Writing Analysis - The Bartimaeus Trilogy Throughout The Bartimaeus Trilogy, Jonathan Stroud incorporates many different unique writing styles that enhances the reader’s understanding of the characters, and the setting. Some of these many styles include footnotes, many diverse points of view, multiple narrators, and much more. Even some of the character’s themselves would introduce different styles so that we could follow along easier and learn more about that character. While reading the book, I began to understand what the many characters were going through, and how they interacted with the setting around them.

We are as human in the 21st century enjoy significant advancement in technology and culture compare to the last century. One of our newest exploitation is the venturing into artificial intelligence, also known as AI. From the Siri on IPhone to the Cortana of window phone, we are toying with the concept of putting AI into our daily interaction. It's an exciting idea. But little known to us, the idea of AI has been around for a long time. It exists in movies, video games, books, and magazines. One…

The New York Trilogy by Paul Auster is a page-turner to say the least. The surprising ride Auster delivered covers a range of literary and critical topics. I expected it to more or less follow the expectable twists, turns, and general direction of the genre I believed it to take part in. What I got was something different. It seems to me like in all three trilogies, “City of Glass”, “Ghost”, and the final trilogy “Locked room”. All have a similarity of losing someone. In the first trilogy “City…

1. Jonathan Maberry, the author of award-winning book Rot and Ruin, writes this story in a very eye-captivating way including interesting character development and plot through the theme of “Sometimes you have to be the change you want to see”. The story starts off with the protagonist, Benny, hating his brother, Tom, for his cowardly appearance in his first memory of his parents and the zombie-infested, ruin, outside of the encumbrance of the fence. As the story progresses Benny must find a job…

Throughout City of Glass, the identities of characters, and even the author, are unclear. The protagonist, Daniel Quinn, embarks on solving a mystery for his unknown employer, but as the plot unfolds, he becomes increasingly unsure of his own identity. Thus, while Auster initially presents his novel as a work of mystery focused on the secrets of the Stillman family, his novel ultimately tackles the uncertainty of identity. Tim O’Brien similarly writes In the Lake of the Woods as a seemingly…

Cyndi Lauper’s Kinky Boots Review - Royal Alexandra Located at the Royal Alexandra Theatre, Kinky Boots, directed by Jerry Mitchell, is a show that will make you want to get out of your seat and dance. Music and lyrics written by Cyndi Lauper and the book was written by Harvey Fierstein. There were many hidden messages in this performance, and it had a mixture of themes such as romance, and comedy and there were some surprising emotional parts. Kinky Boots is about a boy named Charlie…

In the nature of men the desirer to do good is necessarily for the good of others. It’s somewhat appropriate to desirer good in any situations with a clear purpose. Having absolute power isn’t a bad thing to over come the enemies in battle. It great to know the outcome before it take place, but the desirer to have power can be side tact in Tolkien reading. The lord of rings displays some interesting tale of corruption with great power. It gives examples of the temptation throughout the reading…

His love for his home country is displayed on the film as he beautifully captures the nature and its scenery. Raised in Pukerua Bay, Jackson “developed a love of films as a child, and was inspired by the adventures he would have in and around his home, which he called an ‘adventure playground’” (“Sir Peter Jackson”, n.d.). In making The Lord of the Rings trilogy, Jackson shows his perfectionism. The Hobbiton set in New Zealand is a good example of his perfectionist character. This beautiful set…

The Battle of Middle Earth: The Hobbit verses The Lord of the Rings Two great classic novels are The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit. Both of these are amazing books that teach of courage, faithfulness, and friendship. However, when there are two things in discussion, one usually edges out the other. The Lord of the Rings is more captivating because of the importance of the Fellowship, the differences in the battles, and how the characters are portrayed. One of the most important things…
