'Most novels are written to reflect real events in real worlds'. Discuss the features that make a novel you have studied seem realistic (or unrealistic), and explain why realism is appropriate (or inappropriate) to the novel's main themes Many novels reflect true events in the world in some way and are written to feel realistic to the reader. This is to make the ideas in the novel easier to take on board and more relevant to the reader's actual lives. One such novel is The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood. 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.
Of the essay styles narrative and descriptive which is most appealing? Narrative and descriptive essays are both personal writings that may share a personal experience or perspective, and it can be an effective method for offering a viewpoint on a text or an event (Connell, C. & Sole, K. (2013). A descriptive essay creates a picture of a person, place, thing or event for the reader. While we all know that a narrative essay uses your point of view to tell a true, false, imaginary, or combination of all to tell a very interesting story about any event. A narrative essays lets you write from your heart and gives you more freedom.
THotS Essay A narrator “is somebody who tells a story”, well at least that’s what the Encarta Dictionary says. When the point of view of the narrator is from more than one character it is dual narration, or two different narrators. Permitting the reader to be told the same story from two different perspectives, allows additional insight to the novel through the literary technique of foreshadowing. In addition to foreshadowing, Magical Realism takes its toll throughout this book. Being introduced to the same character in multiple circumstances furthers the reader’s familiarity with the characters.

These are just a few of the many benefits your child will experience and enjoy. Imagine watching your child enjoying a healthy, active sport with other children their age and knowing that they are creating the very best atmosphere a child can have. Youth soccer is an athletic sport enjoyed by over three million children in the United States today (Hick, 2005,p.1). Soccer is a great way to prevent child obesity, which affects one in three children in America today. One of the main reasons the sport is so popular is it keeps children active and in shape.

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.
Thought Provoking Stories “Everyday Use” by Alice Walker and “The Story of an Hour” by Kate Chopin are great examples of various literary elements.

The narrative in The Magic Toyshop which puts you in the shoes of Melanie has the same effect as a first person reading of the story, seeks to engage the reader and make the story seem more personal. In Jane Eyre, Bronte reminds those reading her book that it is a written narrative by direct address such as 'Reader, I married him'. In doing this, Bronte indentifies her reader as a companion or friend, peering into the intimate moments in Jane's life. However, the feel of intimacy within the novel is not lost within The Magic Toyshop due to the third person narrative, as they are not detached from the protagonist; due to being closely aligned to our protagonist so that the narrative slips into free indirect thought, of which the narrator has access to and gives commentary upon. The narrator is sometimes mocking and sardonic towards Melanie, referring to her as a ''foolish girl'', but sympathetic at other times which we see through the brash attitude towards other characters e.g.
It is my opinion the writer used this element well, as it grabbed my attention and made it a fun and interesting reading. It also built that small mystery regarding if she was speaking the truth or not, as midpoint thru the reading it made me question her gender preference which I found humorous. In Brady, J. (1971) “I Want a Wife,” she used the final statement “My God, who wouldn’t want a wife?” in order to draw a conclusion to the reader that she was making a statement based on experiences. The way I Plan on using the literary elements in my essay would be by using Tone and Language expression that will help the reader paint a mental picture of a current situation within my essay.
