When he “trie[d] to yell” it frightened the humans (Gardner 27).Although he can communicate with the reader, he cannot with humans. This causes the reader to take pity on Grendel because they pity his inability to communicate which can only be realized if the story is told in first person. However, since the story is told by Grendel himself, the reader realizes that he lacks the art that the humans are able to accept. A central topic around which the book centers is art. It is presented from both a negative and positive perspective.
One of the main points about Caliban that influences the audience is about Caliban’s appearance, he has often been described as less than human and more of a monster, as a character a lot of his appearance influences how you may think about him, some examples of quotes from the text are “a thing most brutish” or “Not honoured with a human shape:- Here Prospero’s point of view is expressed and the audience is made aware that in Prospero’s eyes Caliban is not that important and a completely different person that doesn’t need to be respected, he treats him badly and insults him so you may think that Prospero needs to treat Caliban better, and not just go on his looks or on the other hand you may think that prospero’s point of view is right and that if he looks hideous he must have a hideous personality aswell. The second point which I would like to make is about Caliban’s status shown in “the tempest” which may also affect the way about how you think about Caliban. In the tempest he is shown as a slave which is of a low status so you may not really respect him as much than you would if he were rich and of a higher status. For example in the story he is pointed out as a slave quite a few times, the quote from the text is “a poisonous salve” or “a lying salve”. Here the audience is getting shown that Caliban doesn’t really need to be respected or that you shouldn’t even trust him because he is a slave of a low status.
Michael Blasl Introduction to Analytical Writing 10:25-11:20 October 8th 2009 Love on the Rocks: An Ironic Rite of Passage In both John Updike’s “A&P” and Alice Munro’s “How I Met My Husband” the authors use the literary devices of irony and theme in their stories.

In Salinger's novel, The Catcher in the Rye, Holden Caufield makes it very clear that he does not like fake or phony people. Throughout the story Holden at times makes the reader feel like he or she should feel bad for him because of the hardships he's been through and how he has to deal with the "phonies" when he is actually one himself.

We laugh because we feel that George is inferior to us in his situations. His complaining of the clown’s name being an unacceptable clown name is unimportant and trivial. He nags about it and is unable to let go of something that is so unimportant. This allows us to feel that he is ridiculous and that we are therefore think on a superior level to him. Does the audience care about the clown’s name?
Druggies are stereotype by their actions because they don’t obey authority, get in trouble, and don’t focus in school. The movie Pineapple Express shows this stereotype because their stupid and don’t obey the law. Druggies are stereotyped by their appearance because they smell, and don’t care how they look. In the movie Pineapple Express shows this because the main characters smell and dress how they want and don’t care. Another stereotype of druggies is their dialogue because they don’t speak proper English, laugh at everything and cuss all the time.
Storytelling is important to human existence because it is a means of capturing memories of the past and incorporating them into ethical and everyday life. Memory and ethics coincide with each other as one can be an explanation or an observation of the other; without one, the other would most likely not make sense. Goodbye Lemon written by Adam Davies is a wonderful example that exudes the power of storytelling. The narrator, Jack, writes of the many different personal qualities and traits his deceased brother Dexter might have possessed, since Jack was too young to have any memory of his brother. Through the prologue of Goodbye Lemon , Davies wants to convey to his audience that you can bring any character to life through writing.
In his essay “Of Cannibals” Montaigne tells his own tale towards the middle of the essay. The story, being second hand from “ignorant fellow, and therefore the more likely to tell the truth”, connects with the audience in two ways. First, it demonstrates Montaigne's view that most men are not concerned with their own true observations, but exaggerate the truth in small ways to make a story more interesting, and thus themselves more interesting. Being that the story comes someone not of this degree, the story becomes more valid. Second, Montaigne argues that ignorant people have more to offer to the society and are more honorable and therefore respectable as they are more likely to tell the truth and relate their own observations and experiences as they actually are, with no reason to exaggerate
Instead, he uses hints to suggest the coming events and how the mood will be. By describing Charlie’s waiting and fears the narrator builds suspense, which makes us want to go on and find out more about the event that is being foreshadowed. The emotional quality of his fear is achieved through the following means: -ontonomasia “affection” and “dislike”, comparison “as indefinite as his movements” which points at the fact that Charlie don’t know whether to do his work or not. And he decided to do it. The author uses periphrases concerning to cigarettes “The packet were piled twelve deep below”.
