Plot & Settings

When an author of a novel adds enough significant details to the story it helps the reader to be placed in the setting in which the story is taken place. In "Three Girls" the story starts out with specific details of where the story is taking place.

As I was reading "A Rose for Emily" I was wondering whether or not the story would have a better impact if it was told in first person. Would the readers want to know what she was thinking as she bought the Arsenic from the druggist? Or would the reader want to stay left out of the open so they don't know what will happen next. I personally liked the way things were kept secretive and not told because it made you wonder what was really going on in Emilys head. It came to a surprise when they said that she had died because they said she wasn't ill and no one had any information as to what had happened. I was confused as to what happened at the end. They found a long gray hair coming from her nose but i wasn't sure if this was symbolizing her death because of age or something else.

In my personal opinion, characters make a book. If characters can't relate to the reader. The reader won't be interested in the readings.

Tarzan, although may seem fictional, may also relate to the "beast" in yourself. But at the same time make you wonder how would you deal if you were in a situation where you had to choose your family that you grew up with and know and between a new family that is unknown to you. We all face obstacles and how we deal depends on what we know and how we respond. We learn these through the societies we were brought up in and it builds your own personal character.
