Lit Analysis #2 Fifty Shades Of Grey

You said I could do my Lit Analysis on these books in class! 

1. 
The plot of this book is about a women named Ana who graduates from who is about to graduate college and before she graduates she interviews a rich man named Christian Grey because her room mate was doing a piece for graduation and then from there the whirl wind "romance"started. The man Christian Grey had very traumatic events in his life, such as his birth mom being a drug user leading him into being adopted by the Grey family who were very rich. They helped him become a successful person that he now is in the story. It was hard for him to adjust to his new life and try to stay out of trouble until he met one of his mom's friend and she sort of seduced him and introduced him to a submissive and dominant life style. From there on he finds submissive that will do as he pleases, until he met Ana. Ana doesn't understand his wants and needs but some how still loves him. Together they figure out his problems. 

2.  
The theme of the novel to me is darkness and light. I think there are very dark scenes and feelings in this story, but I also think there are light scenes and feelings in this story. Some examples of dark  feelings  are of the dominant and submissive lifestyle and then some examples of light feelings are of the love that Ana & Christian share. 

3. 
The author's tone in the book is very risqué, some people might even call it "porn" in a book. But really yes their is sexual scences but it's about the love they conquer together. For example when they first met in Christian Greg's office, the author shows so much of Anastasia Steele's emotions. Or when Christian comes to get anastasia when she is drunk. Or lastly when they make love for the first time. All of these examples have a tone of risqué and is definetely a romantic love story book. 

4. 

1.) Theme: love can conquer anything is the theme because throughout the whole book they conquer some major events and things and they still love each other. 

2.) Bildungsroman: How Ana changes into a more confident person and how Christian changes his ways. Also how Christian's story gets told within the story. 

3.) Protagonist: Ana, she is the one we get to know way more about then Christian. 

4.) Dialogue: the dialogue in this book has straight dialogue but it also gets come across through emails 

5.) Hyperbole: pg. 358 "his eyes widen with surprise, and I see a glimmer of

Excitement." 

6.) irony: in the beginning of the story Christian told Ana that he doesn't do the romantic stuff but he definetely does takin her out on helicopter rides and such. 

7.) Onemotopia: pg. 358 "ta-da! He says playfully" 

8.) utopia: a utopia to Christian is definitely the "red room of pain"

9.) tragedy: what Christian had to go through when he was little. His birth mom was a "crack whore" and he starved some days. He was then adopted by the rich Grey family, but he was then taken advantage of from his neighbor. 

10.) Point of view: narrator- Anastasia Steele 

CHARACTERIZATION 
1. 

Two examples of direct characterization in the book is when Ana and Christian are first describes they are described on what they are wearing and what they see on the outside. Two examples of indirect characterization is one the way Christian feels towards Ana, you sort have to figure out yourself of he is has feelings for Ana or if she is just another dominant. Another indirect characterization is how their personalities play out and what they do for them toward the end of the story. At the beginning Ana isuch shy and toward the end she becomes confident in herself and Christian. 
2. 
I think yes the author's syntax and diction does change when focusing on different characters because whenever talking about Christian its more dark and moody while talking about other characters such as

Ana more light. 

3. 
I believe Anastasia Steele, or Ana is a very dynamic and round character. She develops through the story figuring out who she is and who Christian is. She reveals her feelings and thoughts with every word written.Ana from the beginning was very shy and not confident and then toward the end of the book she is the opposite, she will speak up for her self and is confident in her self.

4. 
I don't think I've met anyone like Christian Grey because I think this character is too dominant and I've never met anyone like that. I do think I've met someone like Anastasia Steele because we all sort of innocent until life and different obstacles hit us. I relate to Ana because she sort of is questioning everything and I do that a lot. Reading through her thoughts make it so I'm in her shoes trying to figure out if what I am doing is right for me.
