Critical analysis on The Wars by Timothy Findley.

The Wars, written by Timothy Findley, is a story about World War I, and consists of many shocking images passed over to the reader. Findley accomplishes to pull the reader into the narrative itself, so that the reader manages to feel an impact upon him/her-self about what is read. If it was not for this specific skill, or can also be seen as a specific genre, the novel would not have been as successful as it is now. Also, something that helps the book be so triumphant, there is the fact that Findley never overwhelms the reader with too many gruesome details about the World War I.

Because the reader feels sorrow, there is more chance that the reader believes everything that is being said by or about him, although there is more that one perspective to the whole of World War I. Throughout the world, there have been a number of war novels that have been written. But, even if many war novels are about the same thing, they would mostly differ from each other. One difference is that there can be War Novels and there can be Good War Novels. What exactly is the difference? To help understand, the following quote will be partly supported. If a novel is poor history, it will not be a good novel. Good history, however, will not necessarily produce good art...Every work of history, including every historical novel, has an ideological message. But the novel is above all else an art form concerned with people as they interact with each other and as they develop and change. (McFarland) The quote basically means that a poor war novel has a message behind it, but every good war novel has a message behind it, and also shows how people interact with each other. I agree to a certain extent. That can be accepted as a meaning of a poor war novel, but IShow MoreRelatedMedia Mag ic Making Class Invisible2198 Words   |  9 Pagesand upper classes as well.
