very confusing way. The reader has to be actively reading the story or you will miss something which I did the first time reading through it. I was lost until I got to the end and understood the way the author structured the story. I was challenged as a reader at times because the story was written out of order on purpose. Being written the way it was‚ the story gets a more interesting edge and pulls the reader in‚ it intrigued me a lot. After reading it a second time the reader can see that certain

whether she has ever thought about removing the birthmark on her cheek. She cheerfully says no but grows serious when she realizes that he asked the question seriously. Many people have told her the mark is a charm‚ and she has always thought maybe they were right. Aylmer says‚ because her face is almost perfect‚ any mark is shocking. Georgiana is angry at first‚ and then she weeps‚ asking “how he can love her if she is shocking to him”(Hawthorne pg. 1). Aylmer obsesses about the birthmark. For him‚ it

The Time Machine by H.G. Wells was a very thought provoking novel with an intriguing flow of events in the form of a story. Wells’s original intent for the book was to prove a dull point and put it in an interesting form‚ but it turned into something much more. I thought it was a great story packed with interesting characters and an entertaining plot Wells does a good job on clarifying the meaning of events or people just as your curiosity peaks. He really shows what is symbolic in the story by

Wheat. One could infer from this quote that some writers write not just for the enjoyment derived from it‚ but rather out of a feeling of obligation to let readers hear what they may have to say. Ngugi’s message that he feels obligated to convey is delivered‚ however‚ he uses a very unusual writing technique to arrive there.

It seems to me‚ though‚ that the book is very focused on symbolism. The symbol of mockingbirds is reoccurring in the book. It appears in the title‚ it is suggested in various characters and situations‚ and in parts of the book it is stated explicitly. For example‚ on page 90‚ Atticus told Scout and Jem

1) The language is magnificent. For a reader such as myself‚ who likes to get lost in tangential thoughts mid-sentence‚ Conrad offers a warm bath we can soak in. I often just let the sentences flow over me in waves of color and music (I usually read Faulkner this way too)‚ but if I want to stop and extract all the meaning from one of his dense little beauties I just pull the golden ribbon and what appears to be a knot of words opens up nicely. I have tried unraveling some of Faulkner’s and McCarthy’s
