Opening Chapter Hot Air
1,376 wordsA dictionary defines the word addictive as being: wholly devoted to something, a slave to another and in a state of wanting more. Ian McEwan claimed that he wanted to write an opening chapter that had the same effect as a highly addictive drug. In my opinion he has achieved in doing this. At the end of chapter one the reader is left needing more information about the characters introduced and what tragedy actually occurred. McEwan took the definition, addictive, and wrote the opening chapter, ne...

Nature Of Time Lost Child Mcewan
515 wordsAlthough most remembered for his earlier work, The Cement Garden, Mcewan's more recent work of fiction, A Child In Time, offers a very different perspective into the theme of childhood this time an adults understanding of a juvenile world. The novel has been highly critically acclaimed since its first publication, and despite its disjointed prose style and at times ambiguous thread of Mcewan's plot, it consistently proves a popular literary work nearly five years later. The book offers insight i...
