He raced around the room frantically, collecting his things all while shouting at Elora. The woman sat in bed, pouting, her arms crossed over her naked bosom. “Get the fuck out of my bed, will you?” bellowed Perceval, nearly apoplectic with rage, as he yanked up his trousers and slipped his feet into his boots.…

For instance, the writers reveal truths that we are often oblivious to, we can also see the perspective of others, as well as learning from exemplary figures, and we often learn from the mistakes others make.

In the graphic novel Darkroom: A Memoir in Black & White written by Lila Quintero Weaver, the events that transpire are an example of this knowledge and perspective that we acquire just from reading it.…

These challenges, in addition to the lessons, have brought upon stress, anxiety, and even depression into my life. They have made me question myself to the point of insanity, avoid meeting and accepting new people into my life, and even fail to uphold the bonds I had previously made with both relatives and peers. However, I cannot be defined and bound to the “single story” of my anxiety. There are many more complex stories that represent me even more adequately than the ones that correspond to the struggles I’ve faced; as there are many more stories significant to other various people, places and things…

    In this extract Charlotte creates a Negative atmosphere that surrounds the Red Room. Bronte uses a variety of devices and techniques to highlight the atmosphere of the room in which Jane is thrown into for misbehaving.
