Marele Day, in her novel “The Life and Crimes of Harry Lavender” (LACOHL), uses the literary form of detective fiction to challenge our perceptions of the roles of men and women in society and presents us with characters who use distinctive voices in different situations revealing much about themselves and their relationships with others.

Both Brighton Rock and Clockwork Orange focus mainly around to criminal character’s and both go into in depth breakdowns of the minds of their criminal main characters and use this to encourage readers to become interested and engulfed in the books. Greene and Burgess both use depictions of the criminal minds to interest the readers. One way Greene does this is through narrative methods such as illustrating Pinkie’s thought process during the attempted murder of Spicer and his own eventual attack by Colleoni this gives the reader an detailed look at the thoughts of Pinkie and the criminal mind and this gives the character depth which involves the reader and creates interest in the characters. This is similar to the way Alex breaks down his arrest. Furthermore Greene contrasts the criminal minds between Pinkie and Colleoni’s minds with a clear gap in maturity between the two demonstrated through things such as Colleoni’s superiority regarding money ‘You see the gold on them furnitures?
Analyse the motif of communication in the novel The Turn of The Screw. The motif of communication has been manipulated extensively within the novel, ‘The Turn of The Screw’ as means to highlight the boundaries of intimacy between characters and to present the complex dilemma endured by the protagonist within this novel – The Governess. A framed narrative which has been wisely implemented by Henry James throughout the novel acts as the foundation in depicting the motif of communication, in this case between us as readers and the protagonist herself. Utilizing such form of narrative has ensured that we are distanced from the events that unravel within the novel hence creating for dramatic effect. Amplifying this concept further the boundaries of communication created through this technique allow for criticism of the trustworthiness and reliability of the accounts presented by the Governess’.
Marele Day deliberately places Claudia within the detective genre to subvert the masculine dominated stereotyped role of the male protagonist to an empowered female detective, reflected in her personality shown when she says “I was changing cars more often then I change underwear”. Furthermore, this is reflected through Claudia’s cynicism, shown through the juxtaposition in “Jack Daniels: Empty. And an ashtray: Full” as Jack Daniels is a very strong whiskey which mostly man drinks. Additionally through the use of slang ‘ There was a good looking blonde’ demonstrates the characters ambiguous nature as Day plays with the gender stereotype in the opening scene, making the reader assume the protagonist is a male. Thus molding and defining the distinctive voice of Claudia in the detective genre.
How does Marele Day use distinctive voices to convey her ideas in the novel ‘The Life and Crimes of Harry Lavender’?

The audience is challenged throughout the text, as the reader’s assertiveness and insight into Sallies character is provoked through literary techniques, such as simile, symbolism etc. The biography is also a mix of detective novel, so the reader discovers what happened to Sallie and what she stood up against. Her pain and suffering from abandonment is explored and described by Sallie Anne as well as her sister in the following insightful narration. “when pat (sallies mother) abandoned Sallie for the second time, that really fucked her up… when your mother makes a habit of walking out on you, it doesn’t do much for your self esteem” and Sally stated “if only I’d had my mother, things would Have been different”.

Stories and poems are created from the authors’ imagination which enables us to use our own imagination and fall into the storyline as we read it, connecting with the literature. Being able to visualize what the author is revealing in their writings, gives a deeper look into the symbolization and language allowing us to further relate to the story or poem. In both Eudora Welty’s “A Worn Path” and Jean Rhys’ “I Use to Live Here Once”, the use of several forms of symbolism are evident, but I believe Welty’s creative writing includes a lot more symbolism and more descriptive details of her journey. In Welty’s “A Worn Path” the short story centers on the descriptive setting and the strong main character (Phoenix) on her journey through very rough territory to collect her sick grandson’s medicine. “She was very old and small and she walked slowly in the dark pine shadows on that early December chilly morning.
