Nicholas Yu Collison AP English Language and Composition 13 October 2013 The Cold Blooded Journalist Our world is rapidly changing, morphing itself to suit the needs of people around the world. Journalism is no exception, as it has metamorphosed through advances in technology and new opinions that many people hold. However, Journalism’s goals remain constant, and throughout the novel In Cold Blood by Truman Capote, Capote attempts to fulfill many of them. Although Capote is not an ideal journalist, Truman functions as an outstanding storyteller, effective aggregator, and imperfect moral leader because he forms strong interpersonal relations with those he finds important to his writing, and because of his frequent use of repetition to
These topical matters which Yolen has used are the holocaust, and the fairy-tale sleeping beauty or less commonly known as briar rose. Both these subject matters are well known in society and have had huge impacts on history. Being such well known subject matters instantly engages the audience as they are able to apply their knowledge and to make cross-links between the two subject matters. Intertextuality of any text will be intriguing and engaging as the audience is able to compare and to know the basic outline of what is to come, this could be considered dramatic irony. The symbolism of the holocaust is engaging as fairy-tales are always considered to have a happy ending but using such a dark topical matter which seems to have no happy outcomes is able to surprise the audience and to keep them reading as the audience is waiting to see the “Happily ever after” (pg.
Written in a first person narrative, Enduring Love displays tension in a cumulative manner. Ian McEwan uses a range of devices to show the build-up of tension, through the use of form, structure and language McEwan effectively captures the reader’s attention through suspense. McEwan uses short sentences and sentence fluency to create tension for example “I ran faster.” this device effectively makes the actions and the story move faster, when the pace is quickened it creates a sense of urgency, frankness and realism. This makes the reader feel like they are part of the unfolding situation. Comparable to the beginning of the novel McEwan immediately dives into the plot with the objective being to captivating the reader, he starts the novel with the sentence “The beginning is simple to mark”, and by using the word ‘beginning’ it leaves the reader to suggest that an important event is going to take place.
“The Yellow Wallpaper” Reading “The Yellow Wallpaper” by Perkins Gilman is enough to make anyone feel crazy enough to relate to the story’s narrator. This story effectively uses fast paced descriptive language to describe the main focus of the story, which is the wallpaper. This constant recurrent picture is analyzed over and over to the point where it is nearly impossible to picture the vivid details of the ever-changing design. With this repetitive text, I believe that Gilman is trying to simultaneously keep the reader entertained, while offering firsthand looks into the obsessive mind of the narrator. Toward the beginning, the story maintains a typical gothic feel.
Although, both Amir and Rahim Khan tell their stories in a formal manner. Hosseini does this to add ferocity to the story, whilst the change of manner of voice suggests a significant change to the reader. Hosseini uses the change of voice to show a turning point within the story as Hassan is brought back to Amir’s memory. The whole chapter is spoken in Rahim Khan’s narrative and is mostly his dialogue in monologue, though readers understand that Amir is listening as he references his presence, ‘‘You’d recognise him.’’ The style of monologue helps tell the story personally so that the readers become involved and indulge in every detail. It also allows sole focus on the story Rahim Khan is telling, once again pointing to extreme significance and importance within the story.
The word choice helps understand what the narrator, who is also the main character of the book, is feeling and sincerely thinking. “The crowd draws in a collective breath and then you can hear a pin drop, and I’m feeling nauseous and so desperately hoping that it’s not me, that it’s not me, that it’s not me (Collins 20).” Collins uses intricate words that give the story a lot more depth than if she had used commonplace, everyday words. Not only does she use
Intention is used commonly and very clear in this novel. The author uses a lot of rhetorical questions to get the reader thinking. He lures in the reader with a lot of dramatic irony to get the reader thinking. His intention is for the reader to keep flipping the pages in order to figure out the true ending to the story. In the story the writer begins it with a causal story line, he later follows it with very elusive and interesting concepts to help build the story up to its climax.
Now with the overcrowding of prisons, criminal law is changing once again. In this paper the sources and purposes of criminal law will be explained. Facts on jurisdiction information will be described in order to define where the laws are enforced and created. Max Weber said that, the “primary purpose of law is to regulate the flow of human interaction” (Schmalleger, Hall, & Dolatowski, 2010 p 15). Human interaction is either kind or harmful.
Dialogue: Mark Twain utilized clever and witty dialogue often in The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. From Tom Sawyer's plans to cause trouble to Huck tricking Jim, the dialogue often serves a comedic purpose. However, there are several instances where the tone becomes serious, and these instances are often used to further the plot and provide an opportunity for another ridiculous encounter. Mark Twain's masterful utilization of dialogue helped establish the novel as a classic. Stream of Consciousness: One of the most commonly used literary element in The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is the stream of consciousness.
I like to think of it as the " oh what the _ _ _ _!" factor (all those reading, theres more than one word to put into those blanks! =P) Its something you don't expect to happen, and it makes you want to keep reading, because now everything has just changed. Whatever the reader had in mind, it's all out the window because now something new just came up. I like surprises in books, much more enjoyable to
