I'm studying In Cold Blood by Truman Capote and I'm wondering what the most appropriate literary term would be for the reader's identification with the character of Perry, a murderer, simply because things are presented from his point of view.
as in "In this section Capote automatically creates sympathy for the killer because things are presented from his point of view".

It happens in most books. If you read a book with a first person narrative, you will automatically identify mainly with the narrator (usually, I mean, unless satirical or plainly and clearly irrational) - I'm mainly looking for a term for this technique, or an explanation of why this is.

Most 21st readers seem to hate her because of her strong morals and 'boring' character. When the book was first written, however, Fanny was liked.

This makes me think that modern people are only thinking in 21st century terms and that they don't like Fanny simply because she's old-fashioned, 'boring', and moralistic. Personally, I have always liked Fanny because she shows that true goodness and strong morals are better than superficiality.

Does anyone else agree with me and actually like Fanny Price, who is known to probably be Jane Austen's most disliked character?

Maybe Fanny isn't as exciting or witty as some of Austen's other characters and maybe she may seem a little boring to some readers. But sometimes a character like Fanny can be a breath of fresh air, especially when compared to all the multitudes of witty and more modern female characters that are popular today.

I read it a long time ago and would like to reread it, but for the life of me cannot remember the title. I believe it takes place in the 80's. The main character is a woman who has (apparently) gotten into a car accident in a strange town. She wakes up in the hospital with amnesia and is cared for by the doctors and nurses. She begins to suspect something is wrong and as it turns out, she's not in the U.S. anymore, but in Russia (I think?). She works for this top secret company who has (for lack of a better word) programmed her to get amnesia if anyone tried to torture information about the company out of her. The book is very Nelson Demille-ish, but it's not by him. Can anyone help me?

I Love to read but Janet and Mary Kay just can't write near as fast as I read... Does anyone have any recommendations for another author with similar characteristics... I prefer a series, but I can handle onesies if they are good enough... I want the humor and mystery that my favs offer....

I have recently received "Heir to the Empire" from a friend, and this is 5 years after Return of the Jedi happened, is there anything in between that I should read? Or is this the bonafide next chapter, like, Chapter VII if you will?

If you hate Harry Potter or you don't care, please don't bother answering my question because I'm not interested in your answer. Thanks a lot.

To HP fans: I've heard that two people will die in the last book...and if the prophecy is right, someone must die for the other to live, and I was wondering that maybe both Voldemort and Harry will die?? That would be a horrible ending, but pretty reasonable...

I'm still so sad for Dumbledore, I know it's stupid but I can't bear the thought of Harry dying, really :))
I feel like it's such a mean reason for the writer to kill him off just because she doesn't want to write any more books about him (that's what I read in a newspaper though).

Any ideas or information?

I love the story "The Princess Bride". I own the Goldman 'good parts' version. It also includes the first chapter of "Buttercup's Baby". I've tried so hard to find that book. But my friends say that it was never written. Was it? If so, where can I find it? If not, then why would Goldman invent a book never written...and leave off with Fezzik dead?!?!?

I'm looking for specific books that discuss the possibility of using computers/technology to upload knowledge of some sort (e.g. "how to fly a plane" or "how to speek Greek") into a relatively normal human brain. I am NOT looking for situations like in The Matrix where the human brain has to have been adapted since infancy with built-in mechanical parts in order to recieve these programs.

I prefer "hard" sci-fi that tries to have some kind of logical discussion of the phenomena, but I'm open to any suggestions

Thhis sounds bad, but its my sister. I wrote this poem and entered it into the contest that goes nationally and I got some ratings and they say it is pretty good. But, my sister is copying not only my topic, but the same alliteration at the end of each stanza. I have brought it up with her and she doesn't seem to care. Alsom she is entereing the same contest and I don't want to lose because of her or be accused of plagiarizm. It is too late to withdraw mine, but she sends hers in soon. Help!
