Stylistic analysis.
On the day that E.M. Forster died by A.S. Byatt.
The text I would like to analyze is “On the day that E.M. Forster died” written by A.S. Byatt. Dame Antonia Susan Duffy, DBE, known as A. S. Byatt is an English novelist, poet and Booker Prize winner. In 2008, The Times newspaper named her on its list of the 50 greatest British writers since 1945.
This text is social genre because the author describe social, professional spheres of life with the help of such vocabulary as: art, novel, plots and so on.
The types of writing are narration and digression.
The basic theme is I think love of writing.
The by-theme are relation in the family, love to art.
The tone of the text is objective because the story is given in the third person singular.
Let me analyze the composition of the story. The story has a title “On the day that E.M. Forster died”. The exposition of the story starts with date and describing place of event (on a summer day in 1970; London Library). The beginning starts when she sat and wrote about her ideas. The development proper is number of ideas Mrs Smith. “She could have said at any time that of course all her ideas were part of a whole, they were all hers, limited by her history, sex, language, class, education, body and energy”. This text hasn’t climax and denouement. The ending starts when “she put pen to paper then, and noted the connections she saw between the disparate plots, the developments that seemed so naturally to come to all of them”.
I am going to analyze main character of the story Mrs Smith. She had written three brief and elegant black comedies about folly and misunderstanding in sexual relationships, she had sparred with and loved her husband, who was deeply interested in international politics and the world economy, and only intermittently interested in novels. She had three children, who were interested in the television, small animals, model armies, other small children, the sky, death and

    One significant facet of Smith’s character is the fact that her story holds the family accountable for their actions. Each of them, in one way or another, played a part in a sequence of events that led to her eventual demise. The Inspector, who took on a role similar to one of a judge in a courtroom, says she was a “pretty, lively sort of girl, who never did anybody any harm.” Furthermore, he highlights that her promising life was brought to an abrupt halt, given the “nasty mess somebody’s made of it.”…

    Firoozeh Dumas' essay, "The F-Word," addresses the very relatable struggle every person with an ethnic name faces in the American culture. Her prime example being herself, Dumas humorously and realistically depicts the trauma a person endures from constantly having to educate people about your name. She also uses the names of her siblings to provide a comparison of the names' meaning in Persian versus their American mispronunciations. Dumas' seamless use of analogies, word choice and quotations assists in her goal of making the reader understand and sympathize with her frustration.…

    Despite what many people may think, relationships are not the key to a happy life. This misconception exists today in order to support the idea of investing in relationships with friends, family, coworkers, or even love-interests; however, living according to this misconception causes people a tremendous amount of sorrow and frustration. Often times individuals let those around them hurt them to merely maintain or restore a relationship. Relationships are supposed to be a mutual “give and take” association between two or more persons, but it appears that the torment and anxiety caused by relationships forces individuals to “give” a little more than they can “take.” Using distinct rhetorical strategies, several unique authors reveal this disheartening…

    At the Gym, written by Mark Doty; has no relation with being at the gym at all; metaphorically speaking it pertains to attending church. The narrative provided is from the author's observation of other people in the church.

    “There were not six million Jews murdered; there was one murder, six million times.” said the Holocaust survivor Abel Herzberg. (Herzberg) Holocaust was the most terrific event in the history of civilization that comprised genocides of Jews, physically disabled, homosexual and gypsies, in death camps. Elie goes through torture and terror and is treated as animals like other Jews. Elie doesn’t see any hope of light coming to his life which is dark and unpredictable as Night. Night is a memoir inscribed by Elie talking about the dreadful incident, his relationship with his father and how he lost his faith in God. It is endured with sorrow, horror and sufferings. Revolted by the torture he must sustain, Elie questions if God really exists, “Why, but why should I bless him? Because he in his great might, had created Auschwitz, Birkenau, Buna, and so many other factories of death? (67). Elie’s faith is devastated and shaken. He has changed from how he was as a child. Holocaust changes him as a person, takes away his interest in religion, makes him loose his faith, fills him with hatred and changes his view towards the Lord.…

Consider family, friends, classmates, and instructors in your response I believe my tone and writing style will change considerably when speaking family, friends, classmates and instructors.
