While The Wire has many arcs within the show the seasonal arc, I believe is more complex compared to the other ones (scene and episode) because of the nuisances that need to occur within the allotted time, but also the fact that a season is usually a year long and therefore the writers have a lot time to play around with different ideas. First thing that happens is that they establish the premise of the show, the ongoing problem that is going to be resolved by the end of season (hopefully). So for the The Wire that problem is Barksdale, and for the time being it’s D’Angelo Barksdale. In the first couple episodes, they also begin to introduce the characters essential to the plot, along with a couple side characters. This is all important to the beginning of the arc because the writers are setting the foundation in which they will built their storyworld around. Therefore, this allows the viewer to begin to set …show more content…
For example, for the detectives when the death of the state witness, Gant, is made public and almost causes for the whole operation to close down. These obstacles that keep hindering the detectives’ operation: Daniels’ mistrust and lack of support toward the operation, raiding the pit, having to put drugs on the table, Wallace’s death, Carver being a snitch, culminating in D’Angelo not testifying against his uncle, all add to the shape of the season arc. The shape of the arc is made up of those moments when the main characters are losing but also when they hit a winning streak. For example, when McNulty got the wire on the pagers, when Prez cracked the code from the pagers, when Freamon found the newspaper article that allowed them to track the money, all these moments build upon each other and created anticipation for the season finale with the main question of the season: Will they be able to arrest Avon Barksdale and stop the whole drug

Lastly, the literary element tension. Tensions should appear and progress in relation to their importance. Have lower tension symptomatic of an issue. Also, the bigger the problem (to you, the author) the more it should appear and progress. Be aware and ready to add a transition between the narration and the action. One last final piece of tension is that each event doesn’t have to be massive; use small, common situations to reveal the story’s
Finding clues left by the author is essential for figuring out where a story’s headed. Readers can find these clues and use them to create a hypothesis in their own mind of how the story will end. “There was Slade and here was Mr. Baumer with his bills and here I was, just as before,

Short stories usually convey a theme message, a statement which motivates the reader to be a more moral person. In order for the reader to understand this life lesson, authors implant different literary devices such as foreshadowing and conflict into their stories. Foreshadowing is the use of clues to suggest events that may occur later in the story, and conflict is when there is a struggle between two opposing forces. In Charles by Shirley Jackson and The Fun They Had by Isaac Asimov, the authors use foreshadowing and conflict to enhance the story's ultimate meaning and to keep readers absorbed in the story.

Authors use literary elements throughout short stories to give an overall effect on the message they give in the story. In his short story, “Doe Season” by Michael Kaplan, illustrates a theme(s) of the hardships of not wanting to face the reality of death, losing of innocence and the initiation of growing up.

Well pronounced throughout the novel, the theme hold up to the measures placed up on it by Stanford’s Suggested Reading List. The theme that was greatly defined was the conquering of good over evil. Inspector Crome announced to Poirot, after Poirot’s stocking forewarning proved to be correct, “Congratulations. Your hunch was right” (Christie 255). Poirot, the reputable detective, prevailed over “ABC,” the horrendous serial killer. Poirot, finally discovering the man who committed all of these murders, declared, “I had no further doubt in my mind---ABC, the man who wrote the letters and committed the crimes, was Franklin Clarke” (Christie 322). Poirot defeated Clarke by eventually discovering that it was he who committed the murders.
One factor is the story truth and the happening truth, what had occurred versus what was thought to have occurred. O’Brien quotes that, “Story truth is truer sometimes than happening truth”. Story truth is what had seemed to had happened, but in the perspective of the others and not O’Brien’s perspective. Happening truth is what O’Brien remembers from his own perspective, what he saw while he was there. These are contributing factors to the theme because they are important for the audience to

The biggest difference between summer and winter is the climate. One of the main attractions of summer is the warm weather. I like being outside on a bright sunny day, and letting the sun warm my body. I also like that we get an occasional thunder storm. The excitement fills the air when I see the thunder clouds rolling in. The sound of thunder, and the lighting shows that come from the storms are fascinating. On the other hand winter i...
