Some examples of this would be the characters Jacob, Emma, and Miss Peregrine. The protagonist in the book is Jacob Portman. Jacob is a 15 year old boy who works at his mother’s store, helps out his grandfather, and goes to school like a typical person. Seems ordinary, right? Well, when his…

Highbrow literature often contains repeating symbols and characters meant to represent something deeper than what seems on the surface. These symbols provide connections for the reader which demonstrate profound themes. In his novel Crime and Punishment, Fyodor Dostoevsky elaborates on the myth of the “hero”.

Recently, soap operas and dramas, including Coronation Street and EastEnders, regularly win plaudits for their sympathetic depictions of people with conditions such as bipolar disorder and depression (Goodchild, 2015). According to Goodchild (2015) the research and findings from the Glasgow Media Group…

into the spy business after his uncle, who was a spy, dies. He is sent to a millionaire's home and manufacturing plant to check a few things out for M16. The setting of the story is in London, England, where M16 is stationed. This affects the main character because he is headed to look over something at Port Talon and at the end of the book he has to find a way back to London before Herod Sayle, the man who he is investigating, gets there.
