Ch 19 and 20 Journal (2/17/09)

Journal:
The structure creates an outline in a way for the text. The "outline" begins at each chapter and sets the stage for what is to come in that chapter. Most of the time the chapter will start off with a metaphor, or motif, etc. bringing the reader in. At times the metaphors or motifs at the beginnings of the chapters don't quite make sense until the end of the chapter or until the plot has revealed itself. But that first literary device that is used brings the reader in even though it might confuse them because that makes them want to understand and keep reading. The device used at the beginning tends to show up again throughout the chapter or is at least better understood by the end from what happens in that chapter. Those devices/structure helps the reader understand and relate better to the text/characters.
