To find what you seek in the road of life, the best proverb of all is that which says:"Leave no stone unturned."~Edward Bulwer Lytton~
-We have go through the story of Lotus Eater together in class. Here are the elements that we are covering on, today.
The themes are involved in this story:
- the seach for happiness
- living and dying

Literary Devices used are:
- simile: a comparison made of two objects using 'like' and 'as'.
- foreshadow: an indication of a future event.
- contrast: comparison showing differences.
- colour imagery: words that create colourful images in the readers mind.
- irony: a person gets the opposite of what he expects .
Point of view:
We are given two points of view. The story is set in Capri. According to the narrator, Wilson leads a dull life but according to Wilson who represents the first point of view, he leads a happy life until his money runs out. The pronoun 'I' is used to show Wilson speaking. The narrator is not judgemental and gives a frank evaluation of the events.
-As in next entry, we will look on the moral values, characters and the settings.
