    • 1578 Words
    • 7 Pages

    One of the greatest mysteries to this day is the mystery of the Stonehenge. Archaeologists trace the Stonehenge to the year 3100 B.C, but back then the invention of the wheel was unheard of. The stones in which the Stonehenge was made out of seemed to originate in the Wales which are 160 miles away from the Stonehenge.

The druids continue looking at the sky, and suddenly all of them start simultaneously praying. The wind rushes faster and faster forming a faster whirlwind around the three they continue and start hitting the ground harder…

    As it was discussed above, Emma’s world is presented through Emma’s eyes, and “the narrative tracks Emma’s attention as it moves between different groups in the various Highbury drawing-rooms” and “the narration of overhearing” allows readers to follow several events (Wiltshire 2014: 130). This kind of narration enables Jane Austen not only to narrate the two strands of her plot concurrently, but also through syntactical means to evoke the physical setting in which such overhearing can plausibly…
