Author O’Brian also confuses the reader by writing his novel as if everything that was told took place in the real world. For example, just by saying “this is true” (64) doesn’t always make it true. O’Brian leaves it up to the reader to distinct what they see the story as: reality or fiction. It is said that “a true war story… makes the stomach believe” (74). Author and character O’Brian tell the story in such a way to make it believable that the two different people are really the same person.
Secondary Characters When one has finished reading a book and is asked about it, one usually only remembers the main characters and their actions in the story. Unless one analyzes a piece of literature in depth, one cannot begin to imagine how secondary characters not only change the plot, but through interactions with the central characters they allow the reader to see different sides of the main character throughout the story without the reader knowing. Secondary characters are important in literature because they impact character development, influence the action, and develop theme as shown through Friar Lawrence in Romeo and Juliet and Uncle Teru in Sound of Waves Through Friar Lawrence’s encounters with the main characters Romeo and Juliet, he has brought out Romeo’s fickle minded character and Juliet’s absolute desire to be with Romeo. After Romeo and Juliet meet at the party and talk of marriage on Juliet’s balcony, Romeo goes to Friar Lawrence’s cell to ask him to marry Juliet and himself. The Friar responds with, “Young men’s love then lies/ Not truly in their hearts but, in their eyes jesu maria, what the deal of brine/ Hath washes thy sallow cheeks for Rosaline!”(2.3.68-90).
Not all Novels should be Clear In many causes while reading certain novels and stories you might wonder why some stories have so much changing to them Or why so much back and forward amongst each of the stories? Many of these things may happen not because the author is trying to confuse the reader instead because the author is trying to give the reader a better understanding of many stories through different perspectives. Throughout this essay you will learn about how a great author Junot Diaz portrays this sort of writing style. Through Diaz’s writing in Drown we were able to see how the lack of chorological order made things shift around a bit for the reader, for instance the book began with the story Ysrael. A story that gave us the reader
Influences on Montag’s Character It is hard to find the courage to stand up for what you believe in, even for a person with a tremendous amount of bravery. In the novel Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, Guy Montag was able to stand up and rebel against society with the help of quite a few characters. Throughout the novel, Ray Bradbury introduces characters to change Montag. Clarisse, the unidentified old woman, and Faber’s effects on Montag led him to his decision of preserving books rather than destroying them. Clarisse acted as a trigger in Montag’s character change by asking him thought-provoking questions and telling him about things he never noticed.
Censoring a novel because of its use of certain words without examining the context is absurd. Dr. Sarah Churchwell explains, “The fault lies in the teaching, not the book, you can’t say I’ll change Twain because it isn’t compatible with my teaching methods.” When a work contains content that could be considered hurtful it is important to teach the context behind the content, not avoid the work of literature
Time could not support the demands that Gatsby was making. Gatsby catching the clock and his apology symbolizes the sensitivity of his plan and how necessarily his methods were. Fitzgerald uses symbols in The Great Gatsby to show different ideas and events throughout the book. Each symbol used throughout the novel has its own meaning to a specific idea or situation between characters. Symbols are very important in literature and they help add meaning to certain text or objects within the piece of writing.
If you start jumping around in the text the reader won’t be able to follow along. Also when writing don’t write more then you need to. The reader may get bored, tried, or lost, and won’t be motivated to read the text. In conclusion when writing there are many different hints, templates, and styles. Using different styles will increase the performance of writing.
By calling into question the truth of his stories, he disorients readers who are expecting to read a standard fiction, where the events are undoubtably false. He also shows readers why reinventing a story may be more important than telling the story just as it is remembered. Norman Bowker disapproves of O’Brien’s first attempt to describe a horrific battle, and, therefore, O’Brien feels the need to rewrite the story. Essentially, O’Brien must remember the event in a new way that makes the story more real for Bowker and other readers. Finally, O’Brien explains to readers why stories must be told, even with the risk telling the story the “wrong” way.
It is written in a first person point of view. Writing with this approach was more effective in this story because it gave a more personal account in the message it is trying to give the reader. It allowed the reader to experience the problem on a personal level through another person’s eyes as opposed to listing facts like the first story did the whole time. Writing it in a first person point of view made it easier for the audience to identify with the author and side with what he is trying to persuade us to believe. We tend to take the story to heart more when it is written in this point of view.
I feel that Bryce would become better attuned to them if he could be more aware of what exactly they are, which leads directly into monitoring his self talk. By understanding them he could then have some kind of control over how it played out within the confines of his interpersonal communication. He would be able to stop saying all the derogatory and negative words and begin saying uplifting and boasting capabilities that would offer a pep talk instead of a funeral. Once he is able to challenge those debilitating thoughts with the rational – emotive approach, he would begin to have a healthy attitude towards himself and others around him (Wood, 2013,
