Very Exciting Novel
463 wordsLord of the Flies Analysis The novel Lord of the Flies written by William Golding was a very exciting novel. It wasn t the plot that made the novel interesting; it was the personalities of the characters. The genre is science fiction and the mood is very dark and cold. The writing style of William Golding was very interesting. He skipped around often and used words and terms that were hard to understand. The atmosphere showed a lot of confusion and ruthlessness. The novel begins with a plane cra...

Most Frustrating Novel
764 wordsAt its best, James Baldwin's fiction is lyrical, intense, poetic, outrageous, improvisatory, brutal, and transcendent. The first time I read his short story, 'Sonny's Blues,' I was sitting in one of those massive chain bookstores, drinking coffee and trying to block out the pabulum coming from the Muzak. Imagine my surprise when I suddenly found myself choking back tears. The last three pages of 'Sonny's Blues' are as good as it gets: Sonny breaks into a blistering piano solo, finally finding a ...

Ending And The Plot Of The Novel
709 wordsOne of the first signs in the novel of the impending doom Ishmael will face is the name of the owner of the Spouter Inn: Coffin? Spouter? Rather ominous in that particular connexion, thought I (18). The chapel where people were worshipping the dead and the two trees that looked like a gallows near the Try-Pots Inn add to the mounting number of signs telling Ishmael to back away. However, Ishmael is an educated man; despite these rather peculiar premonitions, he will not be deterred from his cour...

Plot Of A Barth Novel
823 wordsHe's showboating again... Coming Soon! John Barth Atlantic Books 14.99, pp 448 Calling John Barth self-conscious is about as helpful as calling Kafka odd. The highly wrought games and puzzles of the postmodern novel Barth helped invent are already self-parodic. Barth writes double-helix narratives in which 'the tangled tango' of life and art always threatens to spiral dizzily out of control. The plot of a Barth novel is never easy to summarise, because writing is the story: 'process as content,'...
