... that are important to the story. 'The Screenwriter's Bible' by David Trottier offers a good insight in script writing and story structure. It deals with the basic elements of a typical screenplay, and explains what it actually is that an audience craves. Many of the principles can and should be applied to any story whether a screenplay, theatric play, novel or short story. The play is much more predictable in the sense that a great many things are bound not to happen on stage. In fact nothing taking place outside Frank's office can be seen by the audience. All action is inevitably confined within these f ...

... and a saltwater stream.

A Separate Peace considers two conflicts: man against man and man against himself.

Misplaced jealousy, fear, love and hate fight for control of Gene's actions. When the dark side of him wins for a brief mom ...

... the street, and cannot ignore her presence. Throughout the story, the hermit complains about the "awful monster" and regards her as the "personification of evil." This is not the root of the problem however. The hermit's preoccupation with the prostitute served to destroy him, but unfortunately for him, the blame cannot be aimed at her. Throughout the middle of the passage, the hermit described the features of the prostitute with a particular contempt, yet he continued to look, even leer at her. He continued to think about what went on behind the closed doors, the men that waited around outside the house "smoki ...

... the theater and Maggie owns and runs an antique store. The Volink family were excited and amazed that they inherited a castle. But what the Volink’s did not know was that a spirit called a Boggart lived there. The Boggart is a sprit that is neither good or bad. He mainly plays practical jokes on people.

... yet innocent, character. Pearl's beauty and innocence are apparent from the time of her birth. Hawthorne describes Pearl's "innocent life [as] a lovely and immortal flower"(Hawthorne 81). Even though Pearl is a product of the "guilty passion"(81) between Hester and Dimmesdale, both her soul and her body are untainted and flawless. Hester notices that Pearl has no physical defects, but Pearl's character has an unexplainable aspect of oddity and unpredictability. When she plays near Hester's cottage, Pearl "[smites] down [and] uproot[s] most unmercifully [the] ugliest weeds"(87) which she pretends are t ...

... each book did little to alter the author's expressions and inclinations about religious beliefs. The Satanic Verses featured the modern day society compressing the main characters with their positronic rules and restrictions. The Last Temptation of Christ focused on the feudalism exhibited by the oppressors of the world at the current time (Roman militia). Upon the climatic ending of each novel, I would effortlessly integrate the author's deluge of spiritual dynamism with my own. This produced an ethical conflict in my mind that fought to distinguish what prominence God had maintained in my lifetime. I could s ...

... to be ridiculous. The following passage from page two will suffice to prove this point. Baron Thunder-ten-Tronckh passed near the screen and beholding this cause-and-effect chased Candide from the castle with great kicks on the backside; Cunegonde fainted away; she was boxed on the ears by the Baroness, as soon as she came to herself; and all was consternation in this most magnificent and most agreeable of all possible Castles (Candide 2) Voltaire is obviously ridiculing optimistic philosophy, especially that of Leibnitz for whom Pangloss was a follower. It seems as though Voltaire is condemming metaphysics and t ...
