How The Use Of The Diary Form Narrative Is Beneficial To The Novel Dracula.
.... Mina's diary was not open
to the reader, or if Someone was telling of what he or she saw, the observation
could be false and the reader would lose valuable information that would be
valuable to the whole plot of the book.

Huck Finn's Use Of The Tall Tale
.... Huck's tall tales are used for the survival of both Huck and
Jim, and Jim knows this.
Huck's stories are usually believed, but even when doubted, he manages

he is caught as a stow-away on a raft and his original story is not believed by
the crew: "Now, looky-here, you're scared, and so you talk wild. Honest, now,
do you live in a scowl, or is it a lie?" (106). Huck then changes his story
just enough to make it believa .....

Jane Eyre: Imagery
.... concedes to him by calling him sir, even after they begin to
have an intimate relationship. At one point, she even goes so far as to excuse
herself for thinking. She says, "I was thinking, sir (you will excuse the idea;
it was involuntary), I was thinking of Hercules and Samson with their charmers"
(p.289). This statement possibly begins to suggests Janes unsatisfaction with
Rochester's position of complete dominance in their relationship. To Jane,
Rochester embodies the idea of love which she has so .....

Is Huck Finn Too Mature?
.... other boys of his age with the
introduction of Tom Sawyer. Tom is always thinking of amazing plans and
activities. In contrast, Huck's ideas are sensible and well thought out. This
fact shows that Twain made his own character superior in a way to the others,
giving him a practical edge on situations. Huck is definitely superior to other
boys of his age, but it may not be just his intelligence. Also, Huck has a
tendency to confide in the way things are rather than looking for a deeper
meaning. This as .....

Their Eyes Were Watching God: Janie Crawford

Joe, Janie loses her self-consciousness because she becomes like a little kid
being told what to do by an adult, Joe. She does it without even questioning
herself, which is why I think that she loses the part of her voice that she has
discovered by running away from Logan. At times, she has enough courage to say
no to Joe, but he always has something to say back that discourages Janie from
continuing her argument. But, in my opinion, Janie does not lose her will to
find herself and it mig .....

Jem's Journal: Chapter Summary

Atticus, I'd be the one who would have to take care of her and that wouldn't go
