Fant, Gene. God as Author. Nashville, TN: B&H Academic Publishing Group, 2010. Gene Fant in his book God as Author argues that the gospel is not just like a story, but that stories are like the gospel in order to show that God stands behind the power of narrative, and that any story we are given, He has given us to point us back to Him. Fant addresses the many of the different ways to read narrative and maintains the fact that allegory is the

    Summary Of How To Read Literature

    The fourth chapter of How to Read Literature is “Interpretation,” which happened to be the longest chapter of this book. Eagleton gave the reader a very well-known example of the poem, "Baa, baa, black sheep.” He presented his argument, in this case, his literary theory in a quite interesting way. Eagleton pointed out that you can’t write with any interpretation. His argument for the chapter was that the work you write much be true, depending on the context. It is understood that interpretations will happen now and then, but you must not allow the narrative to be so ignorant and biased to one meaning. Like the rest of the chapters in the book, Eagleton used a book to give an example. The chapter allowed the reader to realize that works being…

    This essay will explain about the narrative voice that is used in novels and how it misleads or mystifies the reader. Narrative voice defines the tone of the narrator stating their point of view. It presents the reader the situation which causes the narrator to have control over the reader’s mood.

Therefore it allows the reader to know multiple characters feelings and thoughts.…

    Evidentialist Method Apologetics

    Apologetics comes in several different methods that are utilized to defend one’s faith and also to evangelize. One method of apologetics is Evidentialism, also known as Natural Theology. Evidentialism is probably the most popular form of apologetics, if not the one that leads the field. Our current world demands proof and supporting data and Evidentialism stresses the deliverance of accurate substantiation with the hope of bringing cynics and criticizers to the truths of Christianity. Evidentialism continues to excel in the field of apologetics and does well in confronting the major worldviews with the truths of the Christian faith that can be proven with factual analysis. This review will provide the reader with a summary of the Evidentialist Method, a critique of the Evidentialist Method, and a list of some of the more popular Evidentialists.…

    Comparison Of Stanley And Blanche In A Streetcar Named Desire By Tennessee Williams

    Hans Robert Jauss, a German academic notable for his work in reception theory, divides the reading process into two parts: understanding and interpretation. He suggests that the first reading of a literary text is that of an aesthetical understanding of the work based upon first impressions. Since a reader cannot obtain a clear understanding of the overall story until the last line, Jauss states that “analysis cannot begin with the question of the significance of the particular within the achieved form of the whole; rather, it must pursue the significance still left open in the process of perception that the text, like a ‘score’, indicates for the reader” (141). It is only by the second reading of a text that a reader can truly understand the ways in which each part of the story connects and weaves into the larger picture. This process of reading requires the reader to make tentative probabilities based on expectations from what they understand of the text on their first reading.…

    Modernism In English Literature

    As T.S. Eliot once said, “Every age gets the art it deserves and every age must accept the art it gets. A complex age like the 20th century, upset by two World Wars and marked by unrest and ferments, couldn’t as result produce anything but complex art, mainly resulting, more than in any previous age, from experimentation. The search for new forms of expression, which affected all branches of literature, was carried on first of all in fiction and novel. So far novelists had concentrated above all on plots, and their main preoccupation had been with characters in society, since they thought that the function of novels was to present people in a social context, so that they became mirrors of their own age. The English novel was essentially bourgeois in its origin and throughout the 18th and the 19th centuries it was firmly anchored in a social world. The novelist used to make digression, address the reader, comment on his own performance, and he was faced with a relatively easy task : he was expected to mediate between his characters and the reader, relating in a more or less objective way significant events and incidents in a chronological order. The existence of accepted social values and standards of behaviour led to the presentation of a social pattern which was familiar territory to both reader and writer. Naturalism brought nothing new from this point of view and the structure of the novel remained basically unaltered. In the 20th century, instead, preoccupation began to shift from society to man himself; characters became all important, because of their inner selves and not because of what was going on outside and around them. The novelist rejected omniscient narration and experimented new methods to portray the individual consciousness; the viewpoint shifted from the external world to the internal world of a character’s mind. The analysis of a character’s consciousness was influenced by the theories about the simultaneous…
