    Octavia Butler Fledgling Summary

    This literary analysis will be of Octavia Butler’s 2005 novel, Fledgling, exploring the role of the narrator and protagonist, Shori Matthews. The question to be examined is whether or not the voice of the sympathetic character comes across as reliable, or unreliable to the reader. For Shori’s role to be properly analyzed, it is important to become acquainted with the author. Ms. Butler is a master storyteller, extraordinaire. She is also a black feminist, known for spurring conversations in book clubs and classrooms across America. In Fledgling, like many of her books, women hold an esteemed place of authority.

    Forge by Laurie Anderson Literary Analysis

    Curzon is faced with many changes in the Forge including maturing into a young adult. Many readers will be able to make a strong connection to the feelings and the new challenges evoked by young Curzon’s first hand view into becoming a man. Anderson’s target audience is young adults for a reason. Forge is a great “coming of age novel” like The Adventures of Huckleberry Fin. Since the book is in a journal entry format, many readers who are going through the similar changes can get a day by day account of growing up which creates a very strong relationship between the reader and Curzon. Curzon experiences mixed emotions for Isabel, even ones that he has never felt before. Curzon seemed to have a big brother type of relationship at the beginning of Forge but toward the end he develops somewhat of tenderness for Isabel. All the amends to his life are very evident in his action which is an experience that everyone will more.…

    The Terrors Of Youth In Richard Finny's A Separate Peace

    There are many memories that may come to mind when the word adolescence is spoken. Some people recall times of enjoyable, innocent adventures, but for others the phrase “teenage years” holds horrific memories. For a section of the populace their “teen experiences” may be the most appalling time period, as they begin to undergo many changes. This concept of dark adolescence is present, not only in the real world, but in the literary world as well. For example, in the novel A Separate Peace where a friendship turned in the wrong direction and a deadly war, mark the moments of growing up. While some readers believe that Phineas (Finny) and Gene’s separate peace shows the innocence of youthful occurrences; a closer inquiry demonstrates that through mental illness and death , adolescence is a time of terror, thus showing a theme of the realization of reality.…

    Narrative Voice In Chronicle Of A Death Foretold

    This essay will explain about the narrative voice that is used in novels and how it misleads or mystifies the reader. Narrative voice defines the tone of the narrator stating their point of view. It presents the reader the situation which causes the narrator to have control over the reader’s mood. For example in the novel Perfume: the story of a murder by Patrick Suskind the author created a third person omniscient point of view. Therefore it allows the reader to know multiple characters feelings and thoughts.…

    South L. A School Ethos

    Beatty began teaching at the school as a person unaware of the frequency or dullness of the news of shootings. She highlights this in her article by drawing the readers’ attention to how routinely the students processed the news. There was no emotion for the students because it was a reality of life, however, for the author and the majority of the reading audience it is not a common occurrence. Beatty uses the mundane reaction of the students to strengthen her pathos by highlighting how desensitized the students are to violence. This point is further proven by the author’s shock to how unemotional Angelica is that her brother had been shot. In doing this she utilizes pathos by introducing readers to the horrible idea of the emotion of a loved one being shot being negligible. In addition to this, Beatty calls to the attention of the readers the lives of slain students. She shows readers how innocent they were and after citing their innocence the author bluntly relays the cause of their horrific death. This writing by the author introduces a character only to rip the image of innocence out of the readers head and replace it with the horrifying reality of murder and death. This use of imagery effectively triggers emotion in readers and is a use of pathos by the author. However, perhaps the most effective use of pathos by Beatty was bringing to the attention of readers that the lives of these kids are not only afflicted by violence, but are hopeless. Beatty features this sentiment saying: “They know how the world sees them, these teenagers with no cars, and no prospects for college.” By bringing the hopelessness of the kids to the attention of the reader Beatty is able to make readers think about their own lives and goals and understand that if they swapped lives with…
