Summary Of Cooper Bartholomew Is Dead By Rebecca James
Finding out that your boyfriends dead body was found at the foot of a cliff due to suicide, is not something that you hear ordinarily, especially when you are genuinely certain that he was happy with his life. ‘Cooper Bartholomew is Dead’ written by Rebecca James is a fast paced, psychologically thrilling novel that will undeniably keep you on the edge of your seat at all times.

Within reading the first page of the novel, I was already longing to continue turning the pages. The manner in which both the first page and blurb are written in, both automatically pull the reader in due to the mysterious suspense making you want more. The first three sentences of this novel are “I never imagined I would die like this. The fall from the cliff is sudden

    1. The Cornell family didn’t resemble the family ideals propounded in contemporary sermons, literature and the law. “Documents reveal the distance between the New England family of historical imagination and the realities of seventeenth-century domestic life. Instead of the harmony and respect that sermon literature laws and hierarchical/patriarchal society attempted to impose evidence illustrates filial insolence, generational conflict, disrespect toward the elderly, power plays between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, adult dependence on aging parents who clung to purse strings, sibling rivalry over inherited property and discord between stepmother and stepchildren” (Crane 2).

    The page following the book’s title depicts a scene at sea. The whole image is washed with a dark blue from the sky to the ocean, and the crashing waves convey a menacing journey has taken place. At the bottom of the page, if one looks closely, it is evident that the bottom of the wooden raft has been drawn but blends into the rest of the image. This inclusion of the raft changes the perspective of the image as the responder is now been positioned as if they were looking out from the raft, the place of the Man. An immediate bond has now been formed between the responder and the man, and for the rest of the text we continue to sympathise with him.…

    All introductions have to lure and imbed that figurative hook and not let them go unless they don't want there book to be read past the blurb. Introduction's must be unpredictable, spontaneous and infinitely exciting to deliver curiosity to the reader.

This is the key to a perfect introduction.…

    The reason I chose this literary element is because Collins has the ability to generate constant suspense that keeps us reading. An example of a suspenseful quote is, “When Thresh whirls around me, the rock raised, I know it's no good to run. My bow is empty, the last arrow having gone in Clove's direction. I'm trapped in the glare of his strange golden brown eyes” (287). There was no escape for her and it did not seem there was a possible chance for her to survive, yet she manages to. Another example is, “The Careers stop in the clearing about ten yards from my tree. They have flashlights, torches. I can see an arm here, a boot there, through the breaks in the branches. I turn to stone, not even daring to breathe” (160). The tension built here is indescribable; the Careers having stopped right under her tree, a tiny breath could have killed her. Suzanne Collin's writing skills are extremely captivating to the readers. The way she concludes each chapter with an anticipating cliffhanger makes readers continue reading without no desire to stop.…

    ◊ A beginning and also an end --> an oxymoron2, as the novel starts with the evocation of the death of the narrator. But since he is the narrator – and unless the narrative voice changes later, we know that this death is not about to happen, as the story has to go on. ◊ Although the narrator announces an end from the very beginning, hope and future are present through “hints” that imply that everything is ready for a new start : “First Street” (l.10), “Prospect park” (l. 11) ◊ Permanent coexistence of death/life, despair/hope ... ◊ This new beginning coexists with the omnipresent theme of the “loop3” : From Brooklyn to Bronxville and back to Brooklyn, there are only a…
