At the beginning of this section, fall is here and winter is around the corner and things are being put into motion. Fall is a time of foreshadowing and the winter is a time for the cold or sorrow. In this quote Emma and Rodolphe are at the fair and having a nice conversation. Rodolphe says that he has feelings for her and he knows that she is falling for him hard and keeps falling with every word he says during their conversation. For Rodolphe the fair is the place that he got her to consider their relationship as more than friends, but as lovers. He does not love her, he wants her for her beauty and has no intentions of being with her for the rest of their

Loving someone like Emma loves Rodolphe, the love that consumes you, and then knowing that they do not feel the same way and pretending that they do is hard to come to terms with.

When he is first put in the maze he knows no one and can not even remember his own name. But a girl, the first girl, enters into the maze she immediately recognizes Thomas.

    He smoked his last cigarette… As Nat's wife is trying to put the children to sleep, Nat decided to try the wireless one more time to see if there might be any broadcast. "What are you doing?" Nat's wife asked Nat, "I'm checking the wireless one last time for any broadcast" All to be heard from the small speaker was a scratchy irritating noise, "Nothing."

Realizing that the tide had risen, Nat got his shoes on and prepared another trip to the Triggs farm for some more supplies. On his drive over he heard a soft humming noise coming from the east. After a few minutes had passed, the noise had grown…

    In the letter from Scout to Jem, we see Scout's’ point of view and how she feels. It shows that she is sad that Boo gave them so much and they did not give him anything in return like a good neighbor should have. To convey this, a flowery background symbolizes a neighbor's job to look after one another and the items in the pouch exhibits what Scout and Jem were given I feel that this establishes a feeling of growing maturity because the flowery background also symbolizes the growth of a young girl at the stage of coming of age experiences were a young bud becomes a flower not yet too old to shine like glitter which reveals that pouch holding items is like the pouch of a mother kangaroo because they hold their young in that pouch and Boo cares…

    As the story progressed, the line that draws the boundaries between the world of instinct and savagery contrast to the world of reasoning and civilization begins to fade. The death of Simon was meant to show the loss of peace and order as he was the only one on the island who was not afraid of “the beast” and was able to live with his mind at peace and think rationally based on reason, not instinct. I felt that the cruel fate that Simon had to endure was unnecessary brutal but I do see why the author incorporated it to get his point across, although I was a bit disturbed. I felt that the way Simon died was unrealistically brutal and I understand that it was meant to display the instinctive and animalistic behaviour of the boys when they were…

    Don't you hate it when you read a very magnificent book and decide to watch the movie version, but then regret it? One thought speeds through your mind - “why did I watch that movie?” Although there are those rare cases when the movie is better, for the majority of the time, the book version is the most absolute. Some examples are “The Hunger Games” and The Maze Runner sequel where I immensely enjoyed reading the books, but strongly disliked the movies. The differences between the book version and the movies version are more significant than their similarities.…
