The Importance Of Writing A Horror Story

For example, a large number of people would like to be surrounded in a world containing plenty of mystery and suspense. Then again, a supernatural force can show what someone might or might not want to become. On top of that, a doppelganger in gothic literature definitely represents who the reader should avoid being. As a result, gothic horror is important to a reader because of how it can connect to their lives in a certain way. In the novel Dracula, author Bram Stoker focuses on multiple elements of gothic horror which apply to several of the characters in the novel and can compare to contemporary works that have gothic elements, as well.

Ultimately, the central purpose of an author’s novel is to engross the reader, by writing in a genre and movement that is appropriate the book. Appropriately, Kurt Dinan engages the reader with both a Mystery genre and Postmodernist elements in his novel, Don’t Get Caught. Postmodernists believe that traditional authority is false and corrupt, and the central theme of Don’t Get Caught is that the powerful students play pranks and humiliate the less influential students. There exists a social elite club known as the Chaos Club that plays pranks on the school and faculty, and nobody can figure out the leader of the club is or who the members’ are.

Poe believes that stories that dealt with gothic literature needed to have allegories in them to have a second level of meaning in addition to it’s literal meaning. Theses types of elements were popular in this time period because they taught moral lessons and contributed to the dark feeling a person undergoes when finding the true meaning of not only the story, but are able to personally understand the true feeling the author is trying to make individuals feel. In “The Tale and Its Effect”, Poe stated that he used and supported unity of effect to go about discussing the themes he embedded within his stories in order to make the reader to feel a certain way. He believes that they need to be short and sweet so that the author can get all the details to the reader. Poe exclaims that short stories are superior to novels because one is able to sit down and finish it in one-sitting rather than breaking the experience, with the possibility of forgetting important elements.

In any work of fiction, there is bound to be a character who undergoes major changes in his personality and tries to fulfill his/her inner potential. Often times, as is the case with many of these novels, main characters in works like these mirror the inner thoughts and aspirations of the authors, giving anecdotal evidence and experiences via personal storytelling. Catcher in the Rye by JD Salinger explores this theme via a first-person narrative, carefully crafting and weaving stories and small details to invite the reader to sympathize in Holden Caulfield’s experience. Although critics often “complain of the novel’s pedestrian content,” in reality, personal storytelling and integrating themes into dialect is different from pedestrian, uninteresting content because of the nuances embedded within the text (Roemer 5). In his first description of Allie, although the passage is just a “pedestrian” description, the sheer difficulty of opening up and exploring themes subtly comes up via Salinger’s syntax, diction, and tone of the passage.

The short story titled 'GOT YOU' is written as an addition to the internet phenomenon of "Creepy Pasta's", which are a collection of short stories intended to be a scary and spooky read for people looking for a quick thrill. This short tale is influenced by the style model "I'LL BE WAITING" written by an anonymous writer on the official Creepy Pasta webpage and would be under the section of 'Beings & Entities'. My target audience for this story is for young adults, who maybe have a more understanding of things like child abuse. The primary purpose of this piece of text is to entertain the reader and give them the thrill that the implied reader would be seeking.

This means that when the reader tries to understand what is happening it will be different for each person. The story uses such a real problem filled with characters we can not relate to and know nothing about, and uses figurative language and other literary devices to hide the truth of the story. It is up to the reader to interpret the story how they understand it. The plot of this story is very important to this story, and what is missing from the plot.

As every piece of literature consist of themes The Road and A Canticle for Leibowitz is no exception. Themes hold crucial information regarding the story; they show the main ideas and thoughts of the authors writing the particular piece of art. Since it holds so much value to the readers, they are always emphasized to a certain degree, but in the case of post-apocalyptic genre violence is a pillar of this genre while love is used more rarely. Therefore by studying and researching how Cormac McCarthy and Walter Miller portrayed the most important themes in post-apocalyptic genre, the basis and difference between 20th and 21st post-apocalyptic literature will be drawn. The most prominent theme of the post-apocalyptic genre is violence.

One of the roles of literature is to teach us something about ourselves or essentially unveil something about yourself that you did not know was there. The novel The Chronicles of a Death Foretold by Gabriel Garcia Marquez is an example of teaching us about ourselves and human nature because Marquez writes about different things that happen to us in our everyday life that we do not notice because it could be looked at as second nature. The novel shows different aspects of human nature, there is shared guilt/guilt, Gossip, and human routine these aspects are integral to the story and how the plot advances and possible helps the reader see that they may experience these things also. Shared guilt and guilt are major roles of the novel because it is a part of the reason Santiago was murder. Marquez makes sure every character in the novel feels some type of guilt for Santiago’s murder, even the characters that are not essential to the plot, such as, the mayor and the priest who are there to help the people of their town when something is going wrong but, instead they were worried about domino games and the visit of the bishop to help someone in need.

The Importance of Setting Setting is important to the plot of stories. The setting sets the overall mood of what is to happen. In the short stories “The Fall of the House of Usher” by Edgar Allan Poe and “Where Is Here?” by Joyce Carol Oates, the settings give off an uneasy feel that contributes to the main plot. The settings of each make the terror in the story more real. Without the creepy settings, the stories would not be as scary.

However, as we grow, we learn that these scary stories are meant to teach us something. Mary Shelley’s novel is a great example. The first adaptation can be classified as a translation. Mary Shelley’s

When you see yourself in the setting and apart of the book that`s what makes fiction so valuable to any reader. As many see fiction as a way to escape reality and live a life they wish they

Regarding this point, sometimes it could be difficult for some writers to find a balance while giving details in a writing. Some people may find boring to read too much details while reading, probably because it is

Rationale: For this task, I created a diary because I think that this style of writing would be an extremely effective way to show another major character’s emotions and ideas, as it can be written from a first person perspective, giving a huge amount of insight. I based my task on a short story by Edgar Allen Poe, titled “The Tell-Tale Heart.” I chose this piece as it gives the opportunity to be very creative in my writing, but also introduces various constraints, such as writing in a similar style to Poe, and trying to avoid any plot holes. This task specifically relates to part 4 of the language and literature course, being; literature, as the stimulus text is a piece of literature, as is my piece of writing.

Considering the many different literary devices used in creating writing, I have chosen several distinct elements, setting, theme, point of view and characterization. These particular devices are essential elements in my toolkit. As a realistic fiction writer the four elements serve a purpose and together they should craft an interesting story. As a result, my first important foundational tool is setting.

I Would recommend this book to people who like to read about love stories as well as mysterious type of books. After reading this book, I’ll most likely read something with less love in a
