    Once tell-tale signs of arson began to reveal themselves to fire investigators Vasquez and Fogg, the investigation quickly turned on Willingham. Without further analysis, Willingham is branded as a prime suspect to a crime which possibly isn’t a crime at all, setting forth a system that sets him up for doom. After the detectives followed the burn trailer to a “V” that describes the start of the fire, the detectives solidify their opinion of the situation as “Vasquez later testified that multiple origins pointed to one conclusion: the fire was ‘intentionally set by human hands’” (Grann, “Trial by Fire”). What makes the situation grimmer to investigators was the fact that a “fire barrier” was formed, essentially trapping everyone inside the home once a fire starts.

Pleasantville is a great demonstration of the dangers of abiding by society’s expectations, and the freedoms that come with rebelling to these expectations and embracing change. Gary Ross uses several literary techniques such as; colour (symbolism), and character development to indicate the lack of creativity, and originality in society. Throughout the film, Ross illustrates how obstructive conformity can be to society, and how rewarding rebelling to societal norms can be for not only self growth, but societal advancement as well.

  • Examples Of Suspense In A Rose For Emily

    710 Words  | 3 Pages

    “A Rose for Emily” is a unique short story that keeps the reader guessing even though its first sentence already reveals the majority of the content. William Faulkner’s “A Rose for Emily” is the epitome of a work that follows an unconventional plot structure and a non-linear timeline, but this method of organization is intentional, as it creates suspense throughout the story. William Faulkner’s “A Rose for Emily” follows an unusual plot structure, which creates an eccentric application of suspense to a short story. Throughout the story, there are no clear indications of standard plot structure in each section, such as intro, climax, and denouement. Instead, there are sections, which are not in chronological order, that describe a particular conflict or event, which in turn creates suspense, as each conflict builds upon each other to make the reader question the overall context and organization of the story.

  • The Theme Of Isolation In Previous Condition And Sonny's Blues By James Baldwin

    2048 Words  | 9 Pages

    In fiction, the narrator controls how the audience connects to and perceives the various characters in a story. A good author can manipulate the narration to connect the audience to certain characters and deepen the reader’s understanding of their conflicts. In “Previous Condition” and “Sonny’s Blues,” James Baldwin illustrates themes of loneliness and isolation in the pursuit of finding a space that feels like home. Although this theme is clear in both stories, Baldwin is able to portray it very differently in each story through the relationship he allows the reader to the characters struggling with these feelings. While “Previous Condition” provides a more intimate relationship to the narrator, “Sonny’s Blues” is able to deliver an additional level of understanding by telling the story through Sonny’s brother, therefore disconnecting the reader in a way that forces him or her to share the characters’ feelings of isolation and confusion.
