In the book, Maniac Magee, Jerry Spinelli uses descriptive details, and actions to develop the main character, Maniac Magee. Jerry Spinelli developed Maniac to seem to be a very helpful person in the book. When maniac was living with the beales and Jerry Spinelli made Maniac do this action, “He carried out the trash…” This action showed that Maniac was a helpful person because he was helping Mrs. beale around the house. The next action that Mr. Spinelli gave maniac that showed Maniac was a helpful person was, “ mowed the grass, cleaned up his own spills…”
She leaves her house and heads out for a thrill seeking journey where she encounters new friends, finds love, and explores how the real world works. Reading this story, I could understand exactly how she was feeling because she was basically writing in a journal. Since she was the “author” she would directly characterize what she was doing or how she felt. An example of a direct characterization would be Mary’s main line “I am Mary Iris Malone and I am not okay.”
“Into the woods” by Cheryl Strayed is a not only a story about the journey to the inner on the Pacific Crest Trail, but also the journey to the inner of a human at the moment of facing a challenge. Through internal dialogues that disclose thoughts and detail descriptions using literary figures, the author achieved move our imagination to a crossing and allow us an understanding of her feelings. By making explicit a nuance of feelings Strayed let to the reader knows what is happening in her mind when is determined start a crossing that herself find difficult to believe, “It was absurd and ridiculously difficult and I was profoundly unprepared to do it.” Instead of pretend be a heroin, Strayed shows to the public her vulnerability as a human being with fears and doubts.

In the story Maniac Magee, Jerry Spinelli (the author) had created a character, Amanda. I know, from the story that Amanda is high handed because of her actions. First of all, I understand how Amanda is high handed where when she was yelling at Maniac. He wanted to leave and run because someone said something that hurt Maniac inside. She was being very high handed because she told him that what a random guy said was not true and she wanted him to stay.
INTRODUCTION Descriptive and figurative language is a way for an author to express and bring their characters’ life and experiences to life. Descriptive language is used to create images that appeal to the reader’s senses. Helping the reader to get a clear picture of how the subject looks, feels, smell or taste. In Vertigo, Amanda Lohrey uses descriptive language to bring the characters to life. She uses this to layer the emotions as they lead up to the climax.
In the story “Sagittarius” by Greg Hrbek, there are descriptive phrases that set the mood. They are important because they give the reader an explanation of what's going on with the characters. They're also important because it gives a specific perspective to the reader and helps their imagination. The story is about a family that deals with a deformed child with four legs. The section of the story that stood out to me the most is when the father comes home to his son standing, even with his condition because it gives you the dad's opinion about his son,what his problem is, and it makes you feel a certain way about the character.
Jerry is that one character that had a huge impact on me. I think in many ways he had an impact on many people he didn 't go with the crowd and he did pay the punishment for that. Jerrys disturbed the universe caused a lot of trouble in the all boys school of Trinity. He had a small influence on the other boys, but it was one Jerry Vs. all the vigils.
The author described Amanda as organized without saying it. For example when Maniac and Amanda first met they started talking about her suitcase and her books. ¨Books, all right. Both sides of the suitcase crammed with them. Dozens more than anyone would ever need for homework.¨ Amanda had a suitcase that had dozens of books in it.
Jerry Spinelli uses descriptive details, dialogue, actions, and thoughts to help identify the characters in the book in many ways. Let’s start with dialogue: Most likely at the least 45% of this book is filled with dialogue, now I would show you every little detail but I won 't because that would take too long. So I’ll at least give a few or more examples: All dialogue of 1 page: “Oh, some picker bush.” “What were you doing there?”
Speak Essay: Figurative language has a tremendous influence on literature because it enlivens the words and makes them jump off the page. This allows the reader to visualize the scene in a unique, explicit way. Laurie Anderson’s Speak demonstrates an abundant use of figurative language. Figurative language appears in various forms; this includes simile, metaphor, personification, symbol, hyperbole and more.
of the character. Because of the tone, it also may cause the reader to feel a certain way. The tone and mood are very essential to a book. Without the tone or mood , you would basically be reading a dictionary.
such as her use of detailed imagery when describing how she resembled a wriggling beetle to put a comical image in the reader's mind. Her use of positive diction to make light of her serious situation, and her different uses of tone, help educate her readers about the difficulties of living with a
Now, in some worldviews, such as ontological materialism, others are seen as mere matter in motion ,and mere physical mechanisms. Other, in term of ontological materialism, is all being with lives which is purely physical. I respectfully reject this view because that not all lives are able to think logically with valuable ideas and behave under ethical criterias. We are able to find reason in other mammals, but critical reflective reason is an emergent property that comes from nature and is mostly developed by human as critical thinkers. Human are special and different from other creatures because people do not only have moral duty to treat “self” and “others” equally based on ethical schema, but also can use critical thinking to develop and

Set in Toledo, Ohio, Taylor details the ‘s family’s journey with just a gold Cadillac and a road trip to the southern United States. Along the way, ‘Lois’ childlike innocence takes a hit once the realities of racism become part of her world.
The style of which the story is being written is both descriptive and quite colorful, for example, “Um-hmm!... Ain’t you got nobody home to tell you to wash your face?”(Hughes pg.1) Hughes also introduces some specific languages and styles of literary devices such as repetition, hyperboles, and interjection. He also uses an exaggeration when trying to make a point, for example, “She said, ‘You a lie!’” ( Hughes pg.1 ).
