Comparing The Red Room by H.G. Wells and The Darkness Out There by Penelope Lively

Color can also determine perception and time; as in The Skeleton Key with the light, moss and old trees; the colors of light, neutral and earth tones are considered the good powers. On the other hand when we think of evil, blood or violence we think of the color red. When someone gets hurts and there’s blood, immediately it triggers a warning signal to another person; danger, somethings happened. When we see a lot of blood we know it’s a dangerous situation and it means possible death. To some it’s Dracula, sacrifice, devil, and fire. Everyone has a right to believe how they want. In The Skeleton Key we see throughout the movie the color red; how red lines of red brick dust are placed in various locations. Caroline uses the brick dust to try to keep Violet, evil out. Surprisingly, flabbergasted by the results, Caroline realizes the truth about Violet when she will not enter the room. Although Hoodoo is a religion, it’s not real unless you believe it’s real; like witchcraft and voodoo. When Caroline goes in the secret room of the attic, she discovers hair, blood, bones and hoodoo ritual paraphernalia. Caroline approaches Violet and tells her what she found and told her she needs to know what happened to Ben when he was in the attic. Violet

The comparisons and contrasts between The Hiding Place and Night. Both books were written with struggles, tenderness, agony, and fear in mind. Of these two books only one comes out and realizes that what they have gone through was not a cruse but some what a blessing from God, Himself. The struggles both face is more than just man against man but it is also a struggle within to find who they truly are and whom they truly believe in. Both main characters, Eli and Corrie, faced something they never knew they could face but only one comes out stronger than the other.

Every author has their own way of making the elements of fiction work the best in the best interest of their narrative. One of the most important elements of fiction is the character. The character brings the story to life and gives one narrative something another narrative may not have, even if the stories are the same. The character in Elizabeth Tallent’s "No One's a Mystery" in contrast to the character in Kate Chopin's "The Story of an Hour" has a different outlook on the future even though both women are in a similar situation. The narratives are about young women in love and in relationships. However, one woman is content in staying in her unstable relationship, while the other is dying to escape her unhappy relationship. Their objectives are completely different as far as their futures are concerned, but both women seem to share the uncertainty of the current situation they find themselves in.

In any dystopian novel, the protagonist usually has certain characteristics. Naturally, Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451 (F451) and Veronica Roth’s Divergent both follow the same mold. Both Guy Montag and Tris Pryor stood alone in their societies and stood up for what they believed was right. Montag and Tris both rebel against their oppressive governments but take different routes.

A red light was used when the cabin changed from the captains quarters to the cargo cabin. The red light creates a tension on stage as it is used to identify the source of conflict in the production. Using the colour red can be interpreted as a foreshadow of the violence that would happen in that cabin, as that is where the vampire feeds of the captain and where he rises from in a later scene. The colour red was chosen as there are connotations and associations that can be made from the colour choice as 'Most people view the colour red to represent violence, anger and perhaps war' (Wolf and Block, 2014, Pg 347). However, while using colour can generate associations it can also be argued that 'placing too much emphasis on the psychological effects of colour is a mistake' (Wolf and Block, 2014, Pg 347). Each member of the audience that watched the production may interpret the use of the colour differently, and the colour can be interpreted differently based on cultural differences 'Red may recall foreboding or violence in the West, and luck or prosperity for a Chinese audience' (Mort S, 2011. Pg

In The Autobiography of Alice B Toklas, Gertrude Stein mentions many artists and writers that she had a relationship with. From artists like Picasso and Cézanne to writers like Hemingway and E.E Cummings, Stein had a large yet interesting group of friends and even more interesting things to say about them. She speaks the fondest of the people like Picasso who she likes best and does not say much about other artists like Cézanne who she is not very fond of. E.E Cummings Book The Enormous Room is not only original and interesting like Stein states, but it can be used to better understand Steins The AutoBiography of Alice B. Toklas.

The description of the old people creates a supernatural eerie sense in the book, The Red Room. They are described as though they are inhuman creatures. The word "pale" makes the reader think of ghosts as that is the common vision that people have of ghosts and the way they could look.

In the case of 'The Red Room' there is also a description of a man

The Dark Game and The Code Book both have similarities in espionage that differ in the way the story is told, how its explained ,and the ideas used. The Dark Game has a way of telling the story in a narrative point of view. Its Lively when it describes the points in the story so it seems more fun to read for readers. The Dark Game also uses chronological order in the story to get the story going and the reader more invested.
