CUSTOMS AND BONDS A piece of writing, as in every form of art, is a manifestation of its creator. Authors include fragments of themselves, their history, and their experiences for either personal motive or simply to establish a moral connection with the reader. In The Custom House, Nathaniel Hawthorne's introduction to his novel The Scarlet Letter, an unnamed narrator establishes a connection with the reader through personal anecdote, history, and emotion. This anonymous customs officer is not Hawthorne himself, rather an idealized figment of the author's imagination, a vehicle to deliver personal motives and apprehensions. It can then be said that the purpose of this piece is to act as a bond to Hawthorne's past, present, and views toward his strong familial ties to an area so rich with religious fervor, giving a glimpse into the realities caused by his own family and past.

In the book “Curious” Mark Haddon has used an interesting narrative structure to convey the effects of Christopher Boone as the distinctive narrator.

Christopher stating all these behavioural problems shows us his thought pattern.

In accordance to the story, I chose to write about Emilia and her diary entries, as she was a character that did not voice her thoughts out often.
‘Every age manipulates an established genre in its own ways and for its own purposes’ Write an essay in which you evaluate the extent to which this is true in TWO prescribed texts AND at least TWO texts of your choosing. The famous literary theorist Jonathan Culler once defined genre as a “style or category” of painting, novel or film that is governed by a particular set of “conventions and expectations”. In literature, crime fiction is a genre in which the cause of a mysterious happening, often a crime, is gradually revealed by a hero or heroine. This is usually accomplished through a combination of intelligence or ingenuity, or at times just sheer luck. Through the employment of various characteristics such as a ‘lone sleuth’, a ‘detailed and plausible setting’, and ‘crimes to be solved’, it has allowed the genre to explore universal themes of corruption, justice, the search for ‘truth, and the antithetical concepts of order and disorder.
