Flypaper The short story Flypaper is written by Simon Armitage, is at first hand a tragic story about the law-breaking and provocative artist who gets caught up by the authorities. By analyzing you do see a connection between Flypaper and the tale of Jesus Christ and his sacrifice for mankind on the cross. The story takes place in a small town in Northern England, where one of our main characters resides as a council leader – Perry. It’s hard to tell at what time the story takes place – the narrator tells: “It was an age like today.” which means that the story could take place at any time: the past, the present and even the future. You can divide the text into two parts: in the first part we hear a lot about how the artist becomes famous
The author has described it in a narrative but realistic manner rather than presenting his personal point of view. Both in language and culture, the fundamental moral message that literature hopes to disclose is that through reading and learning from life and our surroundings, we can all magnify our moral attitudes and practices. Regarding this point, the main intention here is to be aware of this rich legacy that writers like David Mitchell have accomplished, in order to ignite a moral spark, and a new way of thinking upon new generations like mine. Looking at different perspectives, this whole essay demonstrates that morality is treated in a conceivable way; the limits of our own imagination are forsaken to create unique artistic pieces, transmitting an overall
Vladimir Nabokov raised a few interesting questions in his essay regarding readers and writers. Questions like how should a reader relate to a story? Should a book be read emotionally or scientifically? He believes that a good reader reads not from the mind, nor from the heart, but from the spine. I personally agree with Nabokov’s theory about good readers.
Direct quotations should be reserved for characters in stories. B. The conversation you write must sound natural for the characters. C. Give your writing a personal touch by showing that you're interested in your subject. D. An anecdote or humorous quotation is often more convincing than a strong argument.
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. By constructing the story in this fashion, Shelley is ultimately able to give purpose to this unusual method of writing and create an original and intriguing plotline. Shelley’s interesting method of framing the story, while at first seems awkward and unnecessary, eventually develops into a recognizable and admirable framing of the story, putting events in a more presentable order and allowing for much greater suspense and foreshadowing. By starting the novel from the perspective of Walton, Shelley allows Victor’s story to be told in the form of that, a story, where such a style would usually seem an odd way to start a book. It also presents the opportunity to foreshadow future events and build suspense, both of which are important aspects of popular literature in the time that the novel was written.
The Virgin Suicides and the Writing Self Usually our voice for telling a story is our own writing self. A person that understands the situation at hand and speaks in a manner relevant to the situation. We don't normally create a separate narrator to make our writing more interesting. We simply write our thoughts and opinions to convey our ideas. But Jeffery Eugenides writing the Virgin Suicides brought out a separate part of himself to narrate for him.
This novel uses the emotions of the narrator, the actions and events in the story and the way that they connect with and clearly stem from society at the time that the novel was written, to make the novel easy to relate to for a reader and allows them to take on board the lessons and themes of The Handmaid's Tale in a more personal and meaningful way. A fictional novel can be made to feel real to a reader by use of details. If a book uses a lot of small details and intricacies it creates a world around the novel that can feel convincing and suck the reader in. Often books that invent a world tend to play off the world that already exists around them and then alter things so that the reader has a way 'in' to the plot and a level to connect with it on and then can open their mind to what the author chooses to add. Some famous series that do this include Harry Potter by J.K.Rowling, Lord of the Rings by J.R.R.Tolkein and Naughts and Crosses by Malorie Blackman.
Wuthering Heights and Madame Bovary both gain much of their power as novels from the ways in which they use setting to frame the action, create atmosphere and convey meanings. Illustrate and compare the uses of setting in the two novels. (Note: you will need to use some carefully selected quotations from both texts to exemplify your points. Such passages are not included in the word-count.) 3.
“Life of Pi” by Yann Martel - essay How does the author use his unusual narrative style in Part One of the novel to set the scene for the rest of the story? The book begins with the author stating that "this book was born as I was hungry”. He explains, that it was not , in fact, literally hungry, but in eager to write something of importance to someone, himself included. This makes the upcoming stories more realistic and believable for the reader, as if the writer Yann , himself left a note , stating that he is writing the story, as well as being a main character in it. He continues to be a big part of the plot later in the book.
This is important since this idea influenced and helped the writers of the future creating writings with modernistic characteristics mentioned by the two well-known modernists, Virginia Woolf and T.S. Eliot. Woolf shares her thoughts on modernism through her essay by explaining how a fiction should be written with modernistic ways like a spiritualist in her essay, “Modern Fiction.” While Woolf focused on that, T.S. Eliot wrote his works using not only modernistic views but also with his creative literary styles and languages in his essay, “Tradition and Individual Talents,” and his famous collection of poems, The Waste Land. Both of these writers might seem like they had different ideas, but they both elaborated on new methods that makes one’s work modernistic, making the future bright for their descendants and followers.
