The Lense Analysis
All characters were very flat
No characters undergo development or sufficiently surprise the readers, which made the story a little dull
There was no pacing in the story, which allowed the readers to lose interest.
Pacing builds tension and emphasizes important events, making it clear that there is a climax approaching. However, due to the lack of pacing, the tension was neither increasing or decreasing, making the reader unaware of when the climax occurred.

    This story was very odd but was a good book. The fiction of this story is tied to reality in a very unique way, that is very effective in making the story not feel very fantasy.

    It is a well known fact that experiencing war changes people; there is an innocence that is forever lost. In Tim O’Brian’s, “Sweetheart of the Song Tra Bong”, Mary Anne Bell is an unusual example of the innocence that is lost in war because unlike the rest of the soldiers, she is a woman. Mary Anne’s transformation from innocent “sweetheart” to fierce warrior left readers with mixed emotions because although Mary Anne felt at peace with her transformation, she was also disconnected from reality.…

    Often in life and in literature, people find themselves in overpowering situations. This is what Herodotus was referring to when he wrote, “Men are at the mercy of events and cannot control them.” In other words, people suffer not because of their own actions, but because of the situation in which they find themselves. This is true in considering Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck because George and Lennie, the two protagonists, and other minor characters suffer due to events beyond their control. Herodotus’ quotation is also true in considering William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, because the protagonists, Romeo and Juliet, are also overpowered by the forces that surround them. Herodotus’ quote proves particularly true in considering the setting of both novels, the conflicts within the two texts, and the characterization of the protagonists and even the minor characters within the novels.…

    I believe that the author did an outstanding job of presenting the information in this book. Many authors would have tried to intertwine these women’s stories in order to make the story more interesting as a whole. Instead she sets aside a chapter to different groups she wants to go into detail discussing. For instance, she doesn’t try to compare and contrast the women who were on the home front to the women who followed the armies. Instead, she helps you realize the importance of both by devoting…

    Without pacing the narrative can become very flat and boring. It’s an essential part of every literature writing. So with pacing not only does it make the narrative interesting it also make the reader able to understand the story, so if something were to be paced fast it’s very likely that the reader won’t be able to understand the story at all or only understand bits and pieces of it. Evidence of pacing in stories could be found in “The Lottery”, “Metamorphosis”, “Carry”, and “Without a title.” Let’s start with Carry.…

    Lens Model of Conflict

    • 2 Pages

    According to our textbook, there are two fundamental aspects are important in all conflicts: (1) communication behaviors and (2) the perceptions of those behaviors. Think of the study of conflict as a view through a lens, like the lens of a camera, or through prescription glasses. The lens model of conflict specifies that each person has a view of (1) oneself, (2) the other person, and (3) the relationship. These perceptual pieces form the fundamental views of all conflicts, and combined together they form the mosaic of a particular conflict (Wilmot & Hocker 2010).…

    In chapter 3 tension is created by the way in which time passes within the text. Everything seems to happen, and time passes, in this section of the text. It is described how ‘a minute passed, and then another minute.’ This shows that even the characters in this section of the novel are noticing as well as the reader. They are all sitting together in the bunkhouse, waiting for the shot to sound. Because they are waiting for something bad to happen, everything seems to take a lot longer than usual. The reader knows that the shooting of the dog should not take too long, but as they are anticipating the shot to sound, everything seems to take longer. This is how time passing slowly is used in chapter 3 to create dramatic…

    Some parts of the dialogue were a bit dry which was the boring part. What kept me interested was waiting to find out what would happen to Bartleby or if we would find out more information about him or why he is so strange. Therefore, since the ending of the story didn’t reveal any new information about Bartleby it left me very unsatisfied.…

    Regeneration is a novel largely based upon the male experience of war , however Barker's use of predominantly confident and modern women represents the seismic effects the war had on the female population, while also exploring how the war was an emasculating experience for men. As the jingoistic illusions of what war was like were weakened by the harsh realities of war for the men who signed up to fight, they began taking on more maternal roles, whereas, some women transformed into independent strong-minded individuals, taking on traditional male roles such as working in munitions. Barker has chosen to focus strongly on the roles of women, as she wants to show how they experienced World War One, as their role is sometimes obscured in literature because they did not have direct contact with the enemy. The fact that Barker has used very dominant women suggests that they are important to her, and she certainly explores deeper than 'girls' as entertainers for soldiers, sweethearts and those who handed out white feathers to young men who had not enlisted.…

The message that the way we are made, as unique individuals, is the most beautiful is conveyed through the main character Corinne’s thoughts, emotions and viewpoint.…
