Her uncle says she knows too much and that she can't live because of it. In the struggle against her uncle for her life, he loses his footing and she pushes him off the train instead, killing him immediately. This whole scene is suspenseful because the viewer has no idea what is going to happen and they fear for Charlie's life with her. In a way, I view this movie and conceptual suspense as one of those films where the character has no idea where the outcome will take him or her and the audience knows what is going to happen so while the character can't hear the viewer, they're screaming in suspense at the scene to keep him or her from doing whatever stupid thing the audience knows they're about to do. I find using conceptual suspense to create a film than just a little bit of suspense and some surprise. I find it makes those films uninteresting to watch after the first viewing. There is nothing new to feel for the character as with regular horror films. In Shadow of a Doubt, I feel the audience will not lose interest and will continue to feel that suspense and concern for the character, instead of with the character, for years to…

Readers enjoy noticing suspense in stories because it hooks them on to read the rest of the story. In “The Landlady” by Roald Dahl, a man named Billy Weaver stays at a bed & breakfast and meets the Landlady. The Landlady is an odd woman. She appears as a kind and generous soul, but on the inside she is an evil and despicable lady with bone-chilling plans for Billy. In Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Tell-Tale Heart”, the old man had no problems with the narrator. The narrator actually liked the old man, but the level of insanity in the narrator’s head leads him to committing a horrific, gruesome act. Therefore, suspense is depicted in both Roald Dahl’s “The Landlady” and Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Tell-Tale Heart” through the use of symbolism and descriptive…

The American writer, Lois Lowry in her novel, The Giver, claims that in creating a utopian society the creator manufactures a dystopia, since the individuality of a person contradicts the creator’s idea of a utopia. She develops her claim by first creating a utopia where the residents lack individuality conforming to the criteria of sameness, then presenting the absence of intense emotions, then convey the reader’s thoughts of the utopia by placing a main character who gains his emotions and individuality, and finally declares that the utopia lacks morality spawning a dystopia. Lowry’s purpose is to criticize conformity in order to state that to enjoy life one must suffer to appreciate life. She establishes a thoughtful tone for the audience…

I will be giving my interpretation of the book “The Giver” by Lois Lowry. This book is set in a society that at first seems to be a utopian society but the further you read on it gradually appears to be more and more dystopian. So this book is about a boy named Jonas going through his twelfth year of his life. Jonas is soon selected to be the “Receiver of Memory” he is to be given the past memories of the time before sameness, or before the society became a utopia. As the story progresses Jonas soon realizes that this perfect world he lived in, isn’t so perfect after all. I absolutely loved this book. This book is riveting, thought provoking, and so perfect for triggering discussions. The ending is deliberately ambiguous leaving the readers to decide what they want to believe.…

Alfred uses this quote, “I’ll come to three by moonlight, though hell should bar the way!” to show repetition throughout the story.

The Giver movie and the Giver novel were very different. This is most likely because the Giver book was released in 1993 and the movie was made in 2014. First, the movie depicts the characters to look like they are eighteen or nineteen, in the book they are only twelve. Also, in the movie Jonas begins to see beyond like in the book, except he sees yellow, unlike in the book where he sees red. In addition to that, a more important difference would be that in the move Ashers´ job is drone pilot and he plays a much bigger role. In the novel, he is the director of recreation and he doesn't do anything important. Finally, in the movie, Fiona almost gets released because she helped Jonas leave. In the novel, Jonas does not receive help from Fiona…
