    Henry James’ The Turn of the Screw is written with one clear and true ending where Miles dies and the readers are left to guess the rest for themselves. Or is it? Right from the prologue‚ a reader may assume that Miles and Douglas are indeed the same person‚ but when the reader sees‚ “and his little heart‚ dispossessed‚ had stopped.” P.403 one dismisses that theory as lost‚ but it isn’t. Perhaps one ignore the idea because of many unclear allusions to discrepancies. James’ use of deliberate vagueness

    James Thurber was one of the most influential and unforgettable writers of his kind. He made modern-day problems seem preventable in the minds of people‚ and he tried to make them realize that the problems had to have a source. Thurber wrote of people struggling with day-to-day life that was once trouble-free and drew his ideas of humanity losing the direction it once had in the past. He attributed this change to wandering minds and ignorant actions on man’s behalf. James Thurber used his artistic

This is especially apparent in three of his other works‚ Daisy Miller: A Study‚ Roderick Hudson‚ and The Portrait Of A Lady. However‚ in his short story‚ The Beast In The Jungle‚ there is another theme that takes center stage. That theme is fate; moreover‚ the failure to control that fate. In The Beast

    Matisse started to create large scale cut paper collages. He called the technique ‘painting with scissors’. Peter Kozlov is a very skilful painter that creates colourful pictures that look like a photograpy. He paints with oil and his works have a tendency to move to Hyperrealism. The most frequent subject matter of his works is a still life that usually involves fruits. What is amazing about Peter is his great attention to details. Each of his picture is a thoughtfully arranged composition of

    The personal novel I chose was called “Daisy Miller” by Henry James. The publishers were Harper & Brothers‚ which was published in 1879. There are a total of 43 pages. The way James’ novels are structured is that he begins it with a situation and a character. James would then‚ in effect‚ sit back and simply observe what would happen when a character was confronted with this new situation. This allowed him more freedom and allowed him the opportunity of "getting to know" his character by observing

    The novel “ The Turn of the Screw”‚ by Henry James explores the thin line between what it means to be sane and what it means to be insane.
