However, “that which is changed can be changed back in the fullness of time” (Ysabel, 504). In Guy Gavriel Kay’s novel Ysabel, the effect of change is a key element to the story as the main protagonist, 15 year old Ned marriner, experiences a myriad of dangerous and mystery-packed adventures that draws him in deeper into a story world; in search for his father, Edward Marriner’s, assistant Melanie who has been possessed by the spirit of Ysabel during the eve of Beltaine(201)—along with two other…

It’s so easy to make up an elaborate tale and then project that onto the person who will standing across the ring from you. I’ve done it. There have been countless times were I’ve painted my opponents as the villain in my story. It gave me sufficient fuel to battle until all that self-manufactured hatred ran out. Then in the heart of the storm I would reach down and nothing was left. I’d worn myself out by trying so hard to hate for no reason at all that I did not have the…

difficult situations. It acts as something to open a reader’s eyes. It shows that the happy ending or movie-like love story is fake. Things get in the way of love, which can bring you further and further apart, regardless if people love each other or not. This is a good read for others, because it provides a wake up call in a fun, gripping, and adventurous story. A good way to look at the story as you read is to note the extremely descriptive vocabulary and find the definitions. Also, note key…

natural. That is exactly what I did, I persevered and was able to submit a complete story. “Keep your head held high” I was told as I walked out of the room with a frown on my face. I had successfully written a story that contained a beginning, middle, and end; but it was not a story that I was proud of. The dramatic event that I wrote about was a car crash and an infant female who died. I believed that the story was not creative enough and that the judges would not enjoy…

Ulises. The narrator is not a separate character in the story but tells the story of all of the characters together. “Eréndira, who was keeping in step with the donkey, bowed down by the heat and dust, did not reproach her grandmother for her figures, but she had to hold back tears” (García Márquez 297). The narrator does not only know the story of Eréndira but also knows about her thoughts and feelings, which a separate character in the story would not be aware. García Márquez is able to show…

and her true identity. Tris begins as a small, weak and confused girl, but then changes completely, “It will require a great act of selflessness to choose Abnegation, and a great act of courage to choose Dauntless.” (pg. 37). Throughout the entire story, Tris is always wondering if she made the right choice, or if this is where she truly belongs. She feels as if she does not fit anywhere, and fitting in is a big struggle, considering that she is divergent. Although there may be times where she…

In my opinion, I think “The Perfect Storm” is a more compelling story. I believe this because it goes into a lot more detail than “The Wreck of the Hesperus”. The Perfect Storm’s structure also made the story very easy to read. I personally think a story is easier to read than a poem. The story has real events that makes you want to know if actual people survive. The story is about real life or death situations making the story more interesting. The first reason “The Perfect Storm” was more…
