Jeanette Wintersin’s text Written on the body the role of the ungendered narrator is a highly subversive narrative strategy that serves to challenges traditional gender binarisms that exist as a perversive element within the phallogocentric ideologies of the West. I shall explore how Winterson engages with this task by positing ‘gender’ as unimportant in the construction of individual subjectivity. Secondly‚ the ungendered narrator challenges the phallogocentric assumption of heteronormativity through

I begin reading Bookmarks by Rebecca McClanahan in a room dimly lit by fairy lights. It’s around 6:30 in the afternoon and the sun is setting for the rest of the day.

Another event that made it seem as if the children were playing a game is when Wendy says Aaron’s name‚ out loud and the narrator said “she’d broken one of the rules” (Sher 116). Another thing that shows human condition in this story is making a game out of situations. The children a lot of times would just get up and run from the well as if he was coming to get them. “We

since the person whom I believe is successful in their life is my best friend from Texas‚ Rebecca Herring.

One of the major themes in the book Rebecca is the narrator’s search to establish her identity. Du Maurier establishes this theme from the very beginning by maintaining the narrator’s anonymity‚ as only Maxim knows the narrator’s name. The quest for the narrator to find her true identity is simply the whole subject of the book Rebecca. In the beginning‚ the narrator seems to be lost in the world. She works as a companion for a rich and ignorant woman. Then she meets the man she will marry named

The first crucial statement

The Warbler The creator of any diary may say he or she is only recording day-to-day life; but in many cases‚ the writings have more than one purpose. In The Kagero Diary‚ the unnamed narrator begins her story differently than most diarists. Not only is she speaking to an audience she presumes would be listening‚ her outlook on the life she leads is quickly placed into a negative category. Occurring in the third part of her diary‚ a poem is written that I believe significantly portrays her inner
