Summary Of Wereworld By Chris Jobling

618 Words3 Pages

Chris Jobling, the author of “Wereworld:Rage of Lions”, has understood the importance of literary devices. “The city appeared to be built on stilts, thanks to traders and sea captains who jostled for the best positions along the waterfront, pushing it farther into the Lyssian Straits” (Jobling 250). Chris Jobling uses symbolism to show the future of Drew’s (the main character) fate. Drew is the last werewolf in the world of Lyssia, and has fought and fought to make his domain and kingdom; when the author uses the “city [appearing] to be built on stilts” (Jobling 250), he is intending to show and symbolize that Drew’s forward progress of being courageous and righteous after evil will soon be tested. When a place is being described as on stilts, this symbolically means that there will be a large deal of problems about. For without strong foundations, the house will fall; Chris Jobling showed that this city did not have a strong foundation. As a result, his use of symbolism foreshadowed that bad things would happen to Drew in this crooked city. Just …show more content…

The author of “Wereworld:Rage of Lions”, Chris Jobling wrote his books including literary devices. He uses personification to add more of a vivid and detailed description of the events that unfold in his stories. The use of the “Wolfshead blade scything the back of one” (Jobling 216), personifies the sword; making the events that occur seem more surreal and to be taken less lightly. If the author would have said that Drew hit the man in the back with his sword, it would have made the events of the fight see stale and uninteresting. Since he made the sword be the wielder, the fights throughout the story keep the reader engaged. Chris Jobling took his literary devices seriously, and that is what makes his writing have stand alone features and not just be a dull, monotonous

Summary Of Way Beyond The Life Duboat By Kyle Whyte

836 Words | 4 Pages

The effects of climate change are asymmetrically felt across the world. Those who contribute the most to climate change generally do not suffer its effects, while those who contribute least feel its effects tenfold. Kyle Whyte explains this asymmetry is exactly what indigenous people face. In "Way Beyond the LifeBoat", Whyte argues that if the issues of colonialism and capitalism are not addressed in climate change mitigation tactics, the suffering of indigenous peoples will continue, just as if there was no action. Whyte's argumentation, use of allegory, and evocative language creates a piece that successfully conveys his thesis to those who have not considered the environmental justice aspect of combating climate change.
