Commendable Story Paradiso Reader
588 wordsParadiso is not easy to enjoy. It is an alliance between difficulty and controversy. It is a narration of Dante's so called visit to heaven, which seems tangible to no one but him. He slowly gives us his perceived account while inserting an archive of philosophical tidbits, which often divert the reader's attention from the supposed plot. Dante claims himself gifted and says that all his said experiences are ones that he encountered first-hand. And so the reader is assumed to believe that the au...

End Of The Book Main Character
892 wordsThe Bluest Eye is a complex book. Substance wise it is a disturbing yet relatively easy read, but Toni Morrison plays with the narrative structure in a way so that complexity is added to the hidden depth of the text. From the beginning to the end of the book, the author takes the reader through a series of point of views that take turns in narrating the story. But by the end of the book, the author leaves the reader unclear on who the actual main character of the book is. Pecola Breedlove, altho...

Catcher In The Rye Point Of View
505 wordsIf you really want to hear about it, The Catcher in the Rye would be quite different in its message if told from a point of view other than Holden Caulfield. Holden s questionable instability / personality would not be fully addressed, the book would lose much of its bulk, and it would end up having a totally different story line. Narrator, Holden, exposes himself allowing the reader to see precisely what kind of guy he is. Although the question of his normality is often argued, the train of con...

Edgar Allan Poe Modern Critical Views
1,244 wordsThe short story writer which I have chosen to research is Edgar Allen Poe. After reading one of his works in class, I realized that his mysterious style of writing greatly appealed to me. Although many critics have different views on Poe's writing style, I think that Harold Bloom summed it up best when he said, Poe has an uncanny talent for exposing our common nightmares and hysteria lurking beneath our carefully structured lives. (7) For me, this is done through his use of setting and narrative...

End Of The Story Poe Short
560 wordsthis is done through his use of setting and narrative style. In many of Poe's works, setting is used to paint a dark and gloomy picture in our minds. I think that this was done deliberately by Poe so that the reader can make a connection between darkness and death. For example, in the Pit and the Pendulum, the setting is originally pitch black. As the story unfolds, we see how the setting begins to play an important role in how the narrator discovers the many ways he may die. Although he must re...
