3 O'toole. Thanks. Also Murphy's corollary to Murphy's law: "things, left to themselves, generally go from bad to worse." .

Scorpio7 replied to post #3: 4 Thanks, but that doesn't address my ORIGINAL Q, which is:There is another one along the same vein, and it goes, "Every person (man) has a plan (scheme) that will NOT succeed. "To whom is THAT one ascribed/accredited? I've searched the Internet, and can't seem to find it.

Help! .

They are not “used,” per se, by authors; they represent the elements of storytelling which are common to all literary and narrative forms. For example, every story has a theme, every story has a setting, every story has a conflict, every story is written from a particular point-of-view, etc. In order to be discussed legitimately as part of a textual analysis, literary elements must be specifically identified for that particular text. Literary techniques refers to any specific, deliberate constructions or choices of language which an author uses to convey meaning in a particular way.

An author’s use of a literary technique usually occurs with a single word or phrase, or a particular group of words or phrases, at one single point in a text. Unlike literary elements, literary techniques are not necessarily present in every text; they represent deliberate, conscious choices by individual authors. “Literary terms” refers to the words themselves with which we identify and designate literary elements and techniques.

They are not found in literature and they are not “used” by authors.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
