Jane Eyre Test Of Time

The novel “The perks of being a wallflower” by Stephen Chbosky is a short but enticing novel about the life of a boy named Charlie. The novel is written in a first person narrative and similar style to that of “The Catcher in the Rye” by J. D. Salinger and the readers get to experience a life changing year with Charlie. The author, Stephen Chbosky uses cultural and literary references throughout the novel to deepen the meaning of the themes in his book, they allow the reader to perceive Charlie’s experience as a teenage boy enduring life’s challenges and adapting to life. The allusions also allow the reader to more deeply comprehend the setting and time period of the novel, the songs and films are very much interlocked with the culture of the 90’s and therefore with Chbosky’s use of all these cultural references the readers are reaffirmed of the time setting with more understanding of what Charlie discovers in his coming of age. Coming of age is a very significant theme in this particular novel.

When asked to write a comparison essay between “The Things They Carried” by Tim O’Brien and “Jane Eyre” by Charlotte Bronte, one could wonder how that was possible. While both novels were intriguing, their plot lines were rather different. Tim O’Brien wrote about his experience in Vietnam and his time as a soldier – although he makes the reader question the believability of the entire book. Charlotte Bronte, on the other hand, wrote an autobiography about Jane Eyre, a young girl who grew up in Europe and experienced personal conflicts throughout the novel. If a reader were to analyze both stories, they would find more differences than similarities.

so I think it is more challenged to Charlie. I can’t figure it out how Charlie deal with this so I become interested what happens next and read more.

The three stories to be discussed in this essay are “The Bouquet” by Charles W. Chesnutt, “The Yellow Wallpaper” by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, and “Gimpel the Fool” by Isaac Bashevis Singer. It’s interesting to dissect these pieces of literature to see how they reflect the time period they were written in, by whom they were written, and if the stories they read have any abnormalities outside what is expected. So first up is “The Bouquet”; I sympathized mainly for the young girl named Sophie. Society’s faults stunted her growth as an individual, and kept her from bonding with those she desired relations.

As Charlie begins to question the expectation of society and his own identity, he begins to experience moments of empathy and self-discovery. Charlie has a primary desire to be independent which prepares readers to experience his growth. Due to Charlie and Jasper’s friendship, Charlie begins to challenge the standards and values of society which leads him to have a deep understanding of the way others think and behave. Furthermore, observation of the truth and the adult world is dominant in his journey towards self-discovery. As Charlie attempts to solve the mystery of Laura Wishart’s death, he struggles to deal with the truth and the morals of the people he surrounds himself with.

Saunders’ style of writing exudes confidence. He, like many other great writers, has gone beyond having excellent and total control of prose. Through trial and error, Saunders has mastered the art of creating an entertaining story without ever losing control of it. One can see this via his purposeful use of literary/rhetorical devices, like point of view and repetition, within his stories. As one begins to find what Saunders has hidden through these devices, one receives a jolt of satisfaction that entices one to continue reading.

In American Lit we had to read Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky , not gonna lie it was a very interesting book. This book had a lot of interesting letters but one of my favorite was when Charlie was about to have sex with Sam and he rejected her and said he wasn’t ready. He had liked her since the book of the beginning, but he had his reason as in why he wasn't ready. Charlie rejected Sam because his prior experiences with sex have been uncomfortable. One of the reasons Charlie rejected Sam was due to his past experience of watching Dave rape his girlfriend.

The spelling of certain words shows the genuine feelings and emotions of the characters in the novels set in the the 1960s with the contrast of formality. Just from this one excerpt from the novel we can notice that the fluidity of emotion in Charlie is one that almost feels nostalgic of one of our own moments in life, his use of a metaphor comparing it to “a lick of ice cream. A Flavour of grace.” Shows such a common experience for a fictional character can feel so human and genuine that it's quite an immersive experience for not just the reader but Jasper himself. As it has been such a long time since he has felt the emotion of Joy due to the circumstances him and Jasper have got themselves into, that its almost like a breath of fresh air for him and he deserves it for all the trauma he has been through.

Bronte 's Jane Eyre transcends the genres of literature to depict the emotional and character development of its protagonist. Although no overall genre dominates the novel exclusively, the vivid use of setting contributes towards the portrayal of Bronte’s bildungsroman (Realisms, 92) and defines the protagonist’s struggles as she grapples with her inner-self, and the social expectations of her gender. The novel incorporates Jane’s frequent conflicts, oppression, isolation and self-examination as she defends her identity and independence. Set amongst five separate locations, Bronte’s skilful use of literal and metaphorical landscapes, nature, and imagery, skilfully intertwines with the plot and denotes each phrase of her maturity.
