through about three chapters I began to get bored from an obvious lack of plot and the jumpy different perspectives of the main characters. Along with that I noticed that transitions between chapters were ineffectual, if not nonexistent. The author of this story, , chose to work in old English in order to enhance the historical fiction aspect of the book. Normally I would fully support, creative enhancements of a story’s plot, but instead of enhancing the language, using old English only bogged…
probably guess the basic plot line and the ending. You know that the stepmother will be evil, she will try to hurt and/or kill the princess, who will undoubtable be saved by a prince on a gallant steed, and they will rid off into the sunset living happily ever after. How do you know this is going to happen? Why is it that with one sentence you feel like you have already read the story? It is because you have. Literature is filled with examples of the same characters and the same plot lines. This…
wrote The Poetics as a teaching outline for what makes a good tragedy- in terms of structure. Aristotle describes that tragedy is an imitation of action rather than the people performing them.

The 2009 movie Avatar, directed by James Cameron, exhibits multiple archetypes that propel the plot through two separate subplots. Avatar is set in a distant planet known as Pandora. It is inhabited by the Native people (Na’vi), as well as humans who are after a rare and valuable metal only found on this planet. The humans develop Avatars, which…
the six elements; plot, character, diction, thought, spectacle, and song, shown in some form throughout the movie, although, Aristotle says that plot and character are primary, so those will be the two elements of focus.

The first element that Aristotle says is essential to a Greek tragedy is plot. Aristotle says that the plot in a tragedy,…
point of views, to the importance of the characters throughout the plot. But most importantly, the views that readers can assume the authors have on matters of life, such as tragedy and death that are present throughout life; which also leads to ideas upon human nature in relation to goodness.

is a tragic love story, it is also a perfect and irresistible fantasy” (Scott par 10). This shows that even though the movie seems sad there is still a “perfect and irresistible” plot to the romance.
