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. He says of Osmond, “He’s the incarnation of taste, Ralph went on, thinking hard how he could best express Gilbert Osmond’s sinister attributes without putting himself in the wrong by seeming to describe him coarsely”…”He judges and measures, approves and condemns”. Ralph is being vague here but what this moment implies is that Osmond’s exquisite taste is his driving force. This moment also speaks to other aspects of Osmond’s person. Ralph uses the word “sinister”.
Each author is notorious for basing the characters in their novels off of themselves. Kafka, having written his late piece The Trial, wrote the book in order to depict his thoughts that he pondered only in his head. In search of an answer that was no-where to be found, one can find a trace in his workings of his fiction novels. There are similarities even within the style of Kafka’s writing and personal life that parallel the protagonist of his story, K. In contrast, Aira’s novel Varamo has a fluidity and movement that is not only reflected in the style of his writing, but also his character’s advancement throughout the story. Above all, the overarching theme of progress is demonstrated in both novels.
This is done by cutting from a medium close up to a medium shot which then zooms out to a long shot. This creates effect on me as I can know where the characters are and the slow cutting between shots creates tension and suspense to show that something is about to happen. Spatial editing is also used during the fast paced action scene as the camera moves all around the room in one shot. This had been done to show what is going on in the room as a whole and it is very effective as it shows a wider, more detailed view of the whole sequence so I understand what is happening. Because the camera is constantly moving it keeps the rhythm up so this shot does not lose the pace.
But, Ned Land was not happy at all, so he proposed to escape. As Conseil argued that is impossible to escape because they are underwater, Land told them that the submarine has to go up every two days to recycle the air. The submarine continued his way through the sea. At the coast of Papua, the Nautilus went to the surface and it was attacked by cannibals.

With reference to Helen Langdon’s Caravaggio and one other biographical monograph of your choice, critically discuss and evaluate the method each author adopts for interpreting artworks. In her Introduction to Caravaggio: A Life Langdon lays out her reasons for writing about the artist. He became, ‘the most powerful religious artist of his age’, but he was also, ‘feared as a difficult and strange personality’. [1] She tells us that Caravaggio was a very influential artist, highly original in his time for his attention to naturalism, and his approach to composition. At the same time the story of his life is fascinating in its own right.
Keegan Brink Mrs. C CWII Frankenstein Essay 2/15/12 In many stories, readers are left wondering about the feelings of secondary characters, due to a natural curiosity. In Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, there are many points of view and many layers of storytelling. The structure has been frequently referred to as being like an onion, with so many layers. At one point there are even five layers of storytelling: In a letter, a man tells of a man, telling a story, in which a creature is telling a story, in which a family's story is told. This plot structure uniquely allows Shelley to frame the story, add depth to it, and allow readers to see and appreciate the strong similarities between the three narrators.
It’s not recognized by everyone as a serious art form but personally I have always found great inspiration, drama and beauty in the world of fashion” -Bold and uniquely graphic style -work focuses on the portrait, in abstraction and elegance. Stark contrast, fractured space, and meticulous mark-making are a few elements present in her work. This Barcelona based illustrator's drawings are collages of deconstructed portraits and pencil-drawn and Pantone black monochromatic patterns collaged together creating works for fashion, editorial and high-end magazines as well. -I like how Anna Higgie ensures the pencil sketched image is explicitly to the forefront of her illustrations as you can almost feel the texture of the lead against the paper. Her images though softly outlined are graphic and veer towards mixed media art in places.
Although the authors use these narrative devices in completely different ways they are both effective. The authors reconnoitre characters and by giving their novels big kernels explore their possible reactions to these major changes. In The Accidental a character called Amber comes into the Smart family’s life and in turn impacts on each characters life and individually and forces them asses their previous actions. The structure that Smith uses causes each character to encounter an epiphany because we look at the characters in such close detail. In contrast Intimacy by Hanif Kureshi looks at in detail the stream of consciousness of the character Jay.
English 1 Essay- Irony Effect of Irony "Expect the unexpected," is something that is repeatedly told to many of us. When reading a story we should still follow that rule because in many genres of writing, the author will use irony to keep the reader's attention and cause a surprising twist. Basically, for those who do not know, irony is the contradiction between appearance and reality. In the story, "The Gift of the Magi," the author, O. Henry, uses irony to describe a couple's love for each other. Also, in the story, "The Interlopers," the author, Saki, creates a shocking conclusion using irony.
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.
