    How Does the sentence structure make us (the reader) feel for Chris when he is talking about his mum's death? On chapter fifty-three Chris explains what he was thinking straight after his mum died. Chris gives off an abnormal behaviour when his mother passes, straight after Chris learning that his mother is no longer alive, he doesn't cry or mourn, instead Chris asks what type of heart attack his mum died from. Chris probably asks this because he can't read or tell emotions very well because of his autism, so he doesn't know if this is a happy occasion or a sad one.…

    In The Nightingale and the Red Rose, there are several matters to be taken into account. Firstly, a plot technique that is used to make the story more interesting is foreshadowing. As the story proceeds, the author gives a clue about how hard and high-priced it is to have a red rose; the Nightingale has to fly around the garden and is failed time after time by answers of rose trees. Yet, she still keeps on finding a way to get a red rose. It turns out to be that the red rose costs her life. Another foreshadowing event is when the student thinks about the girl he falls in love with before he sleeps. Her bad points flow out in his head- "has she got feeling? I am afraid not.", "without any sincerity", and "She would not sacrifice herself to others."- implying a negative ending. An exposition of the story is well introduced in the first paragraph. There is a young student with a desire of a red rose to give to his dream girl so that she would dance with him in a ball, but, unfortunately, no red rose appears in his garden. A complication, therefore, starts from that point when a conflict of an absence of a red rose arises. "If I bring her a red rose she will dance with me till dawn… But there is no red rose in my garden." Subsequently, the complication continues as the Nightingale cries for a red rose no matter what it takes, and the complication reaches its highest point, a climax, once the poor Nightingale has to choose between her life and the red rose for the sake of the student's love. A conclusion is that the Nightingale takes her life for granted and willingly sacrifices it in order to make the red rose from her blood as she says "Death is a great price to pay for a red rose… Love is better than life, and what is the heart of a bird compared to the heart of a man?" Obviously, the story shows a conflict between two ideas of love; the Nightingale symbolizes people who strongly believe in love, can die for love…

After the family discovers their connection to the previously noble, now decrepit D’Urberville family, Tess is sent off to the D’Urberville mansion, a house owned by a nouveau riche family who has legally changed its name to D’Urberville but has no real connection to the ancient clan. While Tess’s ostensible purpose is to tend to the blind Mrs. D’Urberville’s collection of birds, her family really hopes that she can ensnare Alec D’Urberville, Mrs. D’Urberville’s lascivious son, as her husband and thus remove her family from rural poverty. After repeatedly rebuffing Alec’s advances, Tess is raped and conceives a child. Leaving the mansion and returning to her family, Tess has a son who she names Sorrow; he dies shortly after birth but not before Tess herself baptizes him.
