    “You are going to die.” (3) is how Markus Zusak starts off The Book Thief. Before the reader has even finished the first page, Zusak has used foreshadowing. All throughout the novel the reader sees this. By Zusak doing this, the audience is able to stay engaged. Zusak gives little and big clues about what’s coming up, some are obvious and some are not. Zusak foreshadows early in the novel that Rudy will die. “He didn’t deserve to die the way he did.” (241) This leaves the reader with suspense and with that little bit of information; the audience is driven to continue reading. Through the use of foreshadowing, Zusak reveals the death of Rudy, along with many others, and the outcome of Himmel Street.…

    In the case of Edgar Sawtelle, Edgar believes his father was murdered by his own uncle, Claude, but has trouble proving this because of lack of evidence. Throughout the novel, Edgar tried to prove his uncle guilty after first suspecting he was the murderer by following up on his uncle and trying to spark a reaction by recreating the scene. To express his theme, Wroblewski’s novel, was an allusion to the Broadway show Hamlet. Not only does he base most of his characters names off of the play, but he also has a very similar plot. Hamlet’s plot was also about a boy’s father who had died and had suspected there was foul play involved between his father and his uncle after being approached by a mysterious ghost. By making his novel an allusion to Hamlet, this further expresses his theme by giving the readers an outside source to further their understanding about the plot. Another main literary feature used in this novel to express revenge and the goal of getting justice was shown by using foreshadowing. Between the bickering and the arguing of his father Gar and Claude, and the sudden death of Gar, it wasn’t too hard to predict who had done it. The reader would likely get a sense of what was going to happen and how it…

    Before the invention of television and film the art of story telling was restricted to theater and literature. Theater was and still is performed live by actors who tell some kind of story through their performance. But theater is still limited greatly in its ability to convey setting to the viewer. In order to fully grasp the power of any story one must believe, in a sense, that the events are happening before them. Literature is better able to accomplish this by utilizing the power of the human imagination. Even more than this literature has the ability to describe human emotion through the use of strong metaphors and colorful language. It is this technique of writing that remains unique to literature. Even film…

    Arthur Miller uses realism as a prevalent factor that truly defines the drama, Death of a Salesman, and allows the audience to identify with one or more of the characters in the play; primarily Willy.

The setting refers to existing physical elements of the modern time, along with the verbiage. Just as well, characters in the play have real life situations that mimic the everyday lives of those watching, especially of the middleclass.…
