Rizal’s 1884 diary can be used as a tool to obtain more insight about Rizal’s life during his 20s and his personality towards school, his parents, and colleagues. A diary gives a first-hand experience to the readers of Rizal’s thoughts when faced with dilemma, difficult or happy events. This is true due to the reason that when one writes his or her own diary, he will not write with reservations but instead write what comes to mind and what he may be feeling during that time. Rizal’s diary makes…

Human personality naturally changes over time. Sometimes it is sudden but more often it is a gradual change. Character development is practically a must have of good fictional narrative writing. It usually happens gradually as it does in nature to make the writing realistic but Roald Dahl uses striking changes in character personality to create an incredibly intriguing character. Mary Maloney in the short story “Lamb to the Slaughter” by Roald Dahl experiences major, instantaneous…

Formulating an opinion out of a first impression is wrong, stopping to analyze things in depth can and will prove this. Della and Mathilde, respectively from the stories The Gift of the Magi and The Necklace, are, indeed, characters with very diverse characteristics overall. As someone proofreads the stories they seem to have quite different priorities and ways of achieving their goals. For such reason the tendency is to develop the idea that they are not alike at all. However, that's only a…

Quest for self Morrison begins the novel with reference to the "Dick and Jane" reading primer. As the story-progresses, Morrison repeats the passage from the primer, first without punctuation, then without spacing between the words. This shows that while the words remain the same in the passage, there are missing elements creating a dysfunction of sorts. This example carries over to the main text. The reader finds a family; mother, father, sister and brother, but key elements are missing. Father…

A theme can be defined as the psychoanalytical meaning of the work as it enables one to explore the work in depth. Furthermore, a theme allows an author to showcase their writing technique. In the “Metamorphosis” by Franz Kafka, the absurdity of life is one of the major themes in the novella. The absurdity of life shows how meaningless Gregor’s life is…

Classical Leadership Training and Development The three elements of ethical and emotional appeal as proposed by Aristotle include ethos, pathos, and logos. Martin Luther employed the three appeals in varying proportions to deliver his message of emancipation and peaceful resistance. To a certain extent, he favored the use of logos appeal in his “Letter from Birmingham Jail”. This is mainly because of the presence of direct logic and facts to support the arguments to increase their persuasive…

Flannery O’Connor produced a short story—one that almost allows the reader to have free admission into their own objective thoughts—titled “The Lame Shall Enter First” (1965). However, the 3rd person narration is interrupted an unsettling number of times by one of the main character’s biases; O’Connor cannot help but include Sheppard’s own thoughts and feelings throughout the tale. In these instances, the opportunity is lost for the reader to draw their own conclusions on the narrative’s events.…

To what extent do you agree with Jonathon Greenberg’s view that ‘Joe’s genealogical account of unreliability undercuts the very authority of his own intellectual position’? Refer to the whole novel and the critical anthology in your answer. The term ‘unreliable narrator’ refers to a narrator who is an ‘invariably invented character who is part of the stories they tell’, this therefore indicates how they are provide a first-hand point of view of the situations which take place. The term was first…
