Chapter 11: Quote Analysis

In the very beginning of Library of Souls, Ransom Riggs had inserted a quote; “The ends of the earth, the depths of the sea, the darkness of time, you have chosen all three.” -E.M. Forster. It connects to multiple different events throughout the book including; traveling to different areas, terrible things happening in water, and how time can cause harm.

I have incorporated important phrases and visuals onto the chair that fit the theme of the book. Starting from the top of the chair I have the quote, “There is a way to be good again.”(pg.2) On the back of that piece I have another quote saying “Maybe Hassan was the price I had to pay. The lamb I had to slay in order to win over Baba.”(pg.82) I put these quotes because they tie each other together well. Amir chose Baba's love over his friendship with Hassan which eventually lead him to be placed into the situation where he chooses to redeem himself. Below this, I have the word redemption because it is the theme of the novel. I painted the quote, “For you, a thousand times over.”(pg.391) on the strip of wood because when Amir said this quote

From Jonas’ point of view, bravery is defined as the ability to volunteer to do something in order to help the life/lives of someone or a group of people. He believes that bravery is sacrificing your life in order to save others. For example, on page 118, it states, “I’ll come back tomorrow, sir,’ he said quickly. Then he hesitated. ‘Unless, maybe there’s something I can do to help.’ The Giver looked up at him, his face contorted with suffering. ‘Please,’ he gasped, ‘take some of the pain.’.......The hands came, and the pain came with them and through them. Jonas braced himself and entered the memory which was torturing The Giver.” This quote proves how to Jonas, bravery and courage is when you unexpectedly volunteer to do something painful or dangerous in order to reduce the pain and danger of someone else. In this quote, Jonas volunteered to take some of The Giver’s burden away from him. Here, he was being brave. According to page 143, it also states, “And he, Jonas, would never have done it-never have requested release, no matter how difficult

The reason I chose this quote is because O’Brien reflects on his own storytelling after Bowker sends him a letter asking for a story. The letter that Bowker sends inspires O’Brien to use his own storytelling to help cope with his own experiences. This quote helps in proving that sometimes telling the truth in a story is not as important as emotional truth.The whole key of the book.

In the book, Of Mice and Men the topic of loneliness is brought upon by foreshadowing of the author. In the book, the author tries to portray loneliness with a characteristic that each character possesses. One of the biggest forms of loneliness would be owned by Candy and how his disability separates him from the rest of the people on the ranch. Candy suffers from a chopped limb located at his arm. The limb that was severed was around the bottom of his forearm and the top of his wrist, making his hand completely worthless.

Losing something or someone that you secretly always wanted to get rid of is a lot harder than you would think. Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck is about two lonely men by the names of Lennie and George. These men are traveling together to their new job because of the trouble that Lennie always seems to get in. They travel together because of Lennie’s mental incapabilities. Lennie doesn’t understand and is always getting himself and George into a lot of trouble. Of Mice and Men reveals that humanity is going to be upset if they lose something important to them even if they thought they wanted it gone the entire time.

This quote is the resolution in Unbroken. After being rescued from Japan, the falling point of the book, Louie’s post-war life suffered from frequent flashbacks and nightmares and he struggled with alcoholism. He had secretly dedicated his life to killing his past tormentor, Mutushiro Watanabe, thinking it was the only way for him to move on. At one point, during one of Louie’s flashbacks, he began to choke his own child thinking it was Watanabe. His wife, Cynthia, had temporarily left him. However, after being talked into attending a sermon led by Billy Graham, he remembered his past promises to God. When Louie was lost at sea, he prayed for rain and promised that if rain was provided for him, he would dedicate his life to God. This quote

“I guess humans like to watch a little destruction. Sand castles, a house of cards, that’s where they begin. Their great skill is their capacity to escalate” (Zusak 109). Why do we build card towers or set up a snake of dominos? To watch them fall down. We, as humans, are intrigued by wrecking a work of art and watching it go from something to nothing. Death expresses this thought before the book burning in Molching: Humans naturally have the desire to destroy. A little destruction does no harm, not when it is controlled and it is just a sand castle or another inanimate object being ruined. But Death mentions that we have a great skill to escalate, and he is mocking Hitler by saying he wasn’t

This was said by the first United States president George Washington to his niece Harriot Washington. This was said October 30, 1791 the meaning of this quote is that it is better to just tell the truth the first time rather than lying because lying is just a snowball effect. You lie once and then you have to lie again and again and many more times until you get in trouble. In the end it is always better to just tell the truth the first time and do not lie.

Mean: Winston has a dream of O’Brien telling him these things. The author is making Winston’s dream foreshadow something that might happen later on in the book.

In the novel, there are characters who are different and are unique in society. The characters are marginalised for being different and unique, the majority of the time in the novel. The characters are discriminated against for who they're, for characteristics such as looks and their unusable behaviours. Elijah wood is famed for many reasons, but his less well-known quote shows great insight, when he said "I think being different, going against the grain of society is the greatest thing in the world" By Elijah Wood. it's my pleasure to unpack this quote, and argue how the quote is incorrect. The discrimination of being different can effect a person life. This paper will include famous and Australian citizens examples of discrimination.

“ It’s like a soul that was much too big for her it filled her to the brim till there was no more space so it's followed out through her eyes” (lake 17)

The quote that I feel best represents the entire book is from when Lauren is talking to Eloise about her son moving away to college to which Eloise tells Lauren, “You can’t hold on to them forever. Everything can’t stay the same” (Pg. 212). The reason I believe this quote provides a good representation of this book is because I believe that this is a very good quote to have in the book and it does good job of representing the entire book. Especially where Eloise says, “Everything can’t stay the same.” This is entirely true throughout the entire book. Things were constantly changing with the people whom Lauren was taking care of. There constantly seemed to be someone who was passing away or someone who was moving in to replace that person's

One must admit that at some point in their lives they have asked a question already knowing the answer. Likewise, in the passage labeled, “In The Attic,” readers will notice that Marie experiences this same situation, also known as the literary term, hypophora. (Doerr 376-78) Which is when a character immediately answers his or her question themselves. At this time, Marie is trapped in her attic, alone, and not knowing what to do when she says, “ ‘Who knows what he seeks? You know what he seeks. I am so hungry Papa. Try to think about something else. Roaring falls of clear, cool water. You will survive, ma cherie. How can you know? Because of the diamond in your coat pocket. Because I left it here to protect you” (Doerr 376). This passage not

Using today’s quote of "Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter," what I think Martin Luther King, Jr. meant was that humans only become alive and living (metaphorically) when we raise our voice to things that matter and not stay silent about them. An example where it would apply to this quote is corresponding to saying that animal abuse is something to neglect instead of fighting for abolishing the abuse that animals have to endure because of what they are. Yes, I agree with this quote considering that no one is living until they voice what matters to them. One national or worldly issue that matters to me is the protesting of Black Lives Matter congregation assembly. It is important to me because black lives
