  • A Critical Analysis of John Demos' The Unredeemed Captive

    262 Words  | 1 Pages

    John Demos’s “the Unredeemed Captive” is a story about a man named John Williams, and his five children who were captured by Indians during a war in 1704. John Williams and his children are eventually released, but much to his disappointment, his youngest daughter Eunice remained with her captors, and married an Indian man. This story has a captivating storyline, and makes for a very compelling narrative. In this paper I will attempt to make a critical analysis of John Demos’s work. The major areas I am looking at are the evolution or the piece, from beginning to end, what the major sections of the book are and how they flow together, and how this work is and isn’t a conventional narrative.

The film and novel have their similarities and differences, but both effectively communicate their meaning to the public.

    ...ets in Heaven. In the story, the father’s “tough love” sometimes is very ugly indeed, but the “tough love” is still not the thing of anachronism in the real world. Overall, I feel that the adaptation illustrates a high fidelity to its inspiration, and the book gives the readers more details and the time to ponder while the movie gives the audience direct visual impression and easier storyline to adhere to. The both versions of “The Five People You Meet in Heave,” the novel and the movie, are mutually enriched, beneficial, and supplementary to each other, and are ultimately the quintessence of masterpieces selected carefully by our amiable professor, Tracy Virgil.

    1137 Words  | 3 Pages

    In Mary Rowlandson, “A Captivity Narrative”, Rowlandson recounts her experiences as a captive of the Wampanoag tribe. The tribe took captives from Lancaster in 1676 because of the ongoing violent altercations between the English colonists and Native Americans during King Philip’s War. Since many of the Native Americans brethren had fallen in battle, they saw it fit to take English folk captive and use them to take the place of their fallen brethren, trading/ransom pieces, or killing them in revenge. This was becoming a common practice for the Native Americans to attack villages and in result, some English started fleeing the area or started to retaliate. Rowlandson was a Puritan wife and mother, in her

  • The Unredeemed Captive Summary

    The unredeemed captive, is an instant classic written by John Putnam Demos in 1994. the story follows a young individual names Eunice Williams right in the middle of a seemingly endless conflict between New England colonist, and the indigenous Indian tribes. The story revolves around stereotypes and the justified hatred the colonists had. These themes and more will be covered but all with the overall inspection of his work, by which I mean is this a success full way to give history to an audience. Some might say its a more approachable way to teach history to an audience that needs to have their attention kept; while others would say that its historical FICTION and should be treated as such, and the only true method is through logistic straight

  • Rhetorical Analysis Of American Captivity Narrative

    1468 Words  | 3 Pages

    At its most basic level, the American Captivity Narrative is a biographical or autobiographical account of an individual’s captivity at the hands of the Native Americans. Though understood to be an accurate account of the individual’s experience, these narratives contain a number of common rhetorical features that serve to augment the emotional impact of the events described. Frequently, the customs and practices of each individual’s captors are the source of these notable occurrences. Common themes include: torture or suffering, adoption, hunting, and the sharing or discussion of spiritual beliefs. Taken as a whole, these major events weave a narrative of self-transformation. Though these texts do not typically end with the narrator converting

    Have you ever realized you’ve loved someone after it’s too late? Or perhaps you’ve been so completely engrossed in one thing and you can’t focus on anything else. In the two short stories Concerning Love by Anton Chekhov and The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, the narrators deal with these feelings. The predominant narrator in Concerning Love meets a married woman, Anna, through a friend and realizes his love for her after it is already too late. The narrator in The Yellow Wallpaper has nervous depression and is so caught up in the mysteries of the wallpaper of her room that everything else in her life seems distorted. Both stories tell of two very different lives however, the characters, setting of the story have many striking similarities and differences as well.

    Personal writing can take several forms, descriptive and narrative being two examples. The two essays, "I Want a Wife" by Judy Brady and "Sister Flowers" by Maya Angelou are prime examples of such writing. Both stories were able to capture my attention and entertain me throughout their entirety. Choosing a preference is always going to be subjective; it is all a matter of how you like to take in information. In fact, personal choice is what inclines you towards a certain title as opposed to another. Some may like to envision their own details, while some rather the images chronicled for them. In fact, the crystal clear details given in a descriptive essay as compared to a narrative, set the two far apart. Although narrative essays can give details without as much wording, the vivid pictures painted by a descriptive essay such as "Sister Flowers" is a superior read since the details make the story come alive.
