##bury's Excerpt InDandelion Wind, By Ray Bradbury

This shows that meteorological conditions are able to affect a character’s thoughts and alter their feelings. As has been noted, Shelley accentuates the description of spring to express the hope and renewal bestowed upon the creature by the exemplifications of the weather.

In All Summer In A Day, Ray Bradbury uses two different types of author's craft. These two types of author’s craft are symbolism and descriptive language, they are used to show the need for children’s freedom. The first example of author’s craft is symbolism. The author uses the depressing rain and the sun as symbolism because it shows the relationship between Margot and the students. One possible counter claim is imagery. The dark forest is the example of imagery. It grows up and then gets crushed by the rain over and over again. The last example of author's craft in All Summer In A Day is descriptive language. Ray Bradbury uses the sun as descriptive language. Margot says it’s like a fire, in a stove. It’s like a penny, it’s hot and shiney. Symbolism and Descriptive

The tone of the story, objects, and the sentence structures help us relate to the dark theme. "Speaking softly the names of our dead" and "now that summer has long since fled and time has had its way." these quotes are examples of how the writer's word choice affected how we feel about the story. The two quotes listed in the previous sentence give a dark, like death, feeling. The first quote gives a sense of hearing reminders of those how have passed in the wind. The second quote gives an understanding of "how time has had its way" an abundance amount of things significant to the narrator happened during the summer like him helping his younger brother walk as well as helping him accomplish other things that everyone thought he would never be able to do. Now all of those memories seemed to have been ages ago when in reality it might have been only a couple of months ago. Thereupon the unfortunate event of Doodle's death in the middle of August making it seem as if time were flying by. "summer was dead, but autumn had not yet been born, that the ibis lit in the bleeding tree" this quote is foreshadowing awful events that are to come. We later find out that it had been in the summer when the two young boys bonded. It might have started with pride, but it ended with the forming of an improbable

Bradbury begins the passage using personification and other rhetorical devices to show the reader the visuals of Douglas's waking up to a summer day. The author states that the town is at "ease in bed", with this use of personification he couches the concept that the town is calm and relaxed as a human sleeping that makes it more relatable and vivid which leads the reader to believe that it's very early in the morning. Furthermore, Bradbury uses a simile,"he flashed his gaze like beacon" to correlate his gaze looking at the trees at night to a lighthouse. The author continues up the first part of the excerpt with a metaphor and polysyndeton,"swarming trees of elm and oak and maple." The metaphor leads us to visualize the large number of trees while polysyndeton gives slow rhythm and creates illusion of a long sequence thus the many trees

The author applies personification when he states "ease bed" to illustrate how the town is in a calm environment. We can imfer that its before sunrise,and the town is still seized by the pillows' dreams. Furthermore, he creates a vivid image by implying that "the world had the proper touch, the breathing of the world," to show the slow pace of the summer arrival. This helps us understand how the little boy values time and wants to enjoy summer to the fullest. The use of hyperbole is implied towards the middle of the excerpt to give a landish emphasis. For instance, The author exaggerates when he States that the little boy "is riding high in the June wind" to set the mood and setting.Douglas Spaulding feels all the power ,as he is in the cupola bedroom a variety of emotions drive with his wild imagination .In addition ,the author over emphasizes that the little boy would bake "ten thousand chickens" to express the way Douglas feels .It's summer the boy feels he can do anything and hes overwhelmed of all the things he is capable of doing throughout the season .

This is prominently seen in the passage, “Summertime, oh summertime, pattern of life indelible, the fade-proof lake, the woods unshatterable, the pasture with the sweetfern and the juniper forever and ever, summer without end.” In this passage, White uses metaphors to describe the lake and the woods; he uses more hyperboles to exaggerate the general magnitude of life, sweetfern, juniper, and summer. He not only tells the reader how the setting looks, but he also shows it with figurative

The sea is conveyed as the dominant setting in the short fiction for it is apparent that it surrounds the additional elements incorporated in this passage. With the aid of McDunn such atmosphere is assureds due to the cryptic depiction of the sea he provides when he describes the sea as unknown. McDunn frankly states that the sea is mysterious when he thoughtfully says “The mysteries of the sea”, he further metaphorically declares that it is a damned snowflake for “It rolls and swells a thousand shapes and colours, no two alike” this portrays the sea as undefined, not having a fixed appearance. Bradbury use of a simile aids in helping the audience visualize the sea without giving a forthright description, this additionally aids the mysterious mood he set out to create. It also describes its distinctiveness in the sense that it is multifarious in shape and colour and is constantly transforming into something else. Throughout the reading McDunn voices how peculiar the sea is, this furthermore supports the idea that the sea is “strange” and abnormal as well as the fact that it is the residence of the menacing monster. By means of the description of the sea Ray Bradbury was able to communicate the mysteries it beheld, whilst creating a suspenseful and enigmatic

Bradbury does this in a passage where he writes, ‘He came to a cloverleaf intersection which stood silent where two main highways crossed the town. During the day it was a thunderous surge of cars, the gas stations open, a great great insect rustling and a ceaseless jockeying for position as the scarab-beetles, a faint incense puttering from their exhausts, skimmed homeward to the far directions. But now these highways, too, were like streams in a dry season, all stone and bed and moon radiance.’ In this passage, Bradbury shows us that during the day, things were really hectic. You can imagine a busy day in the sunlight, with people everywhere. There was ‘a thunderous surge of cars’, businesses open, people out and about getting their tasks done. But at night, it is silent, dark and empty. This was shown when Ray had us imagine the highways as ‘streams in a dry season, all stone and bed and moon radiance.’ Imagery is a really good way for readers to understand the setting because it shows the reader in great detail what the situation looks like. It shows us the details instead of telling us what is

Although street lamps do not ususally have a sound to them the writer is setting the mood for the poem by using a simile that has words that combined give off an ominous feeling. By using the word “fatalistic” the poem starts to take on a much more dark and creepy mood. The speaker is trying to show that this is not going to be a positive experience that they are having with the nighttime and the events that they will encounter.

In the passage above, the climate of one particularly harsh dry season in Okonkwo’s village is being described. The use of personification by the author when describing the affect of the sun on the village helps create an accurate image of the hardships of the dry season. For example, Achebe writes that “the sun had been gathering strength till it seemed to breathe a breath of fire on the earth” (Achebe 130). This human-like description of the sun provides an easy way for the reader to understand that the heat from the sun was very intense and therefore caused many problems for the famers that year. The fourth sentence in this passage which uses the imagery “the sands felt like live coals to the feet” (130) also adds emphasis to the description

“The morning was one peculiar to that coast. Everything was mute and calm; everything grey. The sea, though undulated into long roods of swells, seemed fixed, and was sleeked at the surface like waved lead that has cooled and set in the smelter’s mould. The sky seemed a grey mantle. Flights of troubled grey fowl, kith and kin with flights of troubled gray vapors among which they were mixed, skimmed low and fitfully over the waters, as swallows over meadows before storms. Shadows present, foreshadowing deeper shadows to come.”

In All Summer in a Day, ray Bradbury artistically uses symbolism to illustrate the kids desire for the sun. furthermore in the second paragraph of this article it gives evidence as to why Ray Bradbury uses symbolism to illustrate the kids desire for the sun. More specifically, it will give two of the reasons why symbolism represents the kid's desire for the sun. In the following paragraph there will be another possible author's craft that could thought to be most important.Then it will explain why that author's craft is not the one that was chosen for this article. Then It will return to this articles craft and give more reasons as to why that's the most important craft.

In lines 3-5, the author uses personification to attribute the weather of summer as if it was a human doing something, for example, "summer gathered in the weather, the wind had the proper touch, the breathing of the world was long and warm and slow." In the quote, the weather of summer is calm and relaxing referencing it as "long and warm" and the wind blowing as if it were a person blowing air. In line 11, the author uses another instance of personification to amaze Douglas of summer, for example, "let summer idle him", which means that summer "idles" him as in, makes him still of amazement on its early morning stream. In line 14, the author uses hyperbole to exaggerate the summer wind, for instance, "riding high in the June wind", which means Douglas is overstating the feeling wind of summer as if he was riding it. In line 16, the author uses a metaphor to make trees clean each other with water, for example, "At night when the trees washed together" which means when its at night the trees end up being washed when they are close together. In lines 16-17, the author uses simile to compare Douglas with an object, for instance, "he flashed his gaze like a beacon from his lighthouse", which means that Douglas looks steadily at the outside of his house like a "beacon from a lighthouse" and compares him as a "lighthouse" to show how he gazes the outside. In

Nobody really wants sadness in their life. In All Summer In A Day, Ray Bradbury’s character’s have a problematic life with years of rain and no sunshine. Throughout the story he uses the rain to symbolize the children’s sadness.

As the protagonist aimlessly wanders at night through the town streets, the reader is able to pick up on symbols, as well as foreshadowing that show that the protagonist is not only inexperienced but on the road to misfortune. When the protagonist decides to go on his walk he is warned that it is unsafe to do so by the one-eyed owner of the boardinghouse; however, he shrugs it off and decides to go anyway. The unexplained mentioning of the owners missing eye suggests that there is reasoning for his words and hints towards what is to come if the protagonist disregards his cautions. His reckless behaviour also indicates that while innocently trusting his surroundings he feels as if he knows everything. The protagonist then steps outside and is engulfed by the darkness of night; he is blindly stumbling along the cobblestone street. The author pairs the symbols of night and darkness to suggest the unknown chaos and danger that the protagonist is on route for. In addition, blindness is used to suggest his ignorance and limited senses. Lastly, the narrator describes “a white wall that was crumbled in places”(p.163) and how he was “blinded by such whiteness.”(p.163) The colour white is a sign for innocence hence making the crumbling of the wall reveal the upcoming loss of the protagonist's innocence through the means of trauma. These portrayals of ignorance and innocence are not only recognisable by the
