Although some of them show certain proficiency when they deal with comprehension questions, they seem to be unable to call for any background knowledge or show an awareness of text or discourse hanging-devices. The present study examined whether explicit instruction in stylistics and discourse devices improved the stylistic interpretation of literary texts by first year students of English. The study employed an intervention strategy that introduced some discourse devices to a section (sample) of 39 students who participated simultaneously in the study as the control and experimental groups. This section received instruction on coherence, cohesion, situationality and intertextuality for a period of 15 hours through 5 weeks after it had taken a pretest on the old model of exams. A posttest was then taken on the new model of exams and ANOVA tests were used to check the improvement of the students' stylistic interpretation of literary texts and overall achievement before and after the intervention. Prior to the intervention, the thirty-nine students responded to a questionnaire and the teachers of the course were interviewed to provide the researchers with insights into different aspects of the classroom situation and the programme of the first year. The analysis of the data gathered resulted in important differences in the stylistic analysis and general comprehension of texts by the students in the posttest, attaining better scores than they did in the pretest. The teachers' responses in the interviews, the students' answers to the questionnaires and the scores achieved indicated that it is important to include the teaching of discourse devices in the first year Literary Texts programme.

The USA is still a powerful country characterized by a very solid background. It seems evident that a part of the American success and glory could be traced back to earlier times, especially to the Puritans with their powerful and profound moral values. Puritanism forged a great part of the American identity for many centuries, remaining influential until the present day. Puritan values are considered a core element that shapes the American individual to the extreme till nowadays. The researchers have noticed that today’s Americans subconsciously still hold those puritan values. They have deduced that those puritan ideals are so hard-wired in the American psyche to form a subconscious mindset. The thesis used some of American presidential speeches and archives as original sources that expressed clearly the impact of those Puritan ideals on American individuals and society. As an example of these are some typical Puritan vocabulary like mission, calling, city on a hill; in addition to the rhetoric of the jeremiad which are still used by the USA presidents, especially, in times of crises as a means of persuasion to unite the nation. The analysis of data revealed that those Puritan values still shape the USA individuals and their society. It also shows that a great part of American success is mainly due to those ideals which still forge the American individual and make him particular. It is crucial to mention that Puritanism still has a hold on American’s psyche today and still influences American individuals consciously and subconsciously.
