Irvine Welsh/Stylistic Technique
[ send me this essay ]
A 5 page essay that analyzes the writing style of Irvine Welsh in 4 short episodes from Trainspotting and Acid House.

The result of Welsh's approach to storytelling creates an intriguing cultural critique because it presents the perspective of these characters without apology, allowing the reader to see them and draw their own conclusions.

Is Character A Function Of Plot Or Vice Versa?
[ send me this essay ]
6 pages in length. Wilkie Collins' "The Woman in White" surrounds itself with enough pastoral landscapes and compulsory interplay as a means by which to present what is seemingly a run-of-the-mill whodunit; however, when one delves beyond the perfunctory elements so common to conventional mystery/suspense novels, one finds the most delicious array of characters around which Collins craftily functions his plot. That he is able to utilize plot as a function of character rather than the other way around speaks volumes regarding the author's inherent talent, particularly when it has to do with his wickedly humorous insight to human conflict. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
