Importance Of Digory In The Magician's Nephew
Would you ring the bell and be the game changer or play it safe and avoid the danger? In the Magician’s Nephew, Digory had to make the choice of ringing the bell or playing it safe. Digory should not have rung the bell in the unfamiliar world for three reasons: Digory and Polly had no knowledge on where they were, they had not mastered their rings, and the bell would awake an evil queen. The first reason Digory should not have rung the bell in the unfamiliar world is that Digory and Polly had no knowledge on where they were. The two almost forgot where they stood in the Wood; they could have easily forgotten where they were stepping in the mysterious world and would have not remembered how to get back. They should not have even been wondering

    Instead, their eyes glanced at the darkened woods, wondering if there was something following them like in one of Chief Black’s stories. While he knew the ghost tales weren’t true, Collin’s sensitive hearing did pick up the fact that there was indeed something out there, but he wasn’t alarmed at all as his nose told him exactly who it was. Finally, Collin found his voice. “You said that you are new here. Where’d you live…

    Timing of entrances and exits is crucial. For example, the Inspector arrives immediately after Birling has told Gerald about his impending knighthood and about how "a man has to look after himself and his own. The sound of the inspector ringing the bell can be seen as a clear division between the peaceful ignorant life the Birlings once knew and the disaster of learning the truth about…

    Adorning the passage with sentences of increasing length, he creates a sense of mounting action. If one were to read the passage out loud, the sheer number and length of clauses would cause one to continually pause, breathless. In constructing this passage so, Hawthorne emphasizes Pearl’s wild energy and tirelessness. Hawthorne’s juxtaposition of descriptions of Pearl’s imagination with comparisons of Church elders to “pine trees- aged, black and solemn” emphasizes the great contrast between Pearl’s vivacity and the stoicism of the Puritan elders. Hawthorne uses the alliteration of certain words (“darting up and dancing” and “vast variety”) to lend a euphonious sound to the passage. In contrast to this euphony, the passage ends with the repetition of a series of hard c sounds (“constant”, “cause in the contest”). These words create harsh sounds that correspond with the sentence’s harsh subject, an adverse world. In addition, the staccato consonant sounds contrast with the fluid prior clauses. This contrast reinforces Pearl’s variability, because just as Pearl is changeable, the sentence is changeable, dynamic in sound and construction.…

    We continued to run through the cemetery, remembering to remain peaceful in respect of those who lie 6 feet under. Passing many graves, some covered in moss, some grand, some small. We ran until we came up to the Merchant Ball. Of course we tried to stay as far away from the ball as possible, but since we were in such a rush, it was the only way to get back to Johnny’s without getting the kids catching up. I slowed down and remained as quiet as possible, trying not to startle any imaginable spirits. When we past and thought we were clear of the danger, Bill who was the slowest, and had caught up to us, stopped suddenly in his…

    Dimmesdale Is a Coward

    • 709 Words
    • 3 Pages

    Invision this: you live your entire life being unaware of your paternity. Worse yet, your father refuses to accept you as his daugher. Unfortunately Pearl has to live with this tragic fate. As Pearl flourishes from infant to animated child her father, Reverend Dimmesdale, observes unobtrusively. Yet, he remains anonymous, refusing to affirm the truth, of his role. As if this abandonment is not bad enough, Dimmesdale constrains himself from interacting with Pearl. The inadvertency and desertion of a father contributes to Pearl’s ideas regarding her earthly and heavenly father. Readers who conceive Dimmesdale as not a coward dispute that, despite his dismissal of Pearl, he endorses Hester as caregiver to sustain Pearl. Admittedly, keeping Pearl is a benefit, as “she [Pearl] is the only treasure in my [Hester’s] life.” Nevertheless, Dimmesdale abstains from helping Pearl; monetarily, physically, emotionally. His actions leave Pearl indignant with fatherly figures. Readers detect the trait when Pearl renounces her heavenly father, and later when she hails her birth father as the devil. Pearl’s etiquette is normal by the inexistence of a father figurehead, Dimmesdale. By being cowardly and not accepting Pearl as his own, Arthur sentences her to a rough life. What Dimmesdale does to Hester however is iniquitous.…

    While Eleanor and Theo hears a sound of a child crying outside of their rooms, the two was in their room, setting up their beds.

Another really proof to this is the writings on the wall. As the group passes by the long hallway, a massive writing that shouts “HELP ELEANOR COME HOME” (91) suggests to the readers, that out of all people, Eleanor attracts the attention, more than anyone else. Through this, Eleanor feels a sense of connection and gives a “signal” to her that she is part of Hill House. However, Dr. Montague thinks that this is getting out of hand. As Eleanor connects with the house, she is also being link to the supernatural living in it, which is to every paranormal expert is a “no-no” for it can attract spirits to use you since they can lay hands on you for having that connection. For this reason, Dr. Montague tells Eleanor to pack her bags and leave as soon as she can, after breakfast, but Eleanor insist that “I want to stay here” (150).

    After it began to ring, the mom told Bigger to turn it off. Bigger does not sleep in the same bed as her mom, but by telling him to turn it off it makes sense that they however sleep in the same room. Not only that but it shows the conditions the family is forced to wake up to, in this case a rat. The rat shows the poor living condition the black family live in. It shows how blacks had to live in small houses where rodents such as the big rat was common. Not only this but the way Bigger treats the rat is comparable to how whites treated blacks during this time period. In the society where whites were dominant, the blacks were the…
