Tom finder
So far in the book "Tom Finder", I learned that there is a boy named Tom, but he doesn't remember anything. I think he has amnesia and forgot a lot of things like, his last name, address, parents, friends, school, etc. having to forget everything can be difficult, it's like losing your life that you built up for so many years. If I had lost my memory I would freak out a lot. But, Tom was different, he was worried but he also just went with the flow. Tom always thought he was invisible to others, and tried to keep it that way. For example, he said to himself, "Tom, Tom, Tom," as he walked so he wouldn't forget that his first name was Tom, he might be invisible even to himself. This quote tells that Tom was very invisible, maybe even to himself. He wanted to remember his name "Tom" because that was the only thing he remembered and didn't want to forget that either. I personally don't know anyone who lost their memory, but I think it would be miserable because, first their parents would be worrying a lot and that person would be wondering around looking for their home. Tom also met this man named Samuel Wolfsleg who said that Tom was a finder, and he would find Samuels lost son. At first, I thought he was crazy, but it turns out he isn't. Tom was freaked out about it at first, but then later he thought he was a finder, which gave him the name "Tom Finder". Tom would always wonder where he came from, who he was, if he was nice, rich or poor. Who wouldn't wonder about all of these things. losing everything can be hard.

    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 reflective tone, when it…

    Focusing on Tom after the accident, his mind was dark. Despair grew around him; sucking him into a place he wasn’t sure if he wanted to go. The cave, ‘a dark brown place’ is his room, the room his uncle called his own when he was a boy. The cave signifies the inside of Tom, but not throughout the whole book. Tom moves through life day by day, moment by moment, in a struggle to get back to the happy place he was before the accident. The darkness Jane Burke focusses on at the start of the book shows how much dark is compared to light, from the start of the book to the final page.…

    To an extent Burke also cleverly depicts the concept of misconceptions by introducing Tom as a mentally frail individual who is unable to overcome his brother’s “f*** ups.”” I curled myself into a little ball, hid my head under my knees and let the darkness suck me into its belly.” Through the use of personification, Tom’s isolation from rest of the world is captured negatively evoking empathy from the audience. It is not until later in the novel that Tom’s story is revealed and he is referred to as “a strong individual who is not afraid to hide his past.” Thus, by Tom building a greater understanding of his new world, his experience has challenged his attitudes and beliefs. Also, Tom’s relationship with his family was a major turning point within the novel. Tom builds a greater relationship with his grandmother, Daniel, his dad, Brendan and Kylie ultimately allowing him to build a greater relationship with himself. Tom’s shift in attitude has allowed him to progress into the world and ultimately challenged his current…

    Invisible Man Tone Essay

    The novel is introduced with a prologue where the author acquaints us with the "invisible man" and why he is knowledgeable about his invisibility. His use of diction is simple and informal and his sentence structure provides the reader with short sentences that imply factual information about him. To invisible man; light is truth, people do not accept him as an individual for any matter, and he longs for his individual freedom but finds that the coward within himself stands in the way. The author's imagery of the character's invisibility is apparent throughout the prologue. He presents the reader with an image of a man in existence but a rejection of the very own society that he belongs to. "The invisibility to which I refer occurs because of a particular disposition of the eyes of those whom I come in contact." (pg. 3) Ellison backs up his use of imagery with vivid detail. He talks of society's "inner eyes." These eyes to him are the eyes that replace the physical ones and alter the authentic look on reality. Invisible man's outlook on society causes him to become detached. Because of the character's detachment, the tone of the prologue takes on an eerie effect that is created by a man who lives in his own existence and invisibility. The tone of the character also comes off as dreamy, for this very man longs…
