Readers must pay attention to the story line and associate the factors that relate. This may be a challenge for readers who are not used to reading from this point of view. But overall it does make for a well told story.

In the next written assignment, I will adventure into the school life of Holden, and how the events in his family affected what he saw in school, and how he saw the world. In a quick view we see Holden pick up and tart read The Outsiders after a day of trying to contact his older brother, and it seems that the failure of this will bring the day to a low point that will continue throughout other activities, but its until he read the book that the melancholy passes over him regarding the situation between the three brothers, same as his own sibling. We see here a different side of Holden that we don’t see in the "Catcher in the Rye" until almost the very end of the book. I think if it had been added in the book, a scene with nature of this, the
The perks of being a wallflower. By Stephen Chbosky This book is made up of letters to a stranger. The author of these letters; Charlie, is starting his first year of high school in the wake of his best friends suicide and he finds solace in writing about his feelings of loss to a stranger– someone who he once overheard a mutual friend talking about. We never discover to whom he was writing, only that they are trustworthy and addressed by Charlie as “Dear Friend”. During the year over which the letters span, this friend becomes the unwitting outlet for Charlie’s coming-of-age.
Dale Disney Professor Pucciarelli English Composition: Section 64 21 September 2011 FICTION OR DESCRIPTION There are various techniques to write and share stories. Which technique is best to use seems to be subjective. In both Joan Didion’s essay “On Keeping a Notebook” and Patricia Hampl’s essay “The Dark Art of Description” illustrates this fact clearly. While Joan Didion uses rhetorical questions, personal anecdotes, and imaginary facts to record her life experiences, Patricia Hampl uses imagery and vignettes in her writings, but based on the fact that Patricia Hampl uses less falsehoods in her stories, her style of writing is more appealing to the reader. Joan Didion uses rhetorical questions in her notebook to engage readers into the story of her notebook writings.
I personally agree with Nabokov’s theory about good readers. If we don’t detach ourselves a little from the story we will be too blinded by our emotions to appreciate the real art of the story. A good reader needs a great writer and vice versa. A good reader must comprehend the story through the proper use of his imagination, memory, and artistic sense. Having an imagination is necessary to get deeper in the story, and a good memory is also required to tie the pieces of the story together.
This word was part of the language used back then. Some people see this word and conclude it’s an inappropriate word. In result, people like Moore are trying to switch the N word to “slave”. I think Mark Twain used this word to make the reader more indulged in the book. This may be an inappropriate word in some cases in today’s society, but it helps the novel’s plot and characters come to life.
When late at night the child's body is returned Heaney sees this as “the corpse” (not a person). Back to top This contrasts wonderfully with the final section of the poem, where he is alone with his brother. Note the personal pronouns “him”, “his”, “he” - as opposed to “the corpse”. The calm mood is beautifully shown in the transferred epithet (“Snowdrops/And candles soothed the bedside” - literally they soothed the young Heaney). The flowers are a symbol in the poem, but also in reality for the family (a symbol of new life, after death).
These characteristics can influence the opinions and even the interpretations of a reader which is why the author’s decision is vital in how he or she wants the story to be viewed. There are many reasons why authors choose child narrators when writing story. There is usually a lesson to be learned when writing a short story or fiction. What better narrator to use than an innocent child, right? Children’s inexperience to life is a great way for authors to create lesson learning, life-like situations for readers by demonstrating bad decision making.
FALLACIES While reading a short story we often tend to overlook minor and sometimes even major fallacies in the story. If we look again at the fallacy carefully we learn that the story is far-fetched. These fallacies are not simply amongst amateur authors but even with distinguished ones. The reason we overlook these errors is because we are so involved in the story that we believe everything. At times we sympathize with the main character and then tend to believe all the fallacies that the author puts forward.
