My book is The Haunting of Gabriel Ashe written by Dan Poblocki. It is about a boy named Gabriel that has recently moved to his Grandmother's house with his family after their family home burnt to the ground. Gabe meets a neighbor boy named Seth who invites him to play the ‘Hunters Game’. The game begins to take over Gabe's mind and he begins to wonder if the game is actually real or make believe. Gabe Ashe is the narrator of the story.
Hatred was buried down deep between the Hatfields and the McCoys. Fanny McCoy guided herself through the twisted branches of family, love, and hatred. “The Coffin Quilt” by Ann Rinaldi told the story of the feud between the Hatfields and the McCoys, at least how Fanny McCoy lived it. But was she a trustworthy source of information for what happened? Her young age alone could cause some discrepancies with the telling of the arduous feud.

For me, Rick Riordan never disappoints the readers. The Burning Maze is a perfect third book for Trials of Apollo’s pentalogy. The Burning Maze carries a lot of knowledge. If you have a difficulty to understand a myth, you should start to read this book. Like all of the Rick Riordan’s works, the language of this book is easy to understand for general.
According to C.S. Lewis heaven and hell are very different because from the way that we see the world. In the book he talks to different people who all have different views of what they think heaven and hell are like. For example, the tousle headed poet who says that society has vulgarized intellect. He says that they don’t want new geniuses because intellectuals aren’t appreciated anymore. He also goes into detail about how his parents never appreciated him and how a former girlfriend hurt him.

Byatt does an excellent job of bringing the reader to a closer perspective and making the story feel alive and real. “The Thing” is most likely the biggest use of symbolism throughout this story. This creature, or “thing” that these girls believed they had seen, left possibly one of the biggest impacts on their life, leaving behind an unsettling amount of trauma. “The Thing” as described in the story, was blind, miserable and seemed to be in pain. It’s smell radiating off of it smelt of blocked drains, maggoty things, and rotten eggs.
Throughout the novel there are many objects. The three most prominent objects are CD’s, books, and eggs. The first main object that can be seen throughout the book is the CD’s. Ben and Claudia love listening to music, and have made many memories while listening to music.
“Listen my children and you shall hear of the midnight ride of Paul Revere,” this is in the poem “The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere.” The poem “Midnight ride of Paul Revere” was written by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. Longfellow wanted to write a story about a hero with a historical background. The website HW Longfellow states, “Longfellow's intention was not to write a history; it was to create a national hero and he was successful at doing so.” This means that the poem, Longfellow wrote is not historically accurate because he wanted to make it like a story instead of a historical poem.
When analyzing this short story, an argument could be made that all issues or criticisms made of this story, stem from its length. However, in response to this, I would claim that the short and unspecified nature of this story, which ultimately leaves the reader with many questions, is precisely what makes this story so great. As previously explored in this review, this story is thought-provoking, and uncanny, however, if all questions are answered, and the reader is left fully satisfied, it begs the question: What makes this story so great? In close relation to the foundational concern, its unanswered questions may lead some to believe that this story’s conflict is irrelevant, as there is no transparent resolution. The problem with this critique is that it fails to understand the story's theme, and ultimately dismisses the author’s intention to challenge traditional presumptions of the afterlife and human existence.
The Meaning Behind Objects : The symbolism of objects in “A Piano Lesson”, “The Glass Menagerie”, and “Molly and the Red Hat” A lot of times, authors love to use objects to symbolize a deeper meaning and message within a story. In the play “A Piano Lesson,” August Wilson uses a piano to symbolize the family's history and identity. Similarly, Tennessee Williams symbolizes fragility and uniqueness through a glass unicorn in his play “The Glass Menagerie.” Lastly, in the short story “Molly and the Red Hat”, Benjamin Rosenbaum symbolizes the dangers of being allured by cherished objects.
Stories often reveal deep truths about human lives, truths that can only be found by looking beyond the words plainly written on a page. In order to both tell the story and deliver deeper messages, authors strategically combine various literary elements to make up their writing. A prime example of thoroughly embedded literary elements is found in a novel written by Cormac McCarthy. This novel, The Road, contains an abundance of characterization, setting, and symbolism in particular. When analyzed, these elements provide yet another layer of meaning to any piece of writing.
Mitch Albom grew up with a family who loved to tell stories. He went from listening to them at the dinner table, to telling them through music, newspapers, and later books. Albom has a very distinct way of writing. Drawing in his experiences and talking about lessons he has learned. The Five People You Meet in Heaven and Tuesdays with Morrie have many parallels when it comes to characters and themes.
Hello, today I will be using objects and symbols to show different themes used in The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas by John Boyne. This book is about a young boy (Bruno) who is very curious and doesn’t understand what is going on around him and has so many questions, Why did they have to move from their nice house in Berlin to somewhere called “out with,” who are the people in the striped pyjamas on the other side of the fence and, why can’t he play with them. He asked the grown-ups but they do not listen to him so he decides he has to find out by himself. The First item I am displaying is the friendship bracelets, I chose this item as it symbolizes Bruno’s friendship with Shmuel.
