English Essay Aldo Curtis 10o ‘How Priestley makes act 3 dramatic’ Priestly uses many different methods to make act three dramatic. By saving the twist in the plot till this point, he made sure that it had the maximum effect. He also brought in some very meaningful and well thought out revolutions to the characters. Act three is also a very dramatic act because it is the conclusion, the winding up of all the plot lines, and as such it will contain the most emotion as the play comes to an end. At the beginning of act three the audience find out that Eric is the one responsible for the girls pregnancy and that he is the main culprit, ‘You know, don’t you?’ this is a example of the use of generalised questions which bring the audience even more into the play for it is like keeping a secret from all people who have not witnessed the first two acts.
By looking more in depth at this opening to the novella we should see how Steinbeck succeeds in engaging the reader. In the first line of the novella, the author writes that the place is set ‘A few miles south of Soledad’. This is an interesting and clever choice of location since ‘Soledad’ is Spanish for the word loneliness and this is one of the major themes running throughout the whole novella. However if the reader does not understand this translation in the first line of the book, a key point may be missed. It was written during the ‘Great American
The plot is set up in a way that causes it to be quite interesting to even those who are most loathing of history. Giardina does a remarkable job of telling a compelling and gripping story, creating authentic and believable characters, and evoking moods that enhance the setting of the novel. The story is not told from solely one point of view as most novels are. In Giardina’s cogent novel there are four different narrators that each contribute their own perspective of the events surrounding the coal war and the Battle of Blair Mountain. The four narrators are; CJ Marcum, Rondal Lloyd, Carrie Bishop, and Rosa Angelelli.
Andrew Hayes October 29, 2008 A Lesson Before Dying 4th With a story as emotionally consumed as A Lesson Before Dying, there is bound to be many different themes and concepts that make novel flow. Although it is difficult to choose just one, the most outstanding theme is redemption in death. Throughout the story all anyone wants Jefferson to do is to somehow redeem not only himself but his family and the entire black community through his execution. This is evident because of the towns’ interest and support in Jefferson’s struggle, the references to Jesus and his crucifixion, and how Jefferson’s development affects those closely connected to him. The eventual outcome of the story is predictable from the beginning, so it is the underlying symbolism that makes A
Sarah Draper Mrs. Jennings AP English 12 5th period B Shiloh In Bobbie Mason’s short story, “Shiloh” he uses many techniques in order to convey his overall message. Mason uses of similes and metaphors, symbolism and parallelism to help reveal the once happily marrage flaws and now being unhappy.

For instance, Mr Collins long, pompous speeches help the reader to realise his character within the novel and how he is a person who is full of pride in himself (which is one of the themes of the novel). Chapter 19 also contains authorial intervention. The authorial intervention in this chapter helps to not only tell the story but commentates the dialogue of the characters “she could not use the short pause he allowed in any attempt to stop him farther, and he continued.” The authorial intervention seems to show Austen’s annoyance towards Mr Collins who seems to constantly talk and helps make the reader sympathise with Elizabeth for being on the other end of his constant speeches. In all, through Austen’s use of the third
I ran it fairly” (P.77) and later got raped. Despite the consequences that Hassan was going to go through he believed that risking his life to satisfy Amir was worth giving up for than disappointing him.

Through the prologue of Goodbye Lemon , Davies wants to convey to his audience that you can bring any character to life through writing. Jack had brought Dexter back to life (as Jack states in the last line of the prologue) although he did not have any memory of him, other than the fateful day Dexter died. Storytelling is vital here because people often twist their memories as they write, because they want to get a point across to their readers. Jack tries to bring back memories of who Dexter could have been by writing different scenarios, thus bending his memories in order to find out something about his brother who he does not remember. That which is demanded by ethics greatly
She uses onomatopoeia many times during the text to describe the “Rat-tat-tat-tat” sound that the gunfire made to make the reader better imagine what it was like to be there at that time. It also helps shift the audience toward her side of the coin so to speak, in that it creates a harsh reality of fear for the reader which is unexpected from such a small sound. Chang also uses climax in her writing during the chapters so that at the middle of every chapter the reader feels that they reached the worst of the violence and tragedy and it also hooks them into wanting to read more to find out what the next big thing is that will happen in the next chapter. Chang uses hypophora in the beginning of the text to inform the reader of what kind of things they will be educated on regarding the Rape of Nanking. This is shown to its full extent on page nineteen when she lists many of the questions first time readers might have about the

Kristof states in the introduction… “Many of the stories in this book are wrenching, but keep in mind this central truth: Women aren’t the problem but the solution, the plight of girls is no more a tragedy than an opportunity” (Kristof xvii). Furthermore these stories presented in the book are difficult to read but they are placed in the book in order to evoke deep emotions. These emotions will motivate individuals to step up and help women become a solution and an opportunity to better the
