This is evident in the disastrous wedding scene between Hero and Claudio. When Claudio accuses Hero of being disgrace to her family, he is believed. Hero denies Claudio’s claims that she was flirting with another man at her window, but Don Pedro says he definitely saw her too. Hero was found “guilty” because the men said she was (4.1.30-110). She was not declared innocent until Benedick and the friar discover what happened and told everyone (4.1.186-255 and 4.2.50).
The first person narrative is as accessible as contemporary dialogue. Nothing is overly dramatized or glamorized, even the account of an overseer brutally whipping Dana on the plantation. Although, it may be because Dana is a straightforward character who is not excitable, I thought the simple style lacked intensity. For me, Kindred came across as a novel for kids and young adults that uses fiction to teach what life in the past--in this case, slavery in the 1800s--was really like. One major theme in Kindred is adapting to difficult situations, and many of the characters must do this, with a varying degree of acceptance.

Cooperjames from “The beacon” and Mr. Summers from “The Lottery”, who are both are responsible for keeping the tradition alive, and executing most of the activities of the ritual, there is a particular difference between the two stories in terms of how the rituals could be morally criticized by the viewer and lector respectively. In “The Beacon” the character of Dr. Barrows who is an outsider and not a member of the village, strongly objects and ever interferes with the beacons will by curing the chosen little girl who was supposed to die, with that happened the villagers decided to carry on with the ritual and kill Dr. Barrows in place of the little girl. On the other hand, in “The Lottery”, it is one of the village member Mrs. Hutchinson who tries to avoid the ceremony by forgetting the date and then arriving late to the event with a suspicious attitude of excusing herself, and even after her family draws the black dot she continuously showed signs of disagreement by saying “You didn’t give him time enough to take any paper he wanted. I saw you. It wasn’t fair!” and she continues to argue the unfairness of the ceremony, but she doesn’t do anything about it and accepts that’s the way the ritual has always been and she is stoned.
On chapter eight, she hits a girl called Carly because she called Josie a ‘wog’. Since Carly’s dad was out of control, Josie calls her dad to defend herself since he is a barrister. This definitely makes the barbeque event pretty useless since both of them have broken their promise to keep out of each other’s lives. The eighth chapter gave us an idea that the barbeque even is useless between families; even though Michael has fled eighteen years ago. This event gives us another idea that we have no one better to rely on, than your family.
As I Lay Dying: Darl Darl has the most narration time in the novel, as well as the most sensitive language. However, we know by the other characters' descriptions of him that outside of his mind, Darl is not actually that talkative. Yet, he speaks with a language far above that of other family members. He is therefore the character that Faulkner has the most power to expound upon, which is a possible reason for why he narrates so much. The author has Darl narrating most often because he is the most reliable character in the novel since he is the one character that seems to speak the most for the author, William Faulkner.
But these characters were no accident. They may not seem like they have significance to the story but in reality the author strategically used them in The Great Gatsby for adding to the plot, creating new and ongoing themes, and supporting the main characters. Myrtle Wilson’s presence in the novel builds all the way until the end of the story with the climax. Myrtle’s impact on the novel has the most effect on the story out of the other minor characters. It all starts with Myrtles lies and her affair.
Stephen Gadaleta Brooke Falk 101: Expository Writing – LW December 7th, 2009 Adaptation Leads to the Truth When telling a story, more often or not, the truth is what counts. If it is revealed that a story is not real, many would be disappointed. The emphasis on reality and truth are both key ideas in Annie Dillard's, "The Wreck of Time" and Tim O'Brien's, "How to Tell a True War Story." Dillard writes with a vigor, she outlines many different statistics and does a lot of number analyzing, in order to convey her idea. Dillard does not write to entertain, she writes to awaken readers to thoughts and ideas they previously ignored.
(Hood) Based on Hood’s viewpoint Alone & Altogether would not be a good story because there was no clear goal. A high school student says a little differently, “A good story has a climate, hook, interesting characters, appropriate tone, resolution, obstacles, conflict, and challenges.” (Claire) Alone and All Together would be a good story if you were to look at it through Hannan’s view. The characteristics both these views have in common are that a good story should have a hook, conflict, resolution, challenges, interesting characters, and obstacles. Considering these things Alone and All Together is a good story because it has all of these features. Major contributors to making Alone and All Together a good story are its conflict, challenges, and resolution.
