    I chose a rose as the symbol because the author used direct characterization to describe the princess as semi- savage. The rose represents this well, the rose is beautiful, delicate, and proud, but to do this it must be tended to. This is where the semi savage part comes in her father the king is full savage and this affected the princess, because she was savage though she was semi savage. The leaves and her design represent her semi savageness because she grows a bit differently than her father it represents her uniqueness. Another thing that represents her semi savageness are the thorns, she is beautiful but if you try to pick her up and she doesn't want to picked her thorns sting you, but here is the thing she can twist and leave her spot…

    Gaia’s mix of ignorance and intelligence, defiance and loyalty, is the foundation for a wonderful novel. Codes, secret passageways, evil masterminds, prisons, and a touch of romance. Vivid imagery pulls the reader into the story and into Gaia’s difficult world. Not only does Gaia gain courage, confidence, and intelligence as the book progresses, but she matures dramatically as she comes to accept and realize the onerous reality of her life.…

    Numerous novels and short stories contain characters who grow up and acquire knowledge throughout the story. Some characters mature into a kind and helpful role while others evolve into evil they cannot suppress. Many factors dictate how a person, or animal in some cases, will evolve or emerge in the end of the story. The people around a character and where the character lives usually determines what type of person or animal they are. The short story “On the Rainy River” shows how location helps a character grow and develop. Location plays a substantial role in how a character develops and how they learn the necessary material for growing up.…

    When the world is at its worst, we as humans tend to lean on literature. It gives us hope and understanding of our lives. It teaches us that we are not alone. Everything we face another is facing it with us. Works of literature hold the truth of our past, present and future. If we look at the content and theme of similar works such as “A Rose for Emily” by William Faukner, and “Yellow Wallpaper” by Charlotte Perkins Gilman. It outlines the ways of our own lives and has us connect to the stories. Despite their obvious differences in content and theme, “A Rose for Emily” and “Yellow Wallpaper” both ultimately show our own lives mirrored to them, and tell the story of the human experience.…

    Fern's Reflection

    • 1161 Words
    • 5 Pages

    The book took you on an emotional rollercoaster filled with ups and downs. This book was filled with surprises and there was never a dull moment. The book wasn’t just enjoyable it also was meaningful. It taught me that even when you feel like nothing is going right, it will always be alright at the end. This was also said by Ran, one of Fern’s best friends with his famous quote, “All will be well” (83). I have read many books in my lifetime and I am proud to say that this book has become one of my favorites. What I feel really made this book entertaining to read was that you could really feel the emotion that each character felt. In most fictional books the emotions aren’t strong enough to feel, which makes this book stand out from the rest. The book was also very relatable in many ways, which is different from most novels I have read. One way I related to this book was that Fern was a twelve-year old girl in middle school, like I was last year and will be for a short amount of time this year. The other way that I related to this book was, they lost someone very close to them unexpectedly like I did with my dog Cookie. Charlie was very young when he died and so was Cookie. She was only four years old. This book had all the aspects of a great novel, which made it very entertaining to…

    Is uniqueness and originality in a novel enough to make one great? I believe that in order for this to be the case both need to be executed well. Mark Haddon in his novel, ‘The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night time’ (‘Curious Incident’) executes uniqueness in such a way that it successfully creates empathy and understanding in the reader. This is done through the unique voice of the narrator who is a child with Aspergers. Haddon’s novel is not a narrative concerned with ‘overcoming’ a disability but rather about finding ways to co-exist with one. His novel is great because it allows the reader to step into a worldview that they wouldn’t usually have access to. He achieves this successfully through literary techniques and quotes as evidence, ultimately exploring themes regarding Aspergers and relationships. In this essay I will explore how through a unique perspective Mark Haddon has produced a great novel.…
