You will be doing a literary analysis by discussing how a particular literary element was used in a story. use complete sentences. these sentences should give specific examples from the story that highlight your chosen literary element (from above).

For this analysis, I will discuss the concept of point of view / narration in the novel "The Sense of an Ending" (2011) by Julian Barnes. The novel tells the story of Tony Webster, a retired old man living alone that recalls how he and his former girlfriend met a friend called Adrian Finn in school, his tragic death and how their parths diverged after that.

The novel is narrated through a third-person perspective, so we see the action through Tony's point of view. This is an interesting feature because we see the events and the other characters traits through the lens of Tony and the fragmented information he has or wants to share with us. The way characters are depicted is influenced by how Tony thinks of them and how he remembers his relationship to them. This way of narrating, without having objective information, and also, discovering the important plot elements at the same time of the narrator-character, contribute to the feeling of suspense and knowing that the narrator is unreliable. Tony says: "What you end up emembering isn't always the same as what you have witnessed."

This unreliability is sown when we discover that Tony has repressed and also invented memories in order to feel better about his cations in the past and to preserve a sense of himself. There are several quotations throughout the novel that point to this feature of the limited point of view and how we, as people, also invent our memories: "How often do we tell our own life story? How often do we adjust, embellish, make sly cuts? And the longer life goes on, the fewer are those around to challenge our account, to remind us that our life is not our life, merely the story we have told about our life. Told to others, but - mainly - to ourselves."

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.

the servant does not kill the child oedipus as he was ordered to do because "he pitied the child" based on the oedipus rex story. the servant was ordered to kill the child because of the prophecy that predicted king laius' death. the king already had attempted to hurt oedipus by piercing oedipus's ankle. however, the servant did not finish the job and he rather saved the baby oedipus.
