Grendel And His Mother Seamus Heaney
932 wordsThe poem Beowulf, translated by Seamus Heaney, is largely based around the monstrousness of Grendel and his mother. It was a difficult task for Heaney to translate the poem into Modern English while maintaining the beauty of the language and capturing the horror of the monsters. He utilises devices such as structure, literary devices and characterisation to emphasise the fear apparent in the text.

Convey Aboriginal Issues Play Much Of A Role Aborigines
740 wordsBefore we look at whether James Moloney effectively uses characterisation to convey Aboriginal issues we must look at the issues themselves. In Dougy, the issue of black and white prejudice is strongly present in the plot. The stereotyping of Aborigines and white Europeans play an important role in the events and the outcome of the story, as is individuality and the breaking of the stereotypes.

Reader Get Inside Letting A Reader Get Inside Wells
1,019 wordsFirstly, dramatic tension is a literary device designed to provoke fear, suspense or excitement in a reader.

Main Characters Popular Culture
1,779 wordsIdoru by william gibson is nothing less than an awe-inspiring book for me. no other author that i have come across can inspire one to recreate visions of reality at the turn of every page. Gibsons books are all compelling; neuromancer (1984) needing perhaps a special mention; as this book single handedly created the cyberpunk genre, aswell as coining phrases such as cyberspace. However, as one of his later works (1996), we are able to find within Idoru's more contemporary exploration of our worl...
