Makes The Reader Make The Reader
1,430 words
One book I could and have read many times over is
Hannibal by the highly acclaimed thriller writer
Thomas Harris. This book is a stylish, smart
journey through the two relationships between
Hannibal Lecter and his counterparts Mason Verger
and Clarice Starling, its style of writing such
that it makes it very difficult to put down, I
speak from personal experience having read the 103
chapter book in a space of a few days, it was
extremely gripping and exiting. One of the thing
that most struck me...

Huck And Jim Duke And King
1,425 words
Human Nature: Exposed More than a century ago,
Mark Twain probably composed the single-most
important piece of American Literature to ever be
composed. This work, widely known as The
Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, essentially
follows young Huck on a series of adventures and
experiences with his close friend (and runaway
slave), Jim, as they both escape society's
burdens. The novel, in a sense, encompasses
everything good, bad and in between about and
concerning the society of that time. A major...

Hit And Run Serial Killers
880 words
This book, in Solo Solo This book, in my opinion,
is a very good example of a serial killer, and his
ironic demise. The book begins with an example of
serial killing, where a powerful, influential man
is killed by an assassin. The book, after the
killing, follows the killer to an unusual place-a
concert hall. There it is found that the killer is
internationally famous concert pianist John

death and pain all of his life. His family has

Tessie Hutchinson Lottery Quot
557 words
Slips of Fate In the short story " The
Lottery" by Shirley Jackson, the author uses
irony to expand on a theme of traditions that
continue although they are ludicrous and barbaric.
" Like a lamb to slaughter" comes to
mind for both the characters in this story and the
reader. The characters are honoring a tradition
that is handed down to them from former
generations. The reader is led through the
seemingly normal and quaint little village, and is
taken on a ride of ironic hor...

Wife Of Bath Devoted Christian Chaucer
256 words
In the medieval period when women were viewed as
property, held to sexual double standards and
considered to be little more than heir-makers,
Chaucer wrote a rather biting piece that draws
attention to the inequalities in standards for men
and women that were supported by society. This
might seem ironic coming from a man in this
period, but it is not so ironic when one looks at
the Canterbury Tales and acknowledges it as a fine
work of satire. Chaucer attacks other
long-standing traditions such ...

Wife Of Bath Tale

The Canterbury Tales, written by Geoffrey Chaucer
around 1386, is a collection of tale told by
pilgrims on a religious pilgrimage. Two of these
tales, ? The Knight? s Tale? and? The Wife of
Bath? s Tale? , involve different kinds of love

loves are based on nobility, some are forced, and
some are based on mutual respect for each partner.

each of the tales told in The Canterbury Tales.

People Of The Town Narrative Structure
1,030 words
Sometimes, evil surfaces from the most ordinary
and unpredictable everyday surroundings. This is
most apparent on the short story, The Lottery,
published in 1948, in which author Shirley Jackson
writes of a mysterious and barbaric tradition that
stems from seemingly ordinary town settings.
Coulthard describes the reason of continuing
appeal of The lottery is because of its nihilistic
undercurrent, and not the surface attack on
subservience to custom (The Explicator 226).

Portrait of the artist as a callow youth Youth JM
Coetzee 169 pp, Server Disgrace, JM Coetzee's last
novel, set a contemporary benchmark in good
fiction. Quite apart from winning him a second
Booker, it had an icy brilliance that showed up
the work of other novelists, peers and young
pretenders alike. By comparison many of us seem at
best technically defective, at worst expressive of
literary values he might consider pure
philistinism. Although the excuse was given of a

Single Man Good Fortune

A consistent and thought provoking novel, Jane
Austen s Pride and Prejudice combines irony and
wit to provide audiences with a comedic view of
human complexity. The first paragraph in this
novel consists only of a single sentence, but in
the few words used, Austen is able to present a
seemly strong and confident statement, only to use
clever dialog and description to reveal its irony
as the novel unfolds. Austen s use of irony allows
for insightful glances at character development,

and Prejudice, by Jane Austin, foreshadows the end
of the book. She writes, It is a truth universally
acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a
good fortune, must be in want of a good wife. At
first, readers would understand this in one way.

on a whole new meaning. At first this sentence
takes on an ironic meaning, because it is commonly

The Scarlet Letter The Scarlet Letter, by
Nathaniel Hawthorne, is a dark tale of sin and
redemption centered on a small Puritan community.
The setting may be approached in two ways in the
Scarlet Letter. One way is to look at the meaning
or emotional overtones of specific places. A
second and broader example is to examine the whole
Puritan world in which Hawthorne has set this
novel. The setting is in Boston, Massachusetts in
the 1640 s. The central themes of this novel are
guilt and hypocrisy. ...
