Kevin Millard writes about fry bread and how that particular dish is exceedingly important to Indigenous peoples. My version of fry bread is caldo de pollo, in english the direct translation is broth of chicken or chicken broth. Caldo de pollo is a traditional hot soup that is both made in my Mexican and Guatemalan backgrounds. The main ingredients include but are definitely not limited to piernas de pollo (chicken legs), elote (corn), papas (potatoes), and vegetales (vegetables). Just like fry bread, there are many different variations of caldo de pollo, the dish itself is always in a constant change.
Night or Ender's Game are very similar and dissimilar in so many different ways. Night is a more realistic kind of book, while Ender's Game is more of a book that you have to think in depth about and try to put yourself in similar scenarios. The main character in Night is a young boy that is fifteen facing some challenges in life and the way he overcomes some of his circumstances. Ender’s Game is about a boy named Ender who is six years old. He gets an opportunity to go discover new things and apply his knowledge.

The author uses a lot of description, symbolism, and similes to show the desire of the kids to see the sun.
Jealousy leads people to do things that they otherwise may not have done. This apparent in the text "All Summer in a Day" by Ray Bradbury, a young girl, by the name of Margot, has an experience all of the other children envy. As the only one who remembers the sun during a seven-year rain, she has to deal with the trauma of being away from the sun that means so much to her. Consequently, the children hate her for this and treat her with complete disrespect and zero regard to her emotions. Bradbury displays jealousy's negative impact on someone's behavior and exposes human nature's tendency to want what others have with his use of pivotal moments.
Ray Bradbury’s story, “All Summer in a Day,” takes place on the planet Venus, where it rains heavily all the time. The protagonist, Margot, recently arrived to venus from Earth. Margot remembers what all the other children on Venus can’t, the sun. Because Margot is the only one who remembers the light and joy the sun brings, the children grow jealous of her. One lesson that this story suggests is that if you get caught up in your own jealousy, you can end up hurting others.
In life we can all relate to the feeling of longing for something. In All Summer in a Day, Ray Bradbury’s characters’ lives are clouded with rain and the only see the sun once every seven years. Bradbury uses metaphors, emotions, and repetition to express the sun’s meaning of hope to the main character, Margot, and the children of rocket men and women on Venus. Metaphors and emotions are used to help the reader relate to the connection with the sun. He describes the sun and the rain using metaphors, and uses the children’s emotions to help further the idea.
Lecture’s Central Argument: Metaphor is used in all kinds of aspect, including daily conversation, film, literature, music etc. to show what the author feels, see and experiences. It is important because it helps readers understand a more abstract concept. Lecture’s Supporting Evidence/Examples: Metaphor is widely used in many forms and ways. For example, one may say, “I feel so down today”. In this context, that individual doesn’t mean it literally but metaphorically meaning that he or she doesn’t feel good or feels depress.
In all of the stories Bradbury uses loads of similes to help describe the text to the reader. An example of a simile from “There Will Come Soft Rains” is, “The dinner dishes manipulated like magic tricks”. This is an example of a simile because it helps give you a picture of how fast the dishes multiplied. An example of a simile from Fahrenheit 451 is, “he slowed as if a wind had sprung up from nowhere”. This is an example of a simile because it shows what it could have looked like.
In All Summer in a Day, Ray Bradbury uses symbolism, similes and plenty of vivid description to show the hope the children have for a brighter future and their need for change. First of all the author uses the rain to symbolize many things, while at the same time dreaming is used to symbolize hope, and the sun is a symbol portraying each child’s bright future. Similes are also extremely important as they show the desperate hope and need for a bright future. Furthermore with these types of author's craft Ray Bradbury uses repetition. However it does not go along with hope as well as the other pieces of author’s craft that have been mentioned previously.
Similar to similes, metaphors also compare two unlikely things to each other, but without using “like” or “as” to do so. One specific example of a metaphor could be when Bradbury wrote, “She was an old photograph dusted from an album, whitened away, and if she spoke at all her voice would be a ghost”(Bradbury 11). By comparing Margot to an old photograph and a ghost, readers can see just how much the rain has affected her in ways such as making her very shy and quiet and how the rain has brought out all color within her making her look old and gloomy. Metaphors, just like the other crafts, play a special role in making the stories more interesting and exciting.
The narrator of the story,a small boy, lives in a poor community where the street is always busy with traffic, making it unsafe for children to play. However this continuous traffic does not deter the narrator. In this vignette, the narrator has a Buddha figure,which was given to him by his uncle. Carrying the smiling Buddha everywhere,the narrator shows an affinity to the figure. Perhaps,the narrator believes that the Buddha will keep him out of harm.
