The novel is essentially a social form. It explores the condition of the human beings through the mental struggle and body language, quite before they get into action. It is like focusing on the stalking of the lion rather than pouncing upon the prey.4 (Singh: 2004, 2)
Bhagat strives to describe the mental stirrings of his human resources. His characters read the words and foresee the action. Therefore, novel is a wide-ranging literary form. It is a derivative of the Italian word ‘novella’, which means to portray a short, compact and broadly realistic story. It deals with a human character in a social situation, man as a social being. It places more weight on character, especially one attractive character, than on plot. Anita Singh highlights

He has endowed the genre with healthy comedy and optimistic approach to life. Like R. K. Narayan, he does not create Malgudi village and pick up the characters from here. He chooses the human resources from the real-life metropolis. His novels go around the lives of the youth. He exactly portrays their real-life pictures and entertains all class and cadre of people. Bhagat writes about the youth and especially for the youth. However, the people of all age groups love to read him. Everyone experiences as if Bhagat writes to him. He writes so simple that everyone likes him. It is reported that Bhagat’s Five Point Someone is set for some tribal children. Perhaps, this has happened first time in the history that an Indian English novel referred to the youth has been given to teach English, the tribal children of the primary school. First time, Bhagat has exposed the rubbish coated with pseudo wisdom-cream of the top institute of the country, IIT. Unlike Tagore and his contemporaries, Bhagat is in support of realism in art. His artistic truth lies within sensory insight. It guides his readers to achieve self-enlightenment. Unlike Tagore, Bhagat wants not only man but also truth in literature. Character is the soul of Bhagat’s novels. The plot that is the story is the second important element. So, character is prior to the plot. His novel Five Point Someone was published in 2004 and is still on peak selling list. It got him the Society Young Achiever’s Award in the year 2004 and the Publisher’s Recognition Award in the year
This novel measures the influence of an individual against human desires and the forces of nature. For example, Alexandra's relationship with the land summarizes the struggle between human desires and the larger forces than manipulate individuals.

In May-Lee Chai’s “Saving Sourdi,” Nea would be the antagonist of the story if the literary development of point of view and characterization were different. Point of view and characterization in literature is what allows us to see, hear, and feel a story the way it is designed. An author’s attention to detail is crucial. He or she may put more focus into every small element in a setting or they may emphasize more on development of plot or character. Every literary piece is different. Point of view is an essential tool in arranging the world in a story that sets itself apart. Development of character can only begin after we know from where the story is
In daily life, people encounter many concepts such as emotions, thoughts, actions, and situations. These concepts can often be categorized into two atmospheres: positive and negative. In “The Old Masters” and “The Racer,” Amit Chaudhuri and Hanif Kureishi convey their atmospheres through character relationships involving greed and symbolic ideas. Within “The Old Masters,” the reader is focused on the relationship between Pramathesh and Ranjit--two colleagues who work together--and their lives as time progresses. Throughout “The Racer,” the reader experiences the failing marriage of a husband and wife and their desire to compete in a race and win to show superiority over one another. Although Chaudhuri and Kureishi utilize symbolism,
Hence, this novel tries to be against to the government which controls the society and prevents people saying their thoughts freely. And in my opinion, this argument is justifiable claim.

Due to the way Dahl illustrates the uncertain and suspenseful mood , utilizes historical context surrounding British imperialism to develop the characters, and the repressing symbolism, which reveals the existence of racism within India, justifies that his use of style is essential. As the reader can see, Dahl’s use of uncertainty and suspense creates the mood. It leaves the reader compelled to read the story to the end. Along with that, the way the author developed the characters added a background. Finally, Dahl’s use of symbolism for each character gave the story a deeper meaning which reflects on how racism is still a thing. With having all of these
the theme is to question what the author was trying to relate to the reader.
reality, how people tend to act a certain way to please or impress people when in reality they are different. The narrator of this novel often hides who he really is because of the fear that people will react badly. He has mentioned a few times that he wants to dress like a woman some days and how he wants to be able to act feminine. He hides this part of him from the public, and even from his close friends because this is not something that is widely accepted. Jordan and the narrator keep their relationship private, with the exception of telling a few close friends, because they are afraid of what people would say or do. There is also a part in the novel where the narrator explains that his friendship with Abs has changed throughout the years, and one of the reasons is because she stopped being friends with him publicly because it “cramped her style”, which I think shows how people are sometimes so concerned with the appearance they put out to the world that they will even hurt the people they love. We also spoke about social bonds, and so far in this novel there are already a good amount of social bonds between the character. The narrator discusses his many friends, and also his romantic partners and the things that go on between these
