Hi, Beth, This is my favorite structure technique, thanks for your lesson.
12. UNRELIABLE NARRATOR I’m not sure how unconventional this is anymore, since it’s been widely used across literature and film. I write using unreliable narrators all of the time, but if you haven’t before, certainly try it out. It’s been used in everything from the films The Sixth Sense and The Usual Suspects to the novels One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest and Will Christopher Baer’s Phineas Poe trilogy (Kiss Me Judas, Penny Dreadful, and Hell’s Half Acre). The idea is that your narrator can’t be trusted, whether the delusion or false information is because of insanity, alcohol, a lying nature, a complicated plot, greed, or a hidden agenda. A twist ending is a popular way of wrapping up a story with an unreliable narrator, but there are a lot of ways of utilizing this technique.

Hi, Beth So sorry I didn’t attend these two class because I was on vacation
This is my first class HW:
The book Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry was written in the background of 1933 years when the great depression happened. At that time, the black people’s unfairness became the worst period. The author chose to write this story in the background of this period is because, it can fully express the black American’s state. Not only the period effects this book, also about Mildred D. Taylor’s own family background, she was a black American and was lived in a life that wasn’t fair enough to let her live, so she create this novel actually similar to her life.

I think Dickens were using humor to bring out the fear and scary, the humor was very short, and you laugh at the first time, then when the second time you think about it, it became a fear ness of unknown. The humor always acting to be a lure of the story, and the fear came up next right away, the humor was appearing at first when the reader have the most curiosity of this novel, then the reader will realize that the background of humor was a scary setting. Dickens wrote the story in a very special way, the story was very humorous at first, and the story became sad, then the comedy part came. Dickens blend these two feeling with a sadness, so the story was very intresting.

Question A: Is it important to know about Victorian England in order to understand A Christmas Carol?
Answer: Yes, because if you know the background, then you will understand the authors purpose of writing this novel, and you will more understand what author is talking about. The author was written in Victory England, that was a very messy and not ruled time, and the author was living in the west, which is a very rich place, and the book was setting in the east, which is a very poor place. If the reader don’t know this, then they wouldn’t get the point that author was talking about, if they don’t know the ideas, then they won’t think deeper in the book either.

I remember when a time me and my mom went to a museum with my friend and her mom, we were so exited to see each other even though we met everyday, we chatted all alone the way when my mom and her mom was talking with each other. We have gone to two museum in that afternoon, we where all reluctant to leave when our mom was dragging us towards the car.

I think if War Horse was wrote in a human perspective, the story won’t be very sad, or it will be more like angry. Because of Joey’s ignorance, the war seem like more cruel than we thought of it, and not just the angry of the humans and soldiers. And also, the human couldn’t hear a horse’s thoughts or voice. In the book, it said:’They were both gentle and kind, with not a shred of aggression in their courageous souls, and Topthorn and I came to love them dearly.‘ The humans don’t know Joey and Topthorn like them, and maybe they will think that the horses don’t like them, the humans can’t understand the feelings of other, Morpurgo made these seem like very miserable.

I think it was very important to student if they know the background image of the book, which is War Horse. Maybe the first time student were just reading and get to knowing the normal story in the book, but with the knowledge of the back ground which is world war I, they will get to know what author was expecting the reader to know, and they will think more deeply to the book, not just seeing the hole story. Student will be more familiar to this book, they will know what author was expecting, and they will also have more interest on this book and the history from the book. And if student have more interest on it, they will dig more about the author, the facts about the war, and also the famous part in the war. All in all, it was so important to student to get to know the world war I.

I think H.G wells wants us to think about the things that human does, he had a great example of the future, he wasn’t giving us the space to predict, it may happen if human don’t work or not doing things. H.G Wells want us to see, if the human was lazy and greedy, the year in the future will be like that, he knows that we can use electricity to predict the things in next year or three years later, so he was imagining very very far, so he knows that we couldn’t predict if it was true or not, so he let us know the hidden danger in this world.

It was always science fiction, and H.G. Wells seems don’t like to tell more about the main character, he tells more about the other characters, and then, he let the reader knows what the main character was doing and seeing. H.G. Wells was always starting a story in a kind of hook that someone was shouting or saying something, he maybe want the readers to get in to his story more and really dug into it, so then he has not given the main character information. And also, H.G Wells was using a lot of words to describe the story and he was always talking about the response of other characters. He likes the story to filled with imagination and special creatures.

I would think it was not possible and I will think it was funny that people could use time machine to go to the past. But when I read it again, I would think it was very magical and it could happened in the future and human have lot of things to explore. And the third time I read it again I thought of the things we could do now to help human to explore future and past, I can have many invention, and maybe I will become the one that can go to explore!
