While infection has always haunted civilizations around the world, there are very few diseases that have had as much of an impact on Western culture as cancer has. The abundance of bereavement literature about characters with cancer begs the question; why cancer? This paper discusses ways in which cancer narratives reinforce Western obsession with control, through the lens of rhetoric and narrative structure. The author will specifically discuss how Patrick Ness’ 2011 novel, A Monster Calls, combats modern illness and cancer narratives and challenges themes of control threaded into Western culture

An Embedded Chiasm in the Narrative Structure of Psalm 105

Narrative Structure

This article suggests that a previously unrecognised chiasm is embedded within the narrative structure of Psalm 105. Both the narrative structure and the chiastic structure of Psalm 105 are described, and the rhetorical significance of these structures is explored. The narrative structure points to the value of historical recital as a form of testimony and theological articulation within the liturgical life of Israel. The chiastic structure highlights significant elements of the psalm and its story. The emphasis of Psalm 105 is on Yahweh’s power and dominance over Israel’s enemies, a dominance that generates trust and hope that would be particularly beneficial to those hearers who were suffering in the exilic or in postexilic contexts.
