Summary Of Charlotte's Web
The Crossover uses poem to introduce the life of the twins, Josh Bell and Jordan, how to find the conflicts and start to fix it. This setting is in the city and the twins are African American in upper class. Differently, people do not see the class and inequality problem in this book. This book just introduces the normal life and problems in this twins’ life. Author uses the first person and limited omniscient point of view to write this book. First person narrator means that “the reader, he or she cannot tell what another character thinks unless explicitly told (Lukens, 193).” In this book, people follows the 12 years old boy Josh. This story is from Josh’s view. It is a helpful method for making children represent themselves to the Josh’s story. Author uses some short poems and it is little hard for children. However, when the author uses the first-person narrator method to …show more content…
In the Charlotte’s Web, author uses the omniscient and third-person narrator point of view to write this book because this story includes some fancy factors. Children are hard to represent the animals’ thinking if the author uses the first-person narrator point of view. Differently, the Crossover writes a story which possibly happens anywhere. This story just wants to express one boy’s feeling and thinking with his twin. For example, author writes the sentence from Josh’s aspect.
“My twin brother is a baller. The only thing he loves more than basketball is betting. If it’s ninety degrees outside and the sky is cloudless, he will bet you that it’s going to rain (17).”
Through Josh’s introduction, readers can feel the happiness from Josh. However, if these sentences wrote as the third-person narrator point of view, readers are hard to feel it. Even though the two books tell the warm story, the different point of view makes reader have different feelings towards the two

    One is extremely sensitive and attention-wanting, while the other is mature and mellow. One takes an idea way too far and causes an extreme internal conflict, which he will never hear the end of, while the other unintentionally causes a short-term external conflict which barely includes himself. These two characters also learn completely different things. One learns of his actual strength and that he doesn’t have inflammatory rheumatism, where the other character doesn’t lear anything except maybe to be more careful where and how he sets up his cot. When you think about it, though, there are also some big similarities between the two. For example both of these characters, intentionally or not, are the main responsibility for the story’s conflict. Both of the characters’ conflicts also involve their families. Lastly, they both lie during the story and learn it doesn’t pay off in the end. The similarities and differences between these two characters is just one small example of the many different characters in short stories. Next time you read a short story, think about what they do, and do not have in…

    Truth by W. P Kinsella

    The author’s narrative point of view was developed clearly by Silas. Silas speaks as the narrator by telling the story from the first-person point of view. The author allows the readers to share Silas and Frank’s perceptions and to recognize that those perceptions are elaborated. However, Frank Fencepost, his closest friend, is the main character. Silas begins the story by explaining his and Frank experiences in managing the Hobbema Wagonburner’s hockey team. Silas’ voice and vision allows us closer to Frank’s perspective to see their world depicted in the story – “We never would have been there anyway if Frank hadn’t learned to read and write. Someday, I’m going to write a story about the time Frank go to an adult literacy class” (Kinsella 153). By using the first-person point of view, the readers find it easier to unfold, see the depth and realism of the story.…

This allows the reader to get a feel for what's going on. Through the important interaction of the author with the blind boy, you are able to see the lesson that is trying to be taught. The language the author selects for himself and the little boy help the audience to see into their characters. McDonald uses short sentences, symbolizing his short temper and lack of patience with the boy. McDonald portrays himself as an angry and ill character, at the beginning of the story by having him shout phrases at the boy and cussing at the little boy when the boy asks for help.…

Everything contains words that can form ideas, sentences, opinions, and etc. It was a relief from understanding that words can be a source of pleasure and an escape from hatred. He determines that the love of literature had a purpose on his life, to try to save his life. He paints a picture of himself speaking to kids who remind him of the struggle to be Indian in the non-Indian environment.

    It begins with the dramatic line "Everybody hates me." The author then proceeds to take us on a journey written in the first person from the point-of-view of Tao Symonds, the eleven year old narrator and central character, as he reflects on the previous few months of his life. Tao thinks the whole world is against him. He is suffering pressure from school, his parents and their new partners, as well as from his peers to join in theirescapades and to top it all off, his dog has died. Tao feels confused and angry because his parents, middle aged surfer father, Greg, and his mother, a teacher called Christine, are in the process of a break-up. Tao then lists his troubles and tells the reader of his present dread as he is taken by his mother to meet Mr. Petrovic, a Croatian immigrant, to apologize for something he says is not his fault, at least not entirely his fault. Through the use of past and present tense, Colin Bowles complicates the plot telling us in Tao's view how it all started.…

    People exploring new experiences will have to overcome many challenges, and will undergo personal growth. ‘Into the World’ can be interpreted as outlooks of growing up and adjustment into new stages of a person’s life. It can mean changing normally, or having to change without any choice in the matter. In either case, any person exploring new experiences will encounter challenges, but along the way they will undergo personal growth. This is apparent in the prescribed text, ‘The Story of Tom Brennan’ by JC Burke, as well as my chosen text, ‘The Arrival’ by Shaun Tan. The idea of ‘new experiences’ may not always begin positively. For instance, in Burke’s novel, ‘The Story of Tom Brennan’, one disastrous accident made him and his family to leave their hometown of Mumbilli, forcing every character to go through an emotional release. This provokes Tom to become very reserved and distant as he grows resentful and bitter of the whole predicament and progressively being pushed “back into that big, black hole”. He becomes very depressed, reclusive and alienated as he attempts to deal with the situation that his brother, Daniel, has caused. The author projects Tom’s thoughts, emotions, perceptions and opinions through a large range of techniques. The audience is aware of Tom’s growing guilt through the technique of first person writing (on page 124). “Like I said, that was a low point.” The believable, grammatical, impressionistic voice of the teenage narrator creates a confidential relationship with the readers, as well as keeping them engaged. It also gives us insight into Tom’s inner most thoughts. As Tom plunges into intense feelings of guilt and animosity, he becomes numb to the struggles the other members of his family are facing. One of the most effective and engaging techniques used by the author to capture the reader’s attention, is the use of flashbacks. The Story of Tom Brennan is a nonlinear narrative, and this is first evident in the prologue, which has a…
