The mere arrangement of these images has a direct impact on the way we experience and interact with a space, which is explicitly in conjunction with the discipline of cinema.

One night Dorothy received a telegram saying that the gnome died. Sadly, Dorothy couldn’t handle this mentally so she too died. In this story there

Using Narrative to Interpret Medicine Narratives, even those that are nonfiction, are incapable of being a chronicle of unbiased facts. Instead, authors use tools to compose a reality for the reader, which undeniably affects how the story is interpreted. This is demonstrated by Oliver Sacks’ book The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat in the chapter “The Lost Mariner,” in which the doctor describes one of his patients, Jimmie, who suffers from Korsakov’s syndrome.

We settled in with our coats as blankets and our smuggled in Diet Cokes tucked in the cupholders. The title rose onto the screen, and we began to watch the film The Edge of Seventeen.

First person narrative expresses a point of view giving the greatest sense of identity of the character. People are all different. Different colours, religions, different morals and beliefs, and maybe most important different perspectives on the world. In both The Catcher in the Rye & in The Kite Runner the male protagonist tells the course of events from their perspective, and their role as narrator has a significant impact on the novels In both The Catcher in the Rye, and The Kite Runner, first
