movies is guilt‚ whether criminal‚ political‚ moral‚ or metaphysical. This guilt concerning the Holocaust was discussed in terms of different groups of people‚ including the offenders‚ bystanders‚ or future generations of Germans. In Schlink’s The Reader (1995)‚ for instance‚ guilt is an integral topic for the book’s main characters and they wrestle with it decades after the Holocaust. However‚ in non-fictional accounts from survivors‚ I do not think that their intent is to discuss or imply guilt

After mentioning the list of good readers‚ Nabokov says that we need to really immerse ourselves into the book‚ and “we have no physical organ (as we have the eye in regard to a painting) that takes in the whole picture and then can enjoy its details. But at a second‚ or third‚ or fourth reading we do‚ in a sense‚ behave towards a book as we do towards a painting.” (7) He makes a reference to how paintings are easy to “fondle” over the details of. However‚ reading is considered an art in this context

LONG ESSAY Conventions of a prose text may‚ to some extent‚ control reader response to themes within the text but the reader’s context may also influence the way the text is read. It is particularly evident in Margaret Atwood’s novel The Handmaid’s Tale that by examining the experience of women within the world it is evident that women are more repressed. The characterisation of Offred may control reader response to theme because her own personal experiences are projected onto the reader. In Gilead

Although the actual motive for killing was different in each of the novels Perfume and Frankenstein‚ it seems there were a few underlying similarities in the events that led up to the each character becoming a serial killer. In spite of the fact that each novel is about the progression of the main character’s serial killings‚ I still believe there is a clear moral message present in both the novels. In the novel Perfume‚ Grenouille is a young man who grows up never knowing a sense of belonging

When comparing the levels of violence in Dexter to that of Natural Born Killers‚ I feel like the two are at polar opposite ends of the spectrum. Interestingly‚ both works feature a story line about a serial killer(s)‚ but the way in which they are presented are so completely differently that I am amazed at how different I can feel about the same subject matter (serial killers) all based on the presentation of the material. Take for instance the aspect of visual violence content in each production

David James Duncan’s A Mickey Mantle Koan Reader Response This essay was by far my favorite essay I’ve ever read. It really hit home with me because I have a brother that I am super close to and we spent a lot of our time as kids playing any sort of ball. I believe Duncan’s heartwarming essay was to alert people about the concept of searching for happiness in “the finer things” when for the most part; happiness can come from the simplest things. This was something that really hit home for me because
