The writer, when he fails to alter a figurative reality, resorts to the fictional verity of the author. This truth thence dissolves in the social reader and integrates with the growing dream.

Thus, this father inspires his children to desist from converging, when they regard themselves the streams that debouch; and they find their commensurate way. However,

A character is only able to perceive as much as he or she understands about the world, as his or her worldview is clouded by weakness and flaws.…

    The essay “What is Real,” Alice Munro discusses a question that she hears frequently from people in her hometown who believe that they seem real elements of the world that they recognize in her fictional stories, and are bothered by how those real elements seem bastardized or perverted by her seemingly intentional misrepresentation of them.

It is like an essay…

    First, Franz Kafka’s “Letter to His Father” goes into depth of the rough childhood Kafka experienced and how that turned him into a timid and fearful person. Since he and his father have so many sharp differences, Kafka can not connect and understand his father which installs fear in him and “this fear and it’s consequences hamper [him] in relation to [his father],” (Kafka, Letter to Father,” 200,1). The fear he has for his father blocks him from whatever relationship he could established with him. Instead of allowing his fear to control him, if Kafka would stop to think of things through his father’s perspective, he might be able to see and understand that the things his father say are neither irrational nor extraordinary. Next, due to his parents having several children, they understand that the key to a child’s success is good discipline.…
