Halloween is days away. Although both stories had their differences‚ they are similar because they both incorporate the concept of skeletons in an unusual frightening way. Personally‚ I enjoyed ‘’Skeleton’’ more than ‘’It!’’ because of the uncommon way Bradbury uses a human skeleton to frighten its readers‚ whereas ‘’It!’’ was a traditional short horror story. However‚ I enjoyed the supernatural element ‘’It’’ incorporated to its plot. The idea of a large monstrous plant that’s curious and killing everything

New Criticism VS Reader-Response Criticism What is more accurate‚ new criticism or reader response criticism?

Let’s get this straight first. I actually applaud Malcolm Gladwell for writing his book Outliers. His theories throughout the book touched ideas that I wouldn’t even begin to think about or question. He gave support for his theories and spent a lot of time describing occurrences that seemed to prove them (as you can guess I’m a bit skeptical about some). I actually enjoyed reading once I got myself to actually focus and read. You see‚ it’s not the type of book that you don’t want to put down;

I am delving into the complex and semiotic nature of deconstruction critism as a lens for the book Persepolis. I will be analyzing how the creators own words twist back against them‚ and gainsay what they previously said. I will use this lens is unearth the binary opposition of values or aphorisms in this book. I will overturn all manifestations of hypocrisy in all discourses from viewpoints on religion‚ and society to gender roles and sex. My credibility comes from my years of experience of deconstructing

“The Tempest is more than romance‚ for its characters exceed the roles of villains and heroes‚ some of them becoming villains and heroes…The Tempest belongs not only to the world of romance‚ but also to the period of colonialism‚ written as it was in the early stages of the European exploration and conquest of the New World” (Mowat and Werstine).

The School of Psychoanalytic Criticism “The Cask of Amontillado” and its author Edgar Allan Poe are excellent references for applying psychoanalytic interpretations to an author and his work. Psychoanalytic criticism uses a Freudian theory of a three level psyche‚ the ego‚ the super-ego‚ and the id to gain a better understanding of the deeper or hidden meaning within literature and an understanding of the psychological identity of the author‚ the characters or the reader. Freud theorized that
