He enjoyed his loneliness during his so called journeys. One evening he was stopped by police car, and was asked about the reason for such walk. He was asked to get in the police car, where there were no people at all. He didn’t know about the place, where they were going, but it turned out to be a psychiatric hospital. They rolled by Mr. Mead’s house and that road led nowhere.
The essay strength is its ability to review one of the difficult techniques that Alice Walker has used to narrate the story. This is because symbolism is not easily identifiable, but the essay has successfully done so. I do not see any weakness of the essay because the essay has accomplished its objectives. The specific feedback I would like from the instructor is recommendations of how the essay can be improved in the context of activities of symbolism in walker’s story. Brief preview of the story.
A big bad wolf saw the two little pigs while they danced and played and thought, “What juicy tender meals they will make!” He chased the two pigs but they ran and hid in their houses. So the big bad wolf went to the first house made out of straw, and within a minute of huffing and puffing he blew the house down. The frightened little pig ran to the second pig’s house that was made of sticks. The big bad wolf then came to that house and huffed and puffed and blew the house down in hardly any time. Now, the two little pigs were terrified and ran to the third pig’s house that was made of bricks.
We saw the destruction of human life within the house, the image of the family interacting in the garden capturing a slice of life as it was at the very moment of the explosion as well as the impact on everyday life. Ironically, the electronic house dies like a human as nature ends up destroying it, symbolic of human foolishness as
Stories Stress the Importance to Have Faith; Comparative Essay Stories can have a vast variety of different aspects, patterns, and meanings. A story usually consists of a plot, or story line, that leads the protagonist on "the hero's quest"; a journey the central character endures throughout a story. Stories are produced to divert the reader from life, or to teach the reader a lesson. For some, stories are not just words that are strung together; they are words with deeper meanings and ideas expressed through suspense, action, and emotion. Stories are an essence of life, and help shape individuals as they grow.
“The Bath” and “Cathedral” by Raymond Carver Essay One Final David Gruss April 15, 2008 Raymond Carver is an author who will let the reader’s mind interpret to where a story may go while reading his short stories. This is very true in two particular works of Carver’s. Those works are “The Bath” and “Cathedral”. In those two short stories Raymond Carver writes in a very direct, bare-bones style that gives the reader just enough information to be sufficient and yet leaves the reader wanting more from his short stories after reading them. “The Bath” is about the boy named “Scotty” who is hit by a car, while walking to school with his friend on his birthday.
With that the reader is left to piece together the meaning of other characters around him. Having someone who is autistic narrate a story affects the outlook of the book as a whole. With the narrator living through the novels events, emotion is a key perk. On the other hand, not everything is given upfront. Readers must pay attention to the story line and associate the factors that relate.
The Virgin Suicides and the Writing Self Usually our voice for telling a story is our own writing self. A person that understands the situation at hand and speaks in a manner relevant to the situation. We don't normally create a separate narrator to make our writing more interesting. We simply write our thoughts and opinions to convey our ideas. But Jeffery Eugenides writing the Virgin Suicides brought out a separate part of himself to narrate for him.
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. A fictional novel can be made to feel real to a reader by use of details. If a book uses a lot of small details and intricacies it creates a world around the novel that can feel convincing and suck the reader in. Often books that invent a world tend to play off the world that already exists around them and then alter things so that the reader has a way 'in' to the plot and a level to connect with it on and then can open their mind to what the author chooses to add. Some famous series that do this include Harry Potter by J.K.Rowling, Lord of the Rings by J.R.R.Tolkein and Naughts and Crosses by Malorie Blackman.
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.
