Narrator's Persona

Depending on the relationship of the narrator and the character, the narrator can make someone look very bad or very good. Sometimes if the narrator is not involved it could be neutral. A character's characteristic is projected to the reader by the narrator's word choice and what the narrator want us to know about the character. This means that the narrator has the sole power to introduce a character the way he wants and we can only know a character by the way the narrator shows us. If the narrator intended to let the reader think that the character is vicious or evil, the reader has no way of finding out otherwise. This is very important because the way the narrator portraits the character can deeply effect how the reader like the character and it will relate to the condone or condemn of character's actions. This is very significant to the plot and the story that we understand the character through the narrator the way he wants. It is almost impossible not to have a bias narrator even if the narrator is not conscious or intentionally being bias because every word choice, every scene the narrator decided to show the reader will be a deciding factor of a character. A narrator can't put all the scenes and every single details into a story because it would be too long and the narrator cannot use neutral adjectives throughout the whole story. In conclusion, many story depends a lot on how a writer want the reader to think of a character and the story would change by a lot if the narrator decided to show the other side of the character.

Motivation for Telling a Story

In The Storyteller the aunt's motivation to tell the story of a good girl kidnapped by a bull and saved by her friends is to shut the kids up and maybe teach them some moral lesson. The bachelor's motivation to tell the story of Bertha is to prove the aunt's idea that kids cannot appreciate good stories wrong and to tell a totally opposite story of the aunt's to the children. He told the story also because he doesn't like the aunt and wants to make teaching hard for her by telling a story that expresses the idea that good is not always rewarded and is sometimes dangerous. The bachelor and aunt's story both has a moral and r both directed to the kids to teach them something but it is the total opposite of each other. Also, the bachelor's story is way better with more details and answered the children's question with creativity and swiftness unlike all of the qualities of the aunt's story. The aunt just wants to tell a story fast and get it over with so the children will be quiet and maybe learn something. The bachelor was telling the story mainly to oppose the aunt and the aunt is telling the story mainly to shut the kids up so they told for a different purpose and made the kids kind of confused about whether or not good is always the best way to behave, which is what the bachelor intended to do.

Satire

My pet peeves are people getting furious by really small things or incidents, constantly annoying and lecturing me about useless information, people being nosy, and Facebook spamming/stalking. These traits are generated from the annoyance created from constant annoyance, for example, spamming and annoying lectures are all caused because of the enormous quantity.

Once upon a time, there is a monster in the Banana Kingdom. The monster's name is unknown and people usually referred to him as the Master of Annoyance, Moa for short. Moa's greatest talent is that he could annoy people to an extreme that the target will explode into ashes. On a regular Sunday, Moa would roam through the kingdom, rubbing crap and urinating on people's walls. However, today was not a regular Sunday, the Banana King XII has spoken and had paid a huge amount of money to Apple Mercenaries to destroy Moa. During the first wave of attack, Moa wiped out a whole town during the battle, he unleashed a cry of nonsense that destroyed buildings, people, and toilets. He caused massive damage and he thinks the people of the kingdom deserved it. When the second wave came, the mercenaries tied him up and break every single bone in his body. Moa yelled in agony and instantly killed 3 people. When the Banana King issued the death penalty, Moa burst into rage and condemned the king for making an unfair judgement of punishing innocent citizen, namely, himself. Then, Moa was executed.

Saki's Purpose

The way the author describes the characters is very important. Different purposes are the criticizing or praising of characters, informative or just writing for fun, what the writer want's to tell you, or if it's persuasive. Sometimes a writer can be criticizing of something in the story but praises another. This means that a story does not have to be purely for criticizing something or it does not have to be written just for approving of something. However, a writer doesn't even have to make judgement or give opinion in a story, the story might just be informative and the writer has a neutral point of view toward it. As long as it is not a biography or autobiography or nonfiction, the writer can freely bend the settings, characters because he is making it all up without any standards. This way the writer can make his point clearer and make the reader fully understand why he wrote about it, why he chose the setting, why he describe certain characters certain way and others using a different way. Saki does not like the aunt, she pointed out how aunt's story is boring, uninteresting. By pointing this out, Saki successfully tackled the point she is trying to make and her purpose is to criticize the aunt. When Saki point out that the kids always asked why, I think she is trying to tell the reader that kids are curious and they would ask why to anything against their will.

Influence of Childhood

A writer's childhood effects a lot on the story of the writer because usually when a writer writes, he includes emotion and experience that he had into his story to make it more believable. Childhood memory effects the most because it is when the writer don't remember that much that makes the writer include the elements of his previous experience into his story unconsciously.  Childhood memory can have a huge impact on a story also because that it is very hard to forget major events when you are small and it's hard to avoid them being written into the essay. All writers are influenced by their childhood and it is unavoidable. Maybe some hides it well and but they are all influenced and some might not even know. It effects one's writing style. For example, if you are tortured a lot when you are a kid, your writing style might be filled with sympathy toward the protagonist or maybe the protagonist might be a portrait and a projection of when you're small.On the other hand, if you are very lucky and your parents love you a lot and you've never had any trouble in life, your writing would not be about the suffering and conflicts in life because you don't know them and it would be fake if you wrote about something you don't know. Writers write about what they know about and usually what they learned, especially at a young age, and when a writer doesn't follow this rule, he will be writing a bad story. One's education also affects one's writing style, one with royal or rich education might write with eloquence and big fancy words whereas normal people write with normal words and uses dialects better.

Point of No Return

Usually there is 2 possible reaction when you found that you are in a point of no return and especially in a bad situation that you can't change. Generally, a good reaction or a bad reaction. The good reaction would be something like calm or peaceful response and mental state because you know that there's no changing the situation and you have to face the problem rationally. Then we have the negative reaction, emotional breakdown, depression, cursing, and doing all sort of things that expresses your furious state of mind but you wouldn't face the problem. When you are facing the situation with the negative reaction you do not solve the problem which is a bad thing but the bright side is that you might not be angry anymore after you have expresses your anger. However if you go to the dark side and got violent it might harm the people around you. Hurting innocent people is against the law and one should never do that no matter how angry and furious you are. The key principle is that it's OK to express your anger and maybe sometimes in a violent way if you have to, for example you might find shooting a pillow helpful for your anger management control. However, bottom line is that if you express your anger in a violent way, be sure not to harm anyone and violate their nature rights of life, liberty, or pursuit of happiness. On top of those, you can not break the law by expressing your anger and this might be something very difficult to control. I personally thinks that remaining calm and thinking of the bright side and being optimistic is always the best way but I can never go to the bright side.

My Favorite Stories

The story I thought of first for my favorite stories is Tarzan. First of all, the music in the movie is awesome and I love all the songs in the movie. However, the story itself is really good. The main character, Tarzan, went out on a ship but then the ship crashes at the beginning of the story and his parents went on a lifeboat and got drifted by current onto an island. On the island, Tarzan's parents built a tree house and raised Tarzan there. But one night, Tarzan's parents got killed by a leopard, leaving Tarzan, still a baby, in a basket. Then a mother gorilla lost her baby too and she went out and found Tarzan. Then the gorilla clan raised Tarzan. I loved the story because Tarzan's parents cared about Tarzan so much and it is very sad that they got killed before Tarzan can remember them. Then the mother gorilla wandered into the forest and hear Tarzan crying then she adopted him and raised him. Another part of the story that is very appealing to me is that he protected and saved the gorillas from the hunters instead of helping the human. However, he fell in love with an archeologist's daughter and was going to leave the gorillas. But he came back for the gorillas and I think it is a very touching ending. I still watches this movie if I have free time and got nothing to do because it is a very good movie and again, I enjoyed the song a lot.
