Mr. Fox is one of the most enchanting and interesting books that I have read recently, and Helen Oyeyemi is also a highly inventive storyteller. She combines the reality, the fiction and fairy tales together, creating different characters and plots. Some characters are serious or ironic. Other characters can fall in love immediately with others or kill their lovers. I can feel the warm atmosphere when the characters are docile and romantic, and I also can feel the pains when characters stuck in the puzzles.
Since Mr. Fox is main character in this book, so the main stream of the book is based on the story of the love triangle between Mr. Fox and Mary Foxe who is regarded as muse and Miss. Fox. At first part of this book, Mary and Mr. Fox both have their own life and they have few connections. Especially, Mary tried to connect with Fox, but it failed. In the middle of the book, Fox and Mary have more connections, even if these connections are struggle and painful. Besides the main story, there are still many stories following the story of love triangle. In one plot, Mr. Fox is a psychologist and she is a model. Or, in the other plot, he 's an actual Mr. Fox and …show more content…

Fox is a wonderfully fiction novel, and Oyeyemi uses a lot of details to fulfill the whole story, so vivid and interesting. Mr. Fox is also a fascinating and inventive fiction stories, skillfully layered together to create a truly phenomenal work of fiction. When I read this fiction, I can literally imagine the whole setting. After reading Mr. Fox, I chilled on my bed, trying to retrieval the stories and connect different stories together. This is my first time to read a whole long fiction book written in English and I feel like I need to read it again and search some words through dictionary to understand messages that are undoubtedly hidden between the lines. There are just so many details, so many nuances that need to notice, and I feel that I ought to figure out all details and picture them

  • Irony In Happy Ending By Margaret Atwood

    Mary is still in deep love with John, conversely John only uses Mary for selfish pleasure. In here, Atwood breaks away from the telling of stories from third person to sentences of second. “He comes to her apartment twice a week and she cooks him dinner, you’ll notice that he doesn’t even consider her worth the price of a dinner out…” (96). This interruption is to revert back to the main idea of Atwood talking directly to the audience and informing them of how the character John treats and views Mary, which is complete turnaround from the previous Story A which went into no detail into either character’s thoughts or actions whatsoever. Another form of specific detail gets used through similes.

    ...e on her part. Throughout the story, the Mother is portrayed as the dominant figure, which resembled the amount of say that the father and children had on matters. Together, the Father, James, and David strived to maintain equality by helping with the chickens and taking care of Scott; however, despite the effort that they had put in, the Mother refused to be persuaded that Scott was of any value and therefore she felt that selling him would be most beneficial. The Mother’s persona is unsympathetic as she lacks respect and a heart towards her family members. Since the Mother never showed equality, her character had unraveled into the creation of a negative atmosphere in which her family is now cemented in. For the Father, David and James, it is only now the memories of Scott that will hold their bond together.

At times it seems strong, as when the narrator is relating her childhood and recounting the good times. Other times it is very strained. All in all the connection between the two seems to be a very real and lifelike account of an actual mother-daughter relationship.

    As the mind matures and grows, new opinions are formed with the help of the revolutionizing consciousness of humanity. The human conscious allows humanity to develop individually and gain unique cognitive patterns and thinking processes. However, these opinions can be manipulated by environmental sources, like the media. The media’s puppet strings can be used to influence the minds of the masses and control their overall thinking process. It takes away an individual’s freedom to think for themselves and form their own opinions. Manipulation is a key ingredient in attaining support for a side of an argument. News networks have this ability to twist the minds of their listeners and unconsciously force them to believe in their words. Two of the

Lillian Hellman, who wrote the Little Foxes, incorporates these elements beautifully in her play. The play is set during the spring of 1900 and takes place in the Deep South part of the United States of America. Just as every other play, the Little Foxes has included the dramatic elements in her play, particularly the plot, character, and language that all incorporate an underlying theme of greed.

    The stories are told in large chunks, and with this plus the lengthy prose, the book drags on. The verbiage I was warned about prior to picking it up exists to create an atmosphere saturated with Gothic intrigue and film noir cigarette smoke. The words themselves are wonderful, but also unnecessary, and would have been better spent on spreading out parts where Zafón tells more than he shows, such as the deus ex machina missive appearing at the end of the book.

    I know this because on the second page it stated this: “She knew he didn’t want to speak much until the first drink was finished” (177). From this, it’s clear that this might happen daily. Lastly, it is very clear to me that Mrs. Maloney is content with her husband: “and she, on her side, was content to sit quietly, enjoying his company” (177). “She loved to luxuriate in the presence of this man” (177). “She loved him for the way he sat loosely in a chair, for the way he came in a door, or moved slowly across the room with long strides. She loved the intent, far look in his eyes when they rested on her, the funny shape of the mouth, and especially the way he remained silent about his tiredness, sitting still with himself until some of it went away” (177). It is very clear to me that she is content with her husband. She enjoys his company in silence, she loves certain aspects about him, and even as you read further into the second page, she gets very worried about him. In conclusion, my first impression of Mary Maloney is that she is a patient, organized and content

    It is difficult not to read Hughes’s and Plath’s poetry in relation to each other due to their intimate relationship and their support for each other’s career during their marriage. In Plath’s journals she wrote “All my pat theories against marrying a writer dissolve with Ted: his rejections more than double my sorrow & his acceptances rejoice me more than mine,” thus showing that they shared each other’s goals in life (Hampl 1995: 4). In a BBC interview with both Hughes and Plath, Hughes said that “he and Plath have ‘a single, shared mind,’ ‘a telepathic union’ that was ‘a source of great deal’ in his poetry,” whereas Plath said that she thought “all the poems [they] wrote to each other and about each other were really before [their] marriage.”

  • Margaret Atwood's 'Happy Endings'

    She commits suicide and he ends up marrying Madge, whom he loves. In this version of the story, Mary plays the role of a traditional and stereotypical woman whose job is to “…cook him dinner” (Atwood) and to look good for him. John treats her like a prostitute, simply using her for her body and not giving her the love she needs. Regardless, she fulfills her duties as a woman and continues to nurture him, be sensitive, and be a pleasing caretaker. John, in this version, is shown as the dominant male of a traditional middle-class household. By using the terms, such as “fuck” and “ego,” Atwood is able to portray John’s dominant role (Atwood). The plot in this version is that Mary commits suicide from the heartache and John remarries and the story “continues as in A” (Atwood). Love has once again led to the death of one of the characters. In this case Mary gives up her own life because she does not receive the love that she
