Storytelling Assignment and Linguistic Analysis of Dubliners

Currently, I'm completing these 2 assignments. The first is creating 8 plots out of a story premise which is as follows:

Story Premise:

In a far off Land of two boys grew up the best of friends. But over the years they have drifted farther apart and found differing places in society. followed his father into the Corp, a group tasked with keeping the Land safe. has built his life around the seedy Underworld, the part of society kept hidden from the rest of the land. He knows it well and is comfortable with its inner workings. Now, a top minister of the Land has gone missing, taken somehow into the depths of the Underworld. is asked to find him and he calls upon his friend to help.

The first draft is no that great because I had used the same beginnings for the 8 plots and secondly, I had not created a dramatic effect by fleshing out the emotional relationship between Name 1 and Name 2. I had just edited the draft and resent it to the lecturer for evaluation.

What does the story needs to have?

Firstly it needs to be like an Aristotelien story which has a beginning(exposition) which consists of the inciting incident, a middle which contains the main plot points or the meat of the story and most importantly is the turning point which will usually drive the story in a different and unexpected direction. And finally, the ending of the story where the climax (the highest point of the story) precedes the ending and followed by the resolution of the story where almost everything ends up with their loose ends tied. The key to creating a dramatic story is to create a kind of tension between the main characters where based on their relationships, determine their actions which is like a cause and effect theory.

The 2nd assignment is to linguistically analyse the short story "The Sister" in Dubliners.

What do I need to focus on the long essay?

1. Focusing on the Nouns/Verbs, Adjectives/Adverbs and the Clause.
2. Focusing on the various themes in the story.
3. Connecting the linguistic style of the story used with the most important themes in the story.
4. Arguing why a linguistic analysis is important with regards to the specific kind of literary stylistics that is being used to write the story, which ultimately reveal that the style of the story may or may not intentionally be used by the author to portray to the reader a certain effect or to reflect the main theme of the story itself.
