gender and social class. Furthermore, Fitzgerald introduces us to the major characters through Nick’s narration and perception. The first character we are introduced to is Nick Carraway, the narrator. The reader immediately knows that they are reading from his observation and perspective and so the novel is written through Nick’s memory. Fitzgerald aims to build a sense of trust and so portrays characters as well educated and enlightened, as such that Nick is ‘inclined to reserve all judgments’ and being ‘privy to the secret grief of wild, unknown men’.
Starting from the Prologue, the title “A Street in the Capital of Szechwan” provides the setting of the play. Keeping in mind Freytag’s pyramid of plot structure the prologue serves as an ‘Exposition” of the play in which we have been introduced to major themes and the Protagonist. The Wang serves as a narrator and sometimes s Author’s voice can be felt in between the speeches made by characters E.g. When the gods talk about their secret mission, this mission is direct reference to author’s mission of finding an answer of his question. The tone of the author is ‘mocking and he seems to criticize religion and god in these lines: “They are well nourished” (pg # 185, primary source) `The Prologue also provides us the ‘main action’ i.e.
