The first lens in this long write is author’s craft by finding goals and techniques in the book. The first place I saw this was when the author used the technique of description to accomplish the goal of introducing the characters. The evidence supporting that is when Johnny said “It was he who owned this great wharf, the ware houses, many of the ships tied up along it. He owned
If someone had the chance to create a character what strategies would him or her use to create that character? Victor Martinez’ autobiographical novel, Parrot in the oven, provides an excellent example of the use of writing strategies to create a character. Manny the narrator of this book is a 14-year-old boy who lives in home projects in California with his family including his dad and mom who are Mr. and Mrs. Hernandez, his older brother Nardo who’s full name is Bernardo, his older sister Magda, and his little sister Pedi.

Emotions are a key part of any book, most authors write books with the intent of eliciting a certain response or emotion. Sherwood Anderson is no different, every chapter in Winesburg, Ohio is written to provoke the reader to think about the obvious as well as the hidden ideas. Hands and Paper Pills both produce a similar feeling in the reader, this feeling is sympathy. The two characters Wing Biddlebaum and Doctor Reefy experience hardship in their life although this hardship is one the reader may not have experienced; it is difficult not to feel some sympathy for the two characters. While most readers will feel sympathy for both character which character they feel more sympathy towards may differ.

The narrator’s comedic yet depressing tone portrays Mr. Newman as an aged, experienced man with insecurity about his age with lines like “Mr. Newman’s bony old hand…” and “But he was the oldest person in the room.” Throughout the story the author conveys sympathy for Mr. Newman by taking caution when explaining Mr. Newman 's emotions and thoughts, and making the reader comprehend and possibly relate to his insecurities.

F. Scott Fitzgerald has a way of applying indirect characterization into his novels in order to enhance how he would like a character to be interpreted, especially in his 1925 novel The Great Gatsby. Take for example, two major characters in the story, Nick Carraway of Minnesota who moved to New York in order to get into the bond business and Tom Buchanan a wealthy man living in East Egg with his wife Daisy. It is evident that Fitzgerald would want readers to look at Nick as an honest man and a bystander or observer of the world going on around him. On the other hand, Fitzgerald wants readers to see Tom as an arrogant, hypocritical brute with no morals whatsoever.

According to Susan Dick, Woolf’s narrator moves freely among the characters, entering their minds and using a subtle blend of quoted and narrated monologue, supplemented by description, to reveal their inner lives. Readers know the characters as they know themselves and as they are known to one another. Although the narrator places the characters in the foreground of the narrative and generally blends her voice with theirs, she also maintains an independent point of view which enables her to speak in her own voice. The characters in “To the Lighthouse” are often captured in reverie that thinking requires on a more impersonal character.
The most powerful pharaohs of Egypt will be forever immortalized within history. However, in the case of Ozymandias (Ramses II) his statue, as a representation of him, is left in the dust of the sands, decrepit in the place that was once his kingdom of Thebes (GCSE). In Percy Shelley’s poem, “Ozymandias,” a Petrarchan sonnet, Shelley thoroughly disvalues Ramses within the realms of three speakers: The narrator, the traveler, and Ozymandias himself. Percy uses mostly both visual imagery and irony to narrate the lost accomplishments of a King, therefore conveying the mortality of personal glory.
