Saleem, Abdul. “The Theme of\nAlienation in Modern Literature.” European Journal of English Language and\nLiterature Studies, vol. 3, no. 3, Sept. 2014, pp. 67-76, www.eajournals.org.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Abdul Saleem article looks at how\nthe theme of alienation has been used in modern literary works. Alienation as a\ntheme has had an indelible impact on contemporary literature. The author notes\nthat the alienated character is a recurring figure in American and European\nfiction and is characterized by an individual\u2019s loss of identity. The\ndispossessed personality perceives the world as hostile questions the relevance\nof his existence. The author concludes that fictions are not interested in\nmaking an objective and philosophical argument but are aimed in attending to\nthe plight of the alienated character and expressing concern for him and dissatisfaction\nin the society. The article will be key in the analysis of the theme of\nisolation. The author selected articles from a reputable database and national\nlibraries such as America Sociological Review, Journal of Literature and\nAesthetics and the Philosophical Library. The databases are renowned for\npublishing peer-reviewed articles, books and journals. In this regard, the\nauthor\u2019s selection of articles from these databases boosted the validity and\nreliability of the results, findings, and conclusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
McCarthy,\nCormac. The Road. Pan Macmillan, 2010.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Road by Cormac McCarthy tells\nthe story of a man and his son in a expedition towards the sea and an undefined\nsalvation. The book is set in post-apocalyptic America and the regions they\npass through are characterized by blasted cities and scorched countryside. The\ncities are held by looters who tunnel among the collapsed building scavenging\nfor anything in the starved world even cannibalizing. The father and son move\nthrough the ruins keeping safe from the murderous gangs with only a pistol in\ntheir defense. The Road is a meditation of the worst the world can sink into\ntenacity, destruction, and the tenderness that bring people together. The\nchoice of this fiction is informed by the fact that it has several themes in it\nsuch as violence, love, mortality, spirituality, and isolation among others.\nThe fiction has also utilized several literary devices such as symbols,\nimagery, allegory, setting, tone and narrative voice. The book is credited as\nthe Winner of the 2007 Pulitzer Prize in Fiction and the National Book Critics\nCircle Award Finalist as well as a National Bestseller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Stobaugh, James P. Handbook for\nLiterary Analysis: How to Evaluate Prose Fiction, Drama, & Poetry.\nBookBaby, 2012.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
James P. Stobaugh book gives a\nguide on literary analysis. It gives a guide on how to make a point about a\nliterary work and how to support that point by analyzing the work\u2019s literary\nelements such as symbolism, irony, and metaphors as well as the main themes and\ninferred ideas that are not essentially obvious within the literary work\nitself. It also outlines the narrative and gives examples of how a story can be\ntold from many possible perspectives. The book teaches how to analyzed from the\npoint of a reader, critic, and a student. The book defines, explains and\nillustrates a wide range of significant literary terms in fiction, drama, play,\nand poetry.

Diasamidze, Ivdit. “Point of\nView in Narrative Discourse.” Procedia – Social and Behavioral Sciences,\nvol. 158, 2014, pp. 160-165.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ivdit Diasamidze has expounded on\nthe narrative voice and the methods that determine the angle of vision and the\nposition from which the story is told. The author has also examined how the\nnature of the relationship between the storyteller and story is crucial to the\nart of fiction. He further examines how the relationship paints the way in\nwhich everything is presented and observed including character, setting and\nplot. The author has looked at the omniscient and dramatic points of view and\nhow they inform the distance the author wants to keep between the story and the\nreader as well as the degree to which the author is willing to involve the\nreader in its understanding. The source is helpful as the author has\nsuccessfully examined and interpreted the \u201cpoint of view\u201d as a literary element\nand will be key in my analysis of works from both modern and contemporary\nwriters. The source is recent hence credible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bluestein, N. A.\n“Comprehension through Characterization: Enabling Readers to Make Personal\nConnections with Literature.” International Literacy Association, vol. 55,\nno. 5, 202, pp. 431-434.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In enabling the readers to make a\nconnection with literature, Alexandria Bluestein illustrates how students can\ncreate their own mental image from a text. He argues, that this can be achieved\nby characterization. Drawing from a character\u2019s feelings, intricate thoughts,\nconcrete actions and use of realistic words can help one in gaining an intimate\nunderstanding of the character as we also possess the same description. The\nauthor guides on how to create a mental map and describe the character.\nTherefore, the source is credible in guiding on characterization in literary\nanalysis.
