A Prayer for Owen Meany by John Irving
This book makes ethical use of the way by which can buoy Irving expresses his imaginative ideas with the use of his intimately and humorous style. The book manages to keep the readers attention centre on the story because of the clear writing style that Irving employs.The way that John Irving narrates this story however is the main reason that it is a rattling good book.The method by which this novel is narrated is my favorite aspect of it. Three remarkable stories interlock in this narrative John and Owens childhood, their adult feel and Johns life after Owens death. (A Prayer for Owen Meany, analytical Overview)The novel is told from the first psyche point of view, that of Johns. His narrative seems like he is rambling which is very characteristic of writing coming from streams of consciousness. We see the world through his eyes, which explains why the narrative keeps on skipping from scene to scene. (A Prayer for Owen Meany uninflected Overview)The novel is written like a memoir, which indicates that most of Johns experiences were based or, more like, parallel with historical events such as the assassination of President Kennedy and the scandal of Iran-Contra. Johns views about these events sometimes prevail his recollection of his childhood memories and his views about religion. (A Prayer for Owen Meany analytic Overview)The books study on Johns mental confusion is difficult to understand. As it is told from his point of view, he eternally tries to reposition the attention away from him and to the other characters and events that transpired throughout the story.His own feelings over the injustice of Owen Meany shows how much damaged and torn his character truly is that his constant recollection and narration of the past reveals his desire to relive them, or maybe his failure to live in the present.
