Quotes For Coraline
It is astonishing just how uch of what we are can be tied to the beds we wake up in in the morning, and it is astonishing how fragile that can be.

Coraline is a book that I would (and I probably will, buhahahaha) recommend to anyone who enjoys a good dark-ish story with a releatable protagonist and some nice and a bit weird characters. I would definitely label it just as a children's book, because it has much more to it. It is clever, wicked and some of the quotes (loads of them made it into my actual quote book where I gather my favourite lines from all the books I read) will live with me forever.

What I really appreciated about it (besides Coraline feeding dog chocolates, of course), was the real rawness in which some, maybe most of children

    This movie is very eye opening. I vaguely recall reading about this event in high school. I feel like the film did a great job at humanizing the little girls and their families. Instead of just thinking about the tragedy in a kind of abstract way, it allows you to relate to what happened in a much more visceral way.…

    Marie Lou Legend Quotes

    • 3 Pages

    One character from my novel, Legend by Marie Lu, who could be identified as a best friend is Day, otherwise known as Daniel. One reason why Day could be considered a best friend is because although he is tough and independent, he is also kind and considerate. The author writes, “A part of me recalls the way he saved me from the skiz fight, that he helped me heal the burning wound in my side, that his hands had been so gentle.” (Lu, 148). In this quote the author explains how Day saved June when she was escaping from a skiz fight. This proves that Day could be a best friend because although he is a criminal, he still saved a stranger, showing that he is kind.…

    I believe Thoreau uses this imagery to claim that an individual should be conscious enough of nature and his surroundings to not need mechanical means to wake up every morning. Thoreau also expresses his appreciation for the human ability to change our outlook on life by living in a more conscious manner (257). He states his belief that man’s purpose is to make their life worthy even in the most insignificant hours (257).…

    Life is a precious gift. It is not about the gifts we are given in our lives, but how we use those gifts.

    4. When Coraline said she does not want to have everything she wants, she meant that she doesn't want everything because that wouldn't be any fun to have everything that she would want. If she got everything she wanted what fun what that be because if you had all that stuff, how would she even use it all? What would be the point of having everything you wanted if you're not gonna use it all? I think she means that it would be no fun and no use to have everything that she wanted. I agree with Coraline because I do not think it would be fun or useful either. I think that it would be a waste of money and just a waste in general because you can't use it all at once, so it's just gonna sit there if you have everything you want. Also because,…

    We can say from The Master and Margarita that while Jesus and Christianity is mentioned and relevant in the book, Bulgakov stays away from the sophisticated display of Jesus. What intrigues me is the Jesus that Bulgakov displays doesn’t like the secretary going after him almost in a secretive type of way. There are many sentences and some paragraphs about the nature of humans, atheism, totalitarianism, and humanity. The book weaves together satire and realism, art and religion, history and contemporary social values. The book in a way is centering around the moral dilemma of Pilate or the enduring love of the Master and Margarita. Many times in the book, Satan speaks to the Master and is present in other ways such as when the weather gets…
