Saki's "The Interlopers": Plot Analysis
... to give full play to the
passions of a lifetime. But a man who has been brought up under the code
of a restraining civilization cannot easily nerve himself to shoot down his
neighbor in cold blood and without a word spoken, except for an offense
against his hearth and honor." (p. 44) Just as both are about to shoot, a
tree branch from above crashes upon the men. The feeling of suspense flees,

The reader feels immense sympathy for the situation: how many times in
one's own life has a mere squabble gotten out of control and wrecked

Allegory In Young Goodman Brown
... is also talking to his "faith" to God. He is venturing into the woods to meet with the Devil, and by doing so, he leaves his unquestionable faith in God with his wife.

Lord Of The Flies: Golding Reduces The Power Of His Message
... and the `darkness of man's heart' would not have been conveyed to the reader. Jack shows `the darkness' and if he and Ralph had just been friends, there would never have been an opportunity for Jack to show this darkness which lurked beneath the surface.
Golding also uses the dead pilot conveniently against the boys - the way in which he is caught in the trees just in the right position to be caught by the wind and look like the beast and the way the wind picks up after Simon has let him down from the trees and carries him out to sea, so that the other boys cannot see that it wasn't a beast. The author uses the boy ...

life time, they will encounter a number of people and experiences that will
arouse enough emotion in them to have the power to change their direction
in life. St. John Rivers plays one of these life determining foils to Jane
Eyre. His confidence, devotion and reason intrigue Jane almost enough to
silence her inner passionate spirit , but it is the forces of nature that
prove to be stronger than human will.
The life path of a Victorian woman was somewhat limited in it's
direction and expression of individuality. Jane Eyre strongly adheres to
the Victorian morality which was dominated by t ...

Rattle Bone
... writing method by mentioning the name October Brown, partly because Brown is involved at the beginning and towards the end of the book. Ms. Brown became an important part of Irene’s life, not only by being one of the main reasons for her parents’ divorce, but also by helping Irene accomplish one of her goals. The time that occurred between these two events in the book connects Rattlebone and is a very good use of foreshadowing. Another example of Clair’s use of this writing method is the experience of the divorce between Irene’s parents. This long-term process displayed Irene’s p ...
