How to Write a Short Story by SparkNotes6/12/2023 In our example story plot, the conflict is the toad’s request and the girls’ responses to it. Plot is one of the five elements present in every story: Those are all story elements that can interweave with the story’s plot, but at its core, a plot doesn’t include them.

The Animators by Kayla Rae Whitaker6/12/2023 it’s kind of like the blowsy, dissipated older sister of Fangirl. It’s a gutsy book, very unladylike in all the ways i appreciate. this is going to be a vague review, so i don’t take any of those discoveries away from other readers. I’d heard good things about this debut through the grapevine, but i didn’t know much about its content other than the wispy buzzwords of female friendship, art and the creative process, lesbian themes… and i feel so fortunate that i went into it more or less blind, because there are big, narrative-redirecting events here, and every one of them caught me off guard and made me do that shocked-pause thing that is the closest i get to experiencing an emotional response to a book. it’s one of the most immersive books i’ve read in a long time, and i was utterly ensnared, but while i was devouring the pages, i could feel the story getting under my skin and digging into my brain where it’s going to stay for a long time. It’s like one of those carnivorous plants that secretes a delicious sticky nectar to lure in its prey which, once adhered, can be feasted upon at the plant’s leisure.

Cardozo analysed the role of style in judicial opinions, arguing that the voice of authority can speak with “supreme literary excellence” (1925: 699). In 1908 Wigmore provided an annotated list of law-related novels which, he claimed, reflected or indeed contributed to legal reforms and provided lawyers with an essential insight into human nature, an ethical approach which was to become an enduring feature of L&L studies. While the use of contemporary specialised popular fiction (novels, films, TV series, video games, etc.) in LSP 2 has attracted considerable research interest in France and elsewhere since the identification and codification of a relatively new genre known as fiction à substrat professionnel (FASP), 3 this paper seeks to go a step further, exploring possible convergences between ESP and the Law and Literature (L&L) movement.Ģ The genesis of L&L is generally traced back to two eminent US jurists in the early 20th century: John Henry Wigmore, famous for his work on evidentiary law, and Benjamin Cardozo, a Supreme Court judge. 3 See the inceptive article by Petit (1999), a French linguist and ESP specialist.ġ In a departure from mainstream ELP 1 studies and their primary focus on the language of the law, this paper is situated in the broader perspective of French ESP studies, which reflects the dominantly academic background of ESP in France and other Continental European countries. 2 LSP: Languages for Specific Purposes.

Our duty is to uncover it and to point our finger at any of its new instances - every day, in every part of the world.” Ur-Fascism can come back under the most innocent of disguises. “It would be so much easier for us,” wrote Umberto Eco in his 1995 essay Eternal Fascism “if there appeared on the world scene somebody saying, ‘I want to reopen Auschwitz, I want the Blackshirts to parade again in the Italian squares.’ Life is not that simple.
