Example of Narrative Essay

For me, Black Rain is just another prime example of why I consider Ridley Scott to be a mixed bag as a Director. Sure he’s definitely made some classics like Blade Runner, Alien, and Gladiator but other films that I’ve seen in Scott’s filmography (Robin Hood, Exodus, and G.I. Jane) seems like he gets so caught up into creating visual atmospheres (especially in this one) to the point of where he loses focus on maintaining a genuine plotting or narrative.

particular emotions in the reader. Kathryn Olsen wrote, “Faulkner populates his novels with often inscrutable characters, who attack their project of narration obliquely” (1). This is especially true when reading Darl’s oddly poetic thoughts. For example, Darl thinks to himself, “And when you are emptied for sleep, you are not. And when you are filled with sleep, you never were” (Faulkner 80). In this excerpt, Faulkner uses repetition and strange sentence structure to show Darl’s abstract…

film takes into account the culture and national characteristics that influence how a narrative is filmed. To understand and fully appreciate a film, one must understand the historical and cultural conditions that surround it. The writer must distinguish what makes a particular film different from those of another culture from the same time period (Corrigan, 2015). The Bicycle Thieves (De Sica, 1948) is an example of Italian neorealism which was popular for a short time after World War II.…

This paper will aim to consider and analyze these areas within the comic through the critical approach of narratology, with some assistance from the cognitive approach. First, let’s talk about our narrator. For most of the comic, our narrator is Suzie.…

nationalities, or religions, i.e. mice for Jews, perhaps to represent Jews as vermin, cats for Germans, to portray them as predatory and so on. Of course, the classic cat-and-mouse trope is another portrayal present in the text. These are clear examples of symbolism, albeit ones that takes away from the nonfictional aspect of the story, due to the overtly fantastical nature of including anthropomorphic animals. Additionally, the fact that this text is based on secondhand information leaves…
