These environments fashioned how each author regarded the world, and how they put forth these outlooks in writing. In this paper, I will examine how each author interprets his or her world. By looking at the context and wording in passages from each text, I aim to show how their worlds, at times, revealed similarities while other times showed us how different these two worlds were. Looking at the world through an author’s autobiography versus an autobiographical fiction, one finds that most have similar characteristics. For instance, they can encompass both drama and struggles, while the characters can be humorous or serious, formal or informal.

Although the story is told in small narratives by several different people, the reader can piece together what are the main ideas of the storyline, as it is written in a non-linear style that often backtracks adding to the foundation of the story. Therefore, use of fragmentation in the novel makes the reader "read between the lines" to comprehend the story. Each fragment of the novel not only adds to the plot, but also many subplots, as in "As I Lay Dying". Subplots presented in the novel include the many different agendas each member of the family has for wanting to travel to Jefferson other than burying Addie: such as Anse wanting new teeth, Dewey Dell seeking an abortion and Vardaman wants to see the toy train.

When an author writes a novel, a narrative method must be chosen which will effectively and uniquely convey the plot and characters to the readers. Epistolary novels are written as a collection of documents which are usually in the form of letters. This method of using letters to present the plot adds realism to stories by mimicking real-life letters and allowing the voice of a specific narrator to be experienced more intimately. This method of storytelling is most exceptionally presented in The Colour Purple, by Alice Walker, as the novel is made up of letters written by Celie, the protagonist and her experiences in an era when women had little power. In fact, her ability to write these letters allows the reader to recognize both her attempts at gaining power and her desperate struggle against her male-dominated society.

Each of them interconnects with each forming a better understanding and flow of the stories authors write. Some examples of authors from different time periods that maintained the fundamental elements are Nathanial Hawthorne, Anton Chekhov, Margaret Atwood, Alice Munro, and Franz Kafka. Their specific works that exemplify the literary fundamentals of character, themes, and symbolism is “How I met my Husband,” “Metamorphosis”, “Happy Ending”, “Misery”, and “Young Goodman Brown.” A common element shown in most stories is the input of characters. Characters are one of the most important components. They often lead the stories to many components of other literary elements.

Huxley utilizes these plot types to provide insight into his characters, allowing the reader to view them in different situations, while managing to connect all of the different occurrences together to form a clear and purposeful structure to his novel. An episodic plot is made of a series of incidents that may not appear to be directly connected, save for a common factor that may unite them all. This factor is usually a character, or a theme, and Huxley uses both to relate his occurrences to one another. Throughout his story, he provides separate episodes in the life of Lenina, Bernard, and John. These characters are the uniting factors, because they interact with each other and are part of each others life later within the novel.

I found that the use of unclearness in the narration was really confusing but at the same time it gave me an idea that there would be a big twist the end of the novel about the narrator. Also, the Holman challenged some of the characters characteristic and human conditions that our society on girls and how they are viewed by our society that we currently live in. Though out this novel Holman made lots of connection to real world situations and she used lots of different ways to develop the novel so that the reader could find something interesting about her writing style.

In the novels The Awakening and Pride and Prejudice the characteristic foils that are encountered with Edna Pontellier and Adele Ratignolle flow with Charlotte Lucas and Elizabeth Bennet, as they ignite their individual qualities that not only contrast with each other but by comparison aid in illustrating important themes regarding the life of submission and dependence that women led during the 19th century. In order to understand how the foil brings out the attributes of the main characters and the message the authors communicate, the differences between the main characters and the foils must be first observed. In Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, one of the minor characters is Charlotte Lucas, which is Elizabeth Bennet’s friend. While her role in the novel is relatively small, her actions are nevertheless significant in understanding Elizabeth. In the novel, Charlotte hastily agrees to marry Mr. Collins.

Tim O’Brien’s The Things They Carried is a very uniquely written book. This book is comprised of countless stories that, though are out of order, intertwine and capture the reader’s attention through the end of the novel. This book, which is more a collection of short stories rather than one story that has a beginning and an end, uses a format that will keep the reader coming back for more. Typically, a novel contains four basic parts: a beginning, middle, climax, and the end. The beginning sets the tone for the book and introduces the reader to the characters and the setting.
