Play Critique Essay

The main idea of this play, ‘The Voice of Turtles’ was finding truth and comfort in love despite the difficulties. That sounds similar to the main idea of my 1st critique’s play, ‘Romeo & Juliet’ but compare to that, this play was lighter and softer. This play took its setting in the main character Sally Middleton’s (Kate Woodruff) apartment in New York City, in 1943, and it was displayed well through their comforts and passionate times in the apartment. There were three characters in the play: Sally Middleton, Olive Lashbrooke, Bill Page. Sally Middleton was played by an actress named Kate Woodruff, and she was the only character who was in the beginning and the end. First, she started as a girl who had a little knowledge about things in this world, but as she met Bill and spent more and more time with him, she began to realize certain things and eventually acknowledges her true love, Bill. Kate Woodruff’s acting style expressing obtuseness and vulnerability perfectly fitted with Sally. However, Bill Page, who was performed by Jim Felton, was not developed well enough to capture the audience. I understood that Bill was the character who was optimistic and learned a lot through his experiences during the WWII, but he was not sharp enough to express that â€Å"well-experienced soldier† type of a guy. I could feel that he became more lovable and passionate towards the end, but it seemed like he didn’t fully understand his character. But Olive Lashbrooke, who was played by Lisa Perez, was another well developed character. She was the only character who had a major switch in her attitude in the middle of the play because she had a suspicion about the relationship between her friend Sally and â€Å"ex-lover† Bill. However, Lisa Perez does it really well with the consistent in the character by clearly displaying arrogant and flirtatious behaviors, and that consistent also gave reliability to the audience. The plot of play expanded with the timeline of late afternoon Friday to Sunday night, and although it was a short period of time, the story was comprehensibly displayed. It started with a basic idea that Bill and Olive were seeing each other, but Olive broke up with him at Sally’s house when he comes over, so Olive left her house. Bill had no one to spend time with and Sally was available so two of them spent time together. Olive became  suspicious about the relationship between Sally and Bill, so she visits Sally tries to win Bill back but Bill denies. Bill fell in love with Sally, who was unsure about the relationship. But Bill convinced her to work together in their relationship and Sally agrees at the end. Considering that happy end, there were few situations where it displayed opposite signs that their relationship might not work. There was a scene where Olive tried to interrupt the relationship between Sally and Bill, which caused Sally to think their relationship might be bad for her friendship with Olive. Also Sally was tired of promiscuous life and did not want to involve deeply with Bill. These situations made the play more appealing, which all worked out well at the end. The setting of the play, which was Sally’s apartment, helped her character to be more understandable. As I mentioned above, in the beginning part of the play, Sally started as a girl who had a little knowledge about this world, and this apartment setting made it looked like she spends most of her time in her apartment. Also it was her apartment that created an environment to be comforter and more honest for Sally. There was an emotional change of Olive when she became suspicious about the relationship between Sally and Bill, and in the scene where she came back to win Bill back, Olive wore an awful fur clothes. In many plays and films, fur clothes are usually wore by greedy and deceptive women and that costume added more to Olive’s characteristic. It was an interesting thing to see because they were explaining her characteristic through costume rather than words. Just like Olive’s costume, all other features of the play worked together very well to support the play. For example, the light, which shined on Bill’s face when he looked out the window, was supposed to be the moonlight, and it was amazing. He could just act like he was looking out the window, but when that light shined on his face, it just made me to think that I was in the apartment. Also the warm light on the set tied the apartment together and created a cozy feeling. I felt performances of Sally and Olive were great but not Bill’s performance. Most of the time, Sally—performed by Kate Woodruff—looked comfortable and I  think she intended to do that because the setting was her apartment. Her actions, such as the way she sit on her couch, cooking in the kitchen, and even her walks all seemed like what a woman in 20’s would be at home. Also when she was listening to Sally and Bill saying what happened outside of the apartment,—which is this world—she expressed her curiosity and interests with her facial expressions such as her eyes getting bigger and blinking her eyes quickly. Those performances told us that she had a lot to experience and learn from this world. On the other hand, Olive—performed by Lisa Perez—experienced a lot outside of the apartment, and used the high-pitched voice that helped her cocky and funny character. However the performance of Bill—played by Jim Felton—was not enough to express the character and generate interests. He was trying hard but I just could not sympathize with his lines. But overall, it was a good play. The audiences’ seats were so close to the stage and I really enjoyed being close to the characters.

Counselling Skills Essay

The counselling process is based on the exchange of emotions between the client and the counsellor which aims to form an alliance (Hough, 1998). It involves the counsellor using skills in which they possess in order to communicate effectively with clients (Hough, 1998). This reflective essay clearly articulates my application of counselling skills used in this practice session and suggestions for improvement. It will provide a summary of the session, identification of a range of skills used and a brief explanation of the reasons for using the skill. It will also provide an evaluation of my application of the skills chosen, including verbatim examples, suggestions for improvement, also including verbatim examples to demonstrate what could have been said or done and an overall reflection of my effectiveness as a counsellor and the implications for future reference. My client met with me for 20 minutes to discuss an issue she had based on her sense of balance in relation to her study and other commitments. She felt it wasn’t going very well and she came to counselling to talk about strategies that would make her life easier. During the session I tried to demonstrate skills learnt in counselling skills 1 and 2. The skills that I reflect on include non verbal communication, development of rapport, active listening, paraphrasing and open ended questions. My use of non verbal communication was effective as I greeted my client with a positive hand shake and a smile to ensure security when entering the room. I feel I succeeded in my active listening skills as I demonstrated my listening through non verbal eye contact and nodding. I paraphrased my client’s statements effectively to demonstrate my understanding of her issue. However, I feel I needed to decrease the amount of times I stroked my hair and used negative expressions to ensure my security and confidence towards my client. I also needed to be aware of how I asked my open ended questions by excluding questions beginning with the word ‘why’. Finally I needed to be clear and concise when terminating and reflecting on the session. At the beginning of the counselling session, I tried to adopt an open and positive attitude towards my client. I demonstrated this by employing the use of non verbal communication to assist in the creation of the joining relationship. Non verbal communication refers to communication without words (DeVito, 2010). Joining with a client refers to a meaningful and constructive relationship that has developed with a counsellor and a client (Armstrong, 2006). The most crucial part of the joining process occurs within the first 60 seconds of meeting the client (Armstrong, 2006). Within seconds of meeting my client, I greeted her with a positive hand shake and a smile. As a counsellor moves towards the client to greet them, this will in some way affect their feelings towards the counsellor and their confidence inside them (Geldard & Geldard, 2001). I decided to use non verbal messages towards my client to ensure comfort when entering a new environment. I also thought by demonstrating these messages I would establish a sense of rapport. Rapport refers to the harmonious communication between a client and their counsellor (Hough, 1998). By using the usual person-to-person encounter, expressing equality, I thought my client would feel secure when ready to communicate. It was effective as she responded with the usual positive hand shake and smile. Further along in the session, I felt I was using a skill known as active listening. Active listening refers to the observation of the client’s non verbal behaviour as well as the understanding of their verbal content and meaning (Hough, 1998). I demonstrated this through verbal and non verbal communication. I tried to monitor her feedback and secured my attention with the use of my focused eye communication. Eye contact is considered to be an expression of genuineness and honesty and when glancing directly at one’s face; this demonstrates a high interest in the interaction (DeVito, 2010). I was nodding when my client was explaining her issue and I made use of minimal expressions. A good way to let a client know you are listening is by the use of minimal responses including expressions and non verbal responses that occur in our everyday conversations (Geldard & Geldard, 2001). For example at the beginning of the session my client said â€Å"†¦ , Sometimes I feel I choose my job or something else in my life over my uni†¦ † I replied by nodding and made use of the expression â€Å"Mm-hmm†. I demonstrated this skill to allow the client to speak without interruptions and to verbally express my interest in her issue. Another skill I used within this session is a technique also known as paraphrasing. Paraphrasing refers to stating in one’s own words what they think the client means helping to ensure their understanding and interest in the client (DeVito, 2010). I felt that I demonstrated this when the client said â€Å"As the term progresses I get lazier, but at the beginning of the semester I am productive, and it feels rewarding when I do, do well nd I feel better about myself and everyone is proud of me as well when I get the results and stuff, but there’s this thing that comes into my mind that said I can’t do this and maybe I start rethinking about staying in uni and I start considering dropping it, so I can have more free time. † I reply by saying â€Å"Ok so you are saying that it is kind of a relief when the work is done, however you are finding it hard to kind of keep up, and maybe you don’t have the will power or the drive to continue this planning all the way through the semester. † The client replied saying â€Å"Ye that’s right†¦ I demonstrated this skill to ensure the meaning of my client’s statement was true, resulting in a positive response. During the session I noticed I demonstrated a hair stroking gesture. According to Eunson (2008) the hair stroking gesture is a shorthand way of showing insecurity. I felt that I was feeling a bit nervous at the beginning of the session only due to the recording taking place. I need to be self aware about how I come across to the speaker and how the speaker interprets my non verbal behaviour (Brems, 2001). For future reference, to allow the speaker to discern easily, I need to decrease hand gestures. Moreover, I found when I was communicating verbally I would use an insecure expression such as â€Å"umm†¦ † a number of times during the session. I was a little nervous at the beginning; however as the session progressed my use of that expression did decrease demonstrating I was feeling more confident in what I was saying and through the positive responses from my client. In time and through experience, this feeling will pass as I grow and develop, however I will need to hide my feelings so I can build a stronger relationship with my client. In addition, I found I made use of open ended questions throughout the session. Open ended questions explore the clients issue in greater depth (Hough, 1998). I demonstrated this when I asked â€Å"What is it that makes you feel that you can’t do it? † My client was then able to explore her reasons for the word â€Å"cant† by responding â€Å"I don’t know, I just feel when the term progresses I get lazier†¦ † I feel this allowed her to explore her main area in relation to her issue. However, later on in the session I asked â€Å"Why do you think you can’t continue this behaviour for the rest of the semester? According to Geldard & Geldard (2001) in response to such questions clients tend to look for an intellectually thought out response, rather than centring on what is occurring internally. To allow the client to elaborate for future reference I could ask â€Å"What is it that is stopping you from continuing this behaviour all the way through the semester? † During the session I tried to help my client develop a strategy for enabling a better future. Strategies are actions that help clients to accomplish their goals (Egan, 2010). When my client said â€Å"†¦ I feel it may also be that I am worried about coming home and doing my work on the computer and getting headaches and migraines†¦ † I asked my client â€Å"Have you ever considered checking your eyes at the optometrist? † She replied by saying â€Å"Yea I have†¦ and they said everything is alright†¦ † I then replied â€Å"Let’s try to explore some other options here, how about instead of using the computer all the time, maybe you can try and print out all of your readings for the semester, rather than using the computer as your resource, use writing pads and paper†¦ She responded by saying â€Å"That’s a good idea actually, it’s funny that you said that because at the beginning of the semester†¦ I spent time at the library printing off all my readings and all my learning guides and I sort of bound them professionally so then I can be organised†¦ but I didn’t think of it in the context of not being on the computer to help with my migraines†¦ † When exploring options with my client I found it was effective as she agreed with the new strategy and said she had put it in place for other reasons, however it made her realise it was a useful tool for this issue. Moreover, I attempted to conclude the session by specifying a time and reflecting on what was discussed, however I feel I didn’t end the session well and my closing statement wasn’t clear. I ended the session by saying â€Å"We have a couple of minutes left; I hope we can continue this in the next coming session, but I hope we have kind of resolved something today. We have had our options open with the prioritising thing, at least we know now that it is about prioritising, so we need to try and structure that and say this is my first priority†¦ nd once that is stuck in your head then hopefully we can progress and next time after you try these strategies at home and it still isn’t working then we can fall back on ways in which you can open up your time†¦ † It is sometimes important for the counsellor to provide a summary of the information discussed by the client to serve as a natural ending (Geldard & Geldard, 2001). Prior to concluding the session I felt another topic was introduced too late when the client said â€Å"That’s been really helpful, maybe we just find a way to prioritise my stuff† I replied by saying â€Å"†¦ With prioritising, in your life what is highest on your list? † It is important to avoid introducing new subjects at this stage, and if the client introduces a different topic or to extend the topic, schedule this for discussion in the next session (Hough, 1998). I could have ended the session without appearing intrusive or insensitive if I said â€Å"We have ten minutes left. Maybe we could look at what you have said so far, and highlight any points which you would like to talk about in your next session. † I feel this would have given a more clear termination to the session and would have provided a clear and concise summary. Upon reflection of the session, I believe my strengths lie in my ability to develop and maintain rapport. This was evident when I greeted the client using verbal and non verbal communication skills. I demonstrated a non verbal hand shake and smile to ensure my client’s comfort and security when entering a new environment. I believe my strengths also lie in the use of active listening. I demonstrated this through the use of non verbal eye contact and nodding when the client was speaking and through the use of paraphrasing. My learning edge is to be able to sit comfortably without too many hair stroking gestures and insecure verbal expressions to allow the client to feel that she isn’t being disturbed. Finally I need to ensure I conclude my session demonstrating a clear termination and concise summary. In conclusion, during the session I used a range of skills learnt in counselling skills 1 and 2. I demonstrated the use of a non verbal handshake and smile when greeting my client ensuring security and the establishment of rapport. I was able to demonstrate active listening when nodding and maintaining eye contact. I condensed my client statements showing my true understanding when paraphrasing. However, I needed to ensure I decreased insecure verbal and non verbal expressions to ensure the comfort of my client. I also felt I needed to choose the correct way in asking an open ended question, without using the word ‘why’ demonstrating my initial focus on her issue alone. Lastly I needed to correctly conclude my session by clearly and concisely summarising my client’s issue.

Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been by Joyce Carol...

Joyce Carol Oates’ â€Å"Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?† is a modern interpretation of the classic narrative of evil tempting innocence. Oates’ version of the devil allegory combines this Christian model of temptation with contemporary secular society. Connie is a pretty fifteen year-old girl, beginning the process of maturation into adulthood. She begins to become aware of her ability to act of her own volition, but her naivete renders her ignorant to Arnold Friend’s layers of deception. Connie’s blindness is the pretext of her loss of innocence and subsequent fall from grace. Connie plays with the idea of adulthood, but at fifteen, she is still too young for her actions to be deemed acceptable by her parents so†¦show more content†¦Connie uses the faceless boys to live out her childish delusions of romance and allows herself to be swept away by this singular sentimental idea. The naivete of her lived fantasies expose her youthful innocence, much like that of Adam and Eve before their temptation by the serpent. Connie’s encounter with Arnold Friend is the representation of innocence being tempted by evil and sin. Arnold Friend first attempts to coax Connie out of her house for a joyride by trying to charm her, much like the serpent appeals to Eve. Arnold Friend’s presentation of himself is layered with falsities, and Connie is initially blinded by his deceptiveness. He wears metallic sunglasses that hide his age, but in her vanity Connie is more concerned that she cannot see what he is looking at; she is unable to interpret his opinion of her. Connie only cares about how Arnold Friend sees her and does not realize that she cannot see him or his motives. Arnold Friend’s attempts to hide his age are evident by his hiccups in trendiness. On his car a phrase that has already gone out of style is written, and in an effort to remember a contemporary expression, he runs through all that he can remember. He is also deceitful in the basic aspect of his physicality -- he stuffs his boots to appear taller and stands, â€Å"so stifflyShow MoreRelated Joyce Carol Oates Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?1539 Words   |  7 PagesJoyce Carol Oates Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?   Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Joyce Carol Oates was born in 1938 in Lockport, New York.

Compare And Contrast Packer And Due Process - 1793 Words

The idea of this paper is to ultimately compare Packer s two Models of the Criminal Justice System: The Due Process Model, and Crime Control Model to a popular movie of our choice. I chose the the movie, The Lincoln Lawyer, directed by Brad Furman. My goal is to be able to show how the movie and the Packer reading matchup. In this paper, I am comparing how the main character, Mickey Haller, uses both Due Process and the Crime Control Models of the criminal justice system. Mick Haller is a defense attorney, who is faced with many difficult decisions involving the cases he is a part of during the film. In the movie, Mick uses ideas that come from both models of the criminal justice system. I will then talk about how Mick originally feels†¦show more content†¦Therefore they will most likely be guilty. This is called the presumption of guilt, and according to Packer (1964), â€Å"The presumption of guilt allows the Crime Control Model to deal efficiently with large numbers. The supposition is that the screening processes operated by police and prosecutors are reliable indicators of probable guilt†(11). To get out of a case, the defendant either has to plead guilty to get less time in prison, or there has to be enough evidence presented to prove the innocence of the accused person. Packers Due Process Model is much different than his Crime Control Model. According to Packer (1964), â€Å"If the Crime Control Model resembles an assembly line, the Due Process Model looks very much like an obstacle course† (13). The Due Process model focuses much more on the rights of victims than the Crime Control Model does. It is focused around the premise of the innocent until proven guilty side of court cases. Defendants feel that everyone deserves a fair trial, and every defendant should have all of their rights under the Bill of Rights. They also feels that the powers of police officers should be much less than what the Crime Control Model does. Meaning that just because someone is arrested, it does not mean that they are guilty. The Due Process Model is also a lot longer process than the Crime Control Model.

Homemade Education free essay sample

Education Malcolm X was a moving motivational speaker. He was able to speak and have the whole world listen. The way he dictates his words within his speech, would make you think he was very educated and probably had a college degree. The truth is Malcolm X only finished school through the eighth grade. In his book â€Å"Prison Studies†, Malcolm X confesses that most of his education was retrieved while serving in prison. I believe that his â€Å"homemade education†, laid the pavement for his major accomplishments in life. If Malcolm X did not have the motivation to progress his education, then I believe he would have chosen the life of a criminal instead of a motivational speaker. In the beginning of his prison stay Malcolm X confesses his jealousy for the other inmates who could read. He states in his book, â€Å"Bimbi made me feel envy of his stock of knowledge. We will write a custom essay sample on Homemade Education or any similar topic specifically for you Do Not WasteYour Time HIRE WRITER Only 13.90 / page Bimbi had always taken charge of any conversation he was in, and I tried to emulate him. But every book I picked up had few sentences which didn’t contain anywhere from one to nearly all of the words that might as well have been Chinese. Malcolm X wanted to read and learn about the world. He requested a dictionary, tablets and a pen and began to write the dictionary page for page. After the first night of writing he discovered that he soaked up a lot of information, more than he ever thought he could. This went on and on until he had completed the whole dictionary. After his dictionary studies ended Malcolm X started to pick up books and actually understood what he read. For the first time in his life he was actually learning without being terribly confused. His new found talent gave Malcolm X a sense of freedom; he felt the world was his to take. He started checking out a lot of books from the prison library. Because he was known as an avid reader, he was able to check out more than the average inmate. He read from morning until night, he enjoyed his alone time with his books that took him to another city, country, or even another world. He spent most of his reading time in the small cell he was assigned. He even went on to say that time passed so quickly he wasn’t even aware that he was imprisoned for most of the time. He believed that his education from prison well exceeded the education he would have obtained in college. He thought there were too many distractions for college students. Prison became a class room for Malcolm X. Because of his studies in prison Malcolm X was able to have educational conversations that he only dreamed about before his stay in prison. Reading awoke an urge inside of him; a craving to be mentally alive. Malcolm X left prison with a new outlook on life. He decided he was going to take a different road than his family did in the past; he was going to live in his father’s legacy and fight against the white man. Without Malcolm X’s experience in prison, I believe his life would have taken a different path. Maybe the path of crime, or maybe just a simple job where he raised his own family in the type of setting he was raised in. He pressed against what was said to be normal for the black man, and made a big impact while doing so. Malcolm x’s story will forever be taught. And will serve as an inspiration for many.

The famous Novel Essay Example For Students

The famous Novel Essay The famous Novel the hounds of the Baskerville was written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, he was very popular in late 19th century all the way up to now. His books were published in the weekly magazine the Strand and proved to be loved by most Victorians since hes main character, Sherlock Holmes, a private detective proved to be far more competent than the police force. Especially since it was a time were notorious murderers such as jack the ripper, it was a time were you put your own life at risk just by going out to the pub after a long days of work , therefore a justice force that could actually solve crimes made the population feel reassured and secure. We will write a custom essay on The famous Novel specifically for you for only $16.38 $13.9/page Order now To engage the reader, Arthur Conan Doyle uses many different technique and methods. The first method are his characters, especially his 2 main characters- Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson. Holmes is famous for his intellectual prowess, and is renowned for his skillful use of deductive reasoning, observation to solve difficult cases and in some way his arrogance for example on the bottom of page 6 and top of page 7Recognizing, as I do , that you are the second highest expert in Europe Indeed ,sir ! May I inquire who has the honors to be the first? asked Holmes, with some asperity. . But Dr Watson isnt as clever but more down to earth, less unpredictable, sympathetic and buffoon like. We could say that they balance each other out. Also Watson has another important role; Arthur Conan Doyle uses him to narrate the book. Most other characters in the hound of the Baskerville are nowhere near as detailed in human terms as Holmes and Watson .Some such as Mr. Frankland, Laura Lyons and inspector Lestrade, are quite shadowy figures. The remaining characters are shown in rather more detail such as Dr Mortimer who is described by Holmes as strange, peering, absent minded and at the beginning they are some speculation of him being involved in the murders of Charles Baskerville and that lead on to another method used by Arthur Conan Doyle .It is called Red herring , it is when one particular character is described or emphasized in a way that seems to throw suspicion upon that character as the person who committed the crime: later, it develops that someone else is the guilty party. And that is used a lot for example Barrymore, the Baskerville hall housekeeper is one of the first suspect of the book since a man with a big black bushy beard is seen following Dr Mortimer and Sir Henry Baskerville. Holmes then talks about it to Mortimer who only has one reference-Barrymore. He is then later in the book heard walking around the house at night and the weeping of his wife make him a very suspicious character. He is then followed by Watson and Sir Henry which surprise him doing light signals across the moor. The next morning he is interrogated by Sir Henry, he says that he is signaling to Seldon an escape convict from the high security prison of the moor and notorious for the Nottinghill murders, he then appears to be Mrs. Barrymore brother which then become clear the reason why shes crying at night . She worried about her brother alone on the treacherous Moore and thats why he sends signal to know the position of Seldon to place some food and clothing Another method used by Arthur Conan Doyle is Pathetic fallacy. And thats when the atmosphere of the chapter echos into the environment i.e. If there a cold rainy weather the atmosphere isnt happy and jolly and the other around, there arent going to be someone dying on a bright sunny day where the sky is blue and colorful flowers everywhere.  He also uses cliffhangers; He does this at the end of nearly every chapter to encourage the reader to buy the next issue he does this by leaving the main characters in a precarious or difficult situation or by introducing new characters and new clues. A good example is chapters 1 were Mortimer is introduced for the first time at the end of the chapter. .u573a07e716ecffb787c9ab96051312f9 , .u573a07e716ecffb787c9ab96051312f9 .postImageUrl , .u573a07e716ecffb787c9ab96051312f9 .centered-text-area { min-height: 80px; position: relative; } .u573a07e716ecffb787c9ab96051312f9 , .u573a07e716ecffb787c9ab96051312f9:hover , .u573a07e716ecffb787c9ab96051312f9:visited , .u573a07e716ecffb787c9ab96051312f9:active { border:0!important; } .u573a07e716ecffb787c9ab96051312f9 .clearfix:after { content: ""; display: table; clear: both; } .u573a07e716ecffb787c9ab96051312f9 { display: block; transition: background-color 250ms; webkit-transition: background-color 250ms; width: 100%; opacity: 1; transition: opacity 250ms; webkit-transition: opacity 250ms; background-color: #95A5A6; } .u573a07e716ecffb787c9ab96051312f9:active , .u573a07e716ecffb787c9ab96051312f9:hover { opacity: 1; transition: opacity 250ms; webkit-transition: opacity 250ms; background-color: #2C3E50; } .u573a07e716ecffb787c9ab96051312f9 .centered-text-area { width: 100%; position: relative ; } .u573a07e716ecffb787c9ab96051312f9 .ctaText { border-bottom: 0 solid #fff; color: #2980B9; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold; margin: 0; padding: 0; text-decoration: underline; } .u573a07e716ecffb787c9ab96051312f9 .postTitle { color: #FFFFFF; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600; margin: 0; padding: 0; width: 100%; } .u573a07e716ecffb787c9ab96051312f9 .ctaButton { background-color: #7F8C8D!important; color: #2980B9; border: none; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: none; font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 26px; moz-border-radius: 3px; text-align: center; text-decoration: none; text-shadow: none; width: 80px; min-height: 80px; background: url(https://artscolumbia.org/wp-content/plugins/intelly-related-posts/assets/images/simple-arrow.png)no-repeat; position: absolute; right: 0; top: 0; } .u573a07e716ecffb787c9ab96051312f9:hover .ctaButton { background-color: #34495E!important; } .u573a07e716ecffb787c9ab96051312f9 .centered-text { display: table; height: 80px; padding-left : 18px; top: 0; } .u573a07e716ecffb787c9ab96051312f9 .u573a07e716ecffb787c9ab96051312f9-content { display: table-cell; margin: 0; padding: 0; padding-right: 108px; position: relative; vertical-align: middle; width: 100%; } .u573a07e716ecffb787c9ab96051312f9:after { content: ""; display: block; clear: both; } READ: Denmark is a prison EssayAnother technique used is he different sentence structure. He uses long; complex sentences to slow the pace down the reader can pause and think. this is also used as it is easier to add in a description for example ( pg100) the extract from my private diary which forms the last chapter has bought my narrative up to the 18th of October ,a time where these strange events began to move swiftly towards their terrible conclusion. He the uses short sentences to create suspense reader That night he looted there (pg25) its short and makes a point.  Therefore my conclusion is that Sir Arthur Conan Doyle engages the reader by using a mix of different techn iques to try and create suspense which is engaging so my conclusion is , if you want to engage the reader you have to create suspense
