Personification In Avatar

422 Words2 Pages

Avatar Essay This movie was very stimulating and eye catching. It was full of action and excitement, there was never a dull moment. Being a person of little patience, I rarely ever sit through an entire movie. However, this movie was intriguing and it hooked me from the very beginning. It was like a good book that you can not but down. In the beginning I was fascinated with how simple the Navi live. They appreciate nature and find the good in the smallest things. In the year 2154, Jake Sully decides to carry on a mission his deceased twin brother had been working on for years. He takes a trip to Pandora with hopes of negotiating the Navi to relocate their home in order for the humans to access the valuable minerals underneath their deep-rooted home tree. Jake falling in love with Neytiri in Pandora results in him failing to complete the mission and aides the Navi, causing an ongoing war between the humans and the Navi. James Cameron uses personification, anaphora, and emotional appeal to show the re-occurring theme of the Navi’s true humanity. As Neytiri saves Jake in Pandora, she kills one of the wolves saying “Forgive me, my brother… May your spirit run with the Great Mother” (Cameron). Personification is being showed in this scene to …show more content…

Neytiri and Jake repeat this multiple times throughout the movie. Cameron uses anaphora to emphasize their romantic connection. Each time it is repeated, it adds more meaning behind it. The Navi see each other on the inside instead of with their physical eyes. Neytiri and Jake’s love goes beyond race. They view each other beyond their skin. Jake, does not view her as a tall, blue girl with pointy ears, he sees her for the fearless, beautiful woman she is and that is what he fell in love with. Neytiri also does the same when she holds him as a human. She sees no difference in body types because he is still the same

Personification In The Veldt

896 Words | 4 Pages

In The Veldt created by the one and only Ray Bradbury, he uses multiple examples of author’s craft such as personification and tone or mood. These crafts were written into the story to help prove and point out the theme of influencing children with so much technology early on can not only stir up violent thoughts but, can also cause breaks between friend and family relationships. The first author’s craft that can prove this theme to be true is personification. One example is, “the walls began to purr and recede.” Although walls can not do this, Ray Bradbury uses it in his story to show how much technology the family living in the Happy Home have given to their children.

Personification was used to show that the earth is similar to the feelings humans express; “the earth has guilt and care,” (line 13) and “though there be fury on the waves” (line 3). By expressing that the earth has guilt and care is personification understanding that the literal earth is not capable of expressing these feelings. When the author says, “though there be fury on the waves beneath them there is none” (lines 3-4) Hawthorne means the waves are wild, loud, and furious. Waves, however, cannot have fury, that is a human
