Despite the large numbers of online readers, most of them still prefer to print out the information and read it in hard copy (Liu & Huang, 2007, p.12). in general readers with larger documents prefer…
Nevertheless we are encouraged in Atonement to take sides, partly because the narrator turns out to have been part of the story, and is therefore partial.

What makes you think the “atonement” Briony Tallis seeks may be inaccurate? Interviewer: Well after reading the epilogue we learn that Briony never actually saw Robbie and…
