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

The most controversial issue in this story is probably the Thomas Robinson trial. The entire town of Maycomb was involved in this trial‚ and each took sides. I am certain that Thomas was innocent because all of the evidence pointed back to the “victim” and her father. I am 100% certain that Thomas is innocent because the bruises on the victim‚ 19-year-old Mayella Ewell‚ could only have been caused by a left-handed person. Thomas‚ however‚ lost all mobility in his whole left arm after a cotton gin

Isabel Miranda Dineen Juventus August 28‚ 2014 John Smith as a Narrator John Smith is not a credible narrator because he is writing a third person narrative about himself; therefore there is not more than one perspective neither more than one point of view. This gives his writing a possibility of being subjective. One of the main reasons I believe that John Smith is not a credible narrator is because his point of views and perspectives are biased. This also brings up the possibility of him over

As shown throughout the story “The Tell Tale Heart” by Edgar Allen Poe‚ the unnamed narrator remains an unreliable narrator. Exemplified through his actions and thoughts‚ it is quite obvious the narrator is deranged and mentally unstable‚ proving the point he is an insane innocent as well as an unreliable source. He feels it is necessary to murder an old man he lives with due to his one blind eye. In addition‚ toward the end‚ he envisions the old man’s dead heart pulsing and beating‚ driving him

story is told in third-person point of view and this person knows everything. The narrator in this story is not a character directly involved in the story‚ and can see all of the characters‚ their thoughts‚ and intentions. Story is told in the future‚ sometime after 2022‚ after the US had survived two atomic bombs. The narrator is telling the story second-hand‚ never having met Montag in person. So‚ I think that the narrator is telling the story in Montag’s old age‚ or years after his death.

The Yellow Wallpaper written by Charlotte Perkins Gilman is a story in which the narrator remains unnamed throughout the entire novel. What we know about the narrator is that she is female‚ married to a man named John who is also her doctor‚ she is also suffering from either nervous depression or post-partum depression. The thing that is special about this novel is that the narrator is secretly writing all of this in her journal to express herself‚ since she is belittled to little to no activity

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

Robinson Crusoe is a certified novel by Daniel Defoe‚ written in 1719. But before going into my analysis of the novel‚ it is important to remind ourselves some certain things about the 18th century period. “One thing that is certain despite the controversy that has been generated by the period is that like every succeeding period‚ the 18th century marks a turning point in the literary development of English Literature. Arguably it was in the 18th century in England that literature ceased to be exclusive
