Analysis Of The Novel 'Red Queen'

The Red tent is a book that follows the life of a woman named Dinah. The stories that are told throughout take place in biblical times, and follows some of the lineage of the bible itself. The book begins by telling the story of Dinah’s four mothers, along with their relationship with Dinah’s father Jacob. After being introduced to Dinah herself, the book follows her life story from beginning to end, all the way from Haran, through Canaan, Shechem, and into Egypt. Throughout this paper, I will be describing and comparing events of the book verses modern day, in relationship to child birthing practices, family dynamics, personal life experiences of characters, along with discussing herbs, spices, and medications used by

Characterization also reveals the subtext, or underlying meanings in literature. It does this by revealing what the character is like and what their motives are. Over the plot of the story, more characteristics are found out about the characters and you can figure out why the characters are doing what they are doing. Characterization in The Crucible helped reveal the subtext that you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover. The direct characterization of Abigail Williams proves that you can’t assume someone's feelings just by the way the look. Since Abigail was good at concealing her true feelings, you can’t assume that the feeling she shows is the one she is actually feeling. The indirect characterization of John Proctor proves that you can’t think someone is innocent just because of their

There are many ways authors include literary devices to not only express their position on certain things, but also to evoke emotion and thought from readers for them to fully understand the reason for them being presented. The author may drop hints through tone, style, symbolism, and motifs. These four elements help lead the reader to infer reasoning, meaning, and significance behind aspects of every story.

Another very well used literary device in this story is personification. Personification is when an inanimate object is given human attributes. In the specific instance

Jane Austen composes the main protagonist, Elizabeth, as a mature and haste thinker with the purpose of juxtaposing Lydia's brashness and lack of foresight. The most obvious place that Austen instills this juxtaposition is when the author presents readers with a comparison between the events leading up to Lydia's marriage, to those of Elizabeth, readers find that Austen crafts Lydia

One example from the text is, “The dark sky, filled with angry, swirling clouds, reflected Greg Ridley’s mood...” In this quote the author uses a metaphor to compare the sky to Greg’s mood. This can help develop the mood, angry, of the story because the clouds are dark and swirling, which is not a happy mood. Another example from the story is, “The voice was high and brittle, like dry twigs being broken…” When the author uses this simile to compare Lemon Brown’s voice to twigs, a reader can understand that his character is not threatening and frightened. Since Lemon Brown sounds like twigs being broken and his voice was high then he is not going to scare any intruders. One last example from “The Treasure of Lemon Brown” is, “A car passed, its tires hissing over the wet street..” The use of personification in this quote can help develop setting. The car’s tires can not actually hiss, so the author is giving the tires a human quality. When the tires hiss over the wet street a reader can understand that the setting is a gloomy, dark, rainy day. In conclusion, Walter Dean Myers uses metaphors, similes, and personification to create the characteristics of the story’s mood, character, and

Queen, by Audrey Flack is a very captivating piece of artwork. It was painted in 1976, originally Audrey Flack took a picture and then used it as the basis for this painting. Queen is a painting of box that is full of special mementos. It has features such as a quarter of an open orange, a rose, a pocket watch, a queen playing card, a locket of an older and a younger woman, lip balm, perfume, a chess piece, blush, and a chain necklace with the letter “F” on it. The painting almost looks like a vanity drawer or a keepsake drawer. However, realizing the fruits and flower in the painting I understood it to be a collection of the artist's memories as opposed to a drawer. Audrey Flack was demonstrating the many things that were significant to her while aging. Queen signifies the fight against time. It shows that no matter what possessions you retain it will not keep you young. No one can win the battle against time.

One example of foreshadowing using characterization is that Arnold Friend begins as a strange man that was once staring at her, then he become a dangerous stalker, and when that happens, when you learn he’s a stalker, you get the feeling that he will do something worse to Connie than stalk her. On page 1, paragraph 7, and line 9 it reads “He wagged a finger and laughed and said,”Gonna get you, baby,” and Connie turned away again without Eddie noticing anything.” On page 4, paragraph 4 it reads “But I know what it is. I know your name and all about you, lots of things,” Arnold Friend said. He had not moved yet, but stood still leaning back against the side of his jalopy. “I took a special interest in you, such a pretty girl, and found out all about you-like I know your parents and sister are gone somewheres and I know where and how long they’re going to be gone, and I know who you were with last night, and your best friend's name is Betty. Right?” Arnold Friend is a manipulative person that you hypothesis will do something bad. When he introduces himself to Connie her tells her, everything that he knows about her and you start to classify him as a stalker. Arnold has a lot of personal and sensitive information on Connie. When he tells her that, you know he has to have

Authors use characterization to develop the actions of the characters. Like Mary’s actions in ‘The Lamb to the Slaughter’ by using different kinds of literature devices. Roald Dahl in "The Lamb to the Slaughter" uses characterization, imagery, and irony to develop the character of Mary so that the reader can understand what has occurred during the murder.

I. Book Title A. The title Red Queen relates to this book because Mare is a red, but she discovers she has powers like the Slivers. She is betrothed to Prince Maven and has the potential to become the first Red queen. Maven actually betrays her in the end, but gives her a chance to become his “Red Queen”. II.

Characterization is a literary element used by the author to present qualities of characters in a literary piece, the purpose of characterization is to make characters credible and make them suitable for the role they play in the work. Authors present various characters possessing dissimilar qualities, to emphasize different aspects of the work. In the novel “The Scarlet Letter”, the author Nathaneil Hawthorn’s depiction of the two male characters, Arthur Dimmesdale and Roger Chillingworth, emphasizes the moral problems of the seventeenth century puritan society. Hence, their different characters contribute vitally to the plot of the novel.

An example of a literary device used throughout the excerpt is imagery. “In Copacabana, the girls are fat and languid and eat pink slivers of guava right out of your hand. Even at Stage 1, their pelts are silky, sun-bleached to near invisibility. Our pack was hirsute and sinewy and mostly brunette. We had terrible posture. We went knuckling along the wooden floor on the calloused pads of our fists, baring row after row of tiny, wood-rotted teeth.” In St Lucy’s Home for Girls, Russell uses imagery to help the reader better understand how wild the pack of girls is, especially compared to other packs because we see, later on, the struggling of the nuns to “civilize” the girls. Another literary device Russell incorporates smoothly in her writing is the use of characterization. Take Mirabella for instance ”our littlest sister had the quickest reflexes. She used her

literary devices such as point of view and symbolism to give it a more dramatic effect and add to the madness the narrator portrays.

The book I read was “Red Queen” by Victoria Aveyard. This book connects to “self and society” in many ways, the main ones being, Mare has to fit into society as a silver to save her and her family’s lives, she must decide if her red blood but silver powers mean something and if so what, and lastly she must decide if if helping the revolution will really help. This book is about a certain type of society where people are put into two groups, red blooded and silver blooded. If you were silver blooded you had some sort of power which made you the upper class. Red blooded meant there was nothing special and they were peasants who had bad jobs and bad lives, they served the silvers.
