Literary_Analysis

Literary Analysis Literary Analysis Literature can be looked at and interpreted in many different ways. Everyone has their own opinion of how certain literary elements affect a piece of literature. I happen to have my own opinion about Summer of My German Soldier and The Drowning of Stephan Jones. Different literary elements often have a huge effect on how the piece fits together. I feel that the author, setting, and characters have a rather large impact on the theme of the two books. In a lot of aspects, these two books were very similar. Both of them being written by the same person has a lot to do with how the theme is affected. Bette Greene, the author of the two books, is a southern woman. She was born in a small town in Arkansas. Greene was born and raised with the ideas of the south and the bible belt. I think that the fact that she was from the south really affected the way the books were written and what theme was to be abstracted from them. Greene probably understood how people felt and what was to come of them if they were theme, setting, people, books, characters, two, literary, different, because, very, small, greene, elements, author, way, towns, think, stephan, similar, same, readers, piece, opinion, literature, church, both, affected, written, ways, town, together, south, soldier, own, often
