How does Mike Myatt’s assertion that “we have no control over the beginning of our life” (Paragraph 2) help support the theme of

children being controlled in “The Storyteller”?

Myatt's 'Life isn't fair - deal with it' is a classic example of how certain methods, policies and ideologies effect our perspective and taking up on choices that we come across in life.

Explanation:

This story by Myatt is not only a direction invoking story but also a realistic reference for readers to understand how our own thoughts can lead us to choices that are not very fair. These in turn, are the ones that effect us later in life's decisions.

'The Storyteller' by Saki talks about similar concept of how people <em>misinterpret and misunderstand</em> that being good, doing good can lead us a happy and satisfying life. In the story of the bachelor it is a contrast where a girl who did only good ended eaten by a wild animal because of the 'good medal' that she wears - making a noise about her presence.

These two stories talk about how individuals in relationships, our children, partners cannot be controlled and taught about certain aspects in life. It solely depends on their perspective and their way of perception.

HACTEHA [7]

If the character starts and ends in the same place, the plot has gone in a circle.  For example, if Charlie was having problems with his teacher at the beginning of the story, and the story talks about the many weeks he has tried to fix these problems, yet the story ends with him still not resolving these problems, the plot had gone in a circle.  There is not resolution, no ending, no fix.

lukranit [14]

People who opt for a simple and healthy lifestyle are often the ones who tend to live longer and are not hampered by stress.  By choosing a diet where they eat foods that are rich in vitamins and minerals and cutting back on fast food or processed dishes, their life expectancy has great chance of increasing.  Together with a healthy attitude, people who make this choice tend to live longer.

In this activity, you'll read a sentence from the Old Testament's Ecclesiastes. You will also read George Orwell's revision of t
JulijaS [17]
Orwell's revision is a parody of highly technical, quasi-intellectualist style and tone of the academia. He uses robust vocabulary, devoid of imagery that is characteristic of Ecclesiastes' sentence, big words that mean almost nothing, and certainly don't convey anything beyond their abstract meaning. Whereas Ecclesiastes' sentence is written in 1st person and highly evocative, Orwell's is impersonal, faceless, and drab.
