Book Report On Gods Bits Of Wo
... a "cinematic" quality in its emphasis on visual imagery, setting, and action. The opening descriptions of place (Bamako) and person (Niakoro) are typical. So is the set-up for "Thiès: The City" on page 13. Note, as well, how the narrative seems to "pan" the market place on pages 15 and 16. The large number of characters and the way the setting moves from place to place may pose some difficulty, but they're fairly simple to sort out. The map helps with places. Making lists of characters associated with each town helps, as well.
The action takes place in several locations (an interesting filmic term)--primarily in Ba ...

The Great Gatsby: A Full Spectrum Of Character
... Great Gatsby is merely a classic American tragedy,
portraying the story of a man's obsession with a fantasy, and his resulting
downfall. However, Fitzgerald seems to weave much more than that into the
intricate web of emotional interactions he creates for the reader. One
interesting element is the concepts of greatness each has. For Daisy, it lies in
material wealth, and in the comfort and security associated with it. Daisy seems
to be easily impressed by material success, as when she is touring Gatsby's
mansion and seems deeply moved by his collection of fine, tailored shirts. It
would seem that Tom's relative weal ...

pack for a trip around the world. Throughout the entire novel the reader is
informed of all the peculiar habits of Fogg that Passepartout had to support.
My least favorite character is Fix the detective. He followed Fogg

Green Grass: Lionel Red Dog
... loses his job.
This, in a way, is very similar to what happened to AIM (American
Indian Movement) some years back. The natives were upset about the
Government's neglect of treaties and grants. The natives held a peaceful
rally in a town, then they all packed up, and moved it to Wounded Knee.
Wounded Knee was the sight of a terrible massacre in the late
1800's. The Natives were traveling to a neighboring camp, when soldiers
came upon them, and "captured" the natives. The natives were asked to give
up all weapons, and a misunderstanding led the soldiers to believe there
was a resistance. The soldiers opened fire on ...
