No, the murder of one man did not ruin the environment, but the author uses this as a metaphor and connection between her personal experiences and current environmental and health issues. This method of persuasive writing has numerous advantages and disadvantages, therefore affecting its credibility. Two Crises, One Cause Steingraber writes that it is the time to face the environmental crisis in the spirit of Elijah Lovejoy.
This book had a great plot that never became boring. Once I was kinda was getting bored with the book some new problem would arise
The characters develop well because the reader is aware of how they view each other, so we get a real sense of who the characters are and why they do what they do. Creating incredibly realistic and relatable characters. The novelist uses Lucy’s admiration for unique people and artistic integrity to introduce the idea of Shadow, an artist
Once we move ahead with the novel, the most enjoyable for me was the character build up
One reason is that the book feels like it has been months, but it was only eighteen days. The author uses amazing detail when describing the characters. For example, “Her hair is shoulder length, straight, and different kinds of brown. Her blue V-neck sweater matches her eyes and she wears a silver leaf necklace and plaid pants.” By using this type of description, I can visualize exactly what the characters look like.
I was also connected to the text more listening to her and how she tries to match her family experience to the family in the book. I noticed that she was very passionate about Japanese Internment camps, this made me want to strive to be passionate about the book as much as
Lester uses this unique feature to describe what our favorite characters will end up doing in the future, which I really liked. There are also many instances of good symbolism in this story. I also thought this book had an intriguing plotline that made me want to keep reading.
In Agatha Christie's book And Then There Were None, Emily Brent is a character that is deceptive because, although appearing to be a fine person with strong morals and a commitment to the bible, Emily Brent is actually a self-righteous murderer who manipulates the bible. Emily Brent comes across as a pleasant yet wary individual. On the surface, she appears to be mature and polite. She gives the impression of being a religious woman because she frequently reads and quotes from her Bible. As indicated in Chapter 1 Section IV, “Enveloped in an aura of righteousness and unyielding principles, Miss Brent sat in her crowded third-class carriage and triumphed over its discomfort and its heat”(Christie).
Arthur Dimmesdale was the town minister in The Scarlet Letter, a story of a young woman who committed adultery and faced the consequences, such as wearing a scarlet “A” on her chest. Dimmesdale was a very interesting character because he was very religious but also committed a sin that haunted him everyday. He also happened to be the man who was involved in the young woman’s adultery. He was never convicted, however he still faced the consequences everyday. Dimmesdale was a man of God.
It's like everything in the novel was done so deliberately. Everything is mentioned for a reason. Another thing that was so entertaining was the frequency of plot twists and turns and big reveals. It didn't feel like the characters just existed to fall in love with each other, like in most romances. The plot got every character driven and the characters didn't feel two-dimensional or flat.
How Justyce went through all of these horrible things, and still managed to be a good person in the end. Throughout this book Justyce went through lots of changes in how he thinks and feels, and what he notices about different situations. I noticed that when he made a mistake or something bad had just happened in the book, you never really realize how they are thinking, but in this book you knew everything that he was thinking, which I thought really helped convey the meaning of this book. How people that are the same as us just with different coloured skin went through all of these horrible things, that white coloured people thought that was right at the time. How this time damaged so many families and friendships because of the difference of
Secrets eat away at the soul, wearing it down piece by piece until there is nothing left. This causes guilt to completely cloud a vision of a person making sure the secret is concealed. This leads to the person to become consumed by the secret and can damage a person into becoming ill for keeping confidentiality. The soul suffers from containing the truth becomes ill as well. The soul becomes just as damaged as the person wounded by the truth not being exposed.
This book was interesting for me because it allowed me to relate to a character. I love reading novels that not only allow me to feel a connection with a character, but allow me to relate to their personality or
At times, the novel can be difficult to understand, therefore areas where the situation or writing is complex can be perceived more
Across centuries, characters have been an important part in carrying a plot. Animals, people and even thought-up species can be the main focus of the story, allowing the plot to move forward. Authors use character actions and thoughts as ways to illustrate the traits that each of them portray. These traits are important, as they assist the progression of the story.
