Dr. Carol Dweck researches environmental factors and how we view our intelligence. Her theory proposes we take either an entity view or an incremental view of ourselves (Niehart‚ Reis‚ Robinson & Moon‚ 2002). People with an entity view see their intelligence as fixed.

Narrative “New Literary” Criticism A good novel is hard to put down. The story in the novel is perfect with a great plot‚ convincing characters‚ and a suspenseful build up to the climax.
