Step by wicked step‚ my boots sank further and further into the thick‚ red-tinged land as if the devil himself were dragging my body straight into the depths of hell. The rhythmic squelching stabbed through my rubber soles‚ radiating pain throughout my soul as it seared everything in its path. Squelch‚ squelch‚ squish. My tempo was interrupted by those cursed boots refusing to budge from the stubborn terrain. As if taunting me‚ the earth unhooked my feet from the damned soil and I found myself catapulted

Three days‚ six hours and twenty-two minutes have passed. White walls seem to drag and crawl their way around me in padded squares. Shadows flickered on the walls moving waveringly around me. The room remains immersed in darkness‚ (drowning) but I can still hear the screaming man. He has been here for six days‚ four hours and fifteen minutes and doesn’t seem to be leaving anytime soon. I don’t know his name‚ nor do I know why the shrinks let him in here with me‚ but all he does is sit there and

The indirect interior monologue we get next is essential. There is something seriously affecting Henry— his faith is being tested— and what he once found comforting is now not. He is worried and this worry is mentioned twice in one paragraph. Henry also admits his sadness. Now compare this segment to the exchange between him and his wife. He does not tell her of this sadness‚ his worry or his confusion. He clearly thinks about her own lack of faith‚ but does not ask her about that either. Instead

The similarities between Joyce’s Ulysses and Homer’s Odyssey are unmistakable even from Joyce’s choice of title as Ulysses is the Latin derivative of Odysseus the hero portrayed in Homer’s Odyssey. Adding to the comparisons between the two are the numerous characters portrayed throughout Joyce’s novel as they are a direct modernised parallel to those depicted in Homer’s poem. Joyce’s character Leopold Bloom is a mirror image to Homer’s Odysseus as is Odysseus’s son Telemachus interpreted through

Once again Hillenbrand uses her stylistic imagery. Here‚ like many other times‚ she tries to appeal to emotions by describing how physically pathetic Louie has become. However‚ Louie’s interior monologue makes a statement that narration can not quite capture. The analogy comparing his current state to that of a “dead body breathing” provides insight to Louie’s mindset after capture. While he recognizes that he miraculously alive through his personification of a dead body‚ his state is far from acceptable

Henry‚ a neurosurgeon who has no love for literature‚ nonetheless describes parts of the brain (which he would know by heart) with figurative language he claims to not understand. The use of free indirect discourse‚ therefore‚ resembles interior monologue and shows that the narration is frequently solipsistic in nature (Gauthier 9). This solipsistic nature reveals the challenge which anyone faces who seeks to step outside of their own world to get to know the other. Although‚ Perowne is unable to

Interior Monologue This is really scary. I don’t even really understand how we got here. I don’t even know why we are here. It seems like we’re on an island‚ but I don’t think I’m going to have fun. I want to leave and go home because I’m scared. I’m with other boys my age‚ but we’re all so small‚ I don’t think we can do much. There must be older boys here too‚ but they probably won’t even care about us. We’re too young for them to care. They’ll probably let us get lost. I’m scared. All of a sudden

First came the pride‚ an overwhelming sense of achievement‚ an accomplishment due to great ambition‚ but slowly and enduringly surged a world of guilt and confusion‚ the conscience which I once thought diminished‚ began to grow‚ soon defeating the title and its rewards. Slowly the unforgotten memories from that merciless night overcame me and I succumbed to the incessant and horrific images‚ the bloody dagger‚ a lifeless corpse. I wash‚ I scrub‚ I tear at the flesh on my hands‚ trying desperately
