Many literary devices are applied in the story as a way to improve the readers understanding and appreciation of the work. In “Eveline,” James Joyce uses flashbacks, motif, and conflict to convey the meaning of the short story. First, flashbacks are used consistently throughout the story.

The LRA is an example of my best work because it demonstrates mastery to specific standards. For instance, the literary response log demonstrates proficiency in the second reading standard.
