Narrative Analysis: Shoeless Joe I. Plot The plot is pretty straight forward‚ however‚ it can be complicated at times; since Ray is the narrator‚ he tells the story‚ but he interjects his own memories and thoughts throughout the story. I believe that certain aspects of the plot could be seen as realistic‚ but overall the genre of the novel is fiction. The book is divided five parts‚ which makes it more convenient to distinguish the important events of the novel and also the traditional plot

Poe’s Devices for Heightening the Effect of Terror and Horror in Short Stories (Martynova Ann) Edgar Allan Poe‚ an American poet‚ critic and writer of the XIX-th century‚ is a world- recognised master of the horror genre.

’’It is not what an author says‚ but what he or she whispers that is important’’‚ this is a quote written by Logan Pearsall Smith. The meaning of this quote is that what matters is what the author implies not the literal meaning. My opinion is to agree with Logan Pearsall Smith’s quote. In the next two paragraphs I will discuss how the quotation pertains to the examples I have chosen in "The Devil and Tom Walker" by Washington Irving‚ and "The Fall of the House of Usher" by Edgar Allen Poe.
