Figurative Language In Beastling

Having weird pets such as a snake, spider, or iguana can be an enormous amount of fun but having a deer as a pet is a completely different story. The yearling is a novel about a boy who befriends a deer and takes it in as a pet. Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings won a Pulitzer Prize for her novel The Yearling in 1939 for her use of syntax, figurative language, and sensory details.

According to Henry James, one of the characteristics of realism is the plausibility of the event. For him, a good novel uses imagination to create a story that can be plausible in real life. He argues that “experience is never limited, and it is never complete; it is an immense sensibility, a kind of huge spider-web of the finest silken threads suspended in the chamber of consciousness, and catching every air-borne particle in its tissue” (James 554), and “[experience] is the very atmosphere of the mind” (James 554). He also gives

Jeanne-Marie Leprince de Beaumont’s traditional fairy tale La Belle et La Bête (1756) has been adapted numerous times for screen, stage, prose, and television over the years. One of the modern adaptations of this tale is the movie Beastly (2011) which was directed by Daniel Barnz. The movie is set in New York and is about a selfish, shallow high school freshman who is transformed into a 'beast' by a witch, in order to learn his lesson and find true love. For the viewer “adaptation as adaptation is unavoidably a kind of intertextuality if the receiver is acquainted with the adapted text” (Hutcheon, p. 21). However,

The Secret Side of T.Ray Every monster is just a man at his core. In “The Secret Life of Bees”, directed by Gina Prince-Bythewood and written by Sue Monk Kidd, a teenage girl, Lily, runs away from her abusive father to the Boatwrights house in Tiburon, SC.

His parents are convinced, by Jody, to let him keep a fawn to a doe his father had recently harvested.

In Steelheart, Brandon Sanderson delivers the robust concluding lines, “I’ve seen Steelheart bleed. And i will see him bleed again” (Sanderson 9). These last two brief, seemingly trivial sentences, conceal this whole literary work within them. A young boy has witnessed his father be killed by the very being who was thought to protect them. With this slender feeling of hope essentially crushed from his very being, David, is the only living testimony to know this villain’s weakness. And with this information, he vows to seek retribution. The basis of this story was really compelling to me because of the incorporation of vivid imagery and descriptive figurative language, which allowed me to connect with the characters. Although not being able to completely resonate with this story, I have encountered the feeling of revenge, which was clearly foreseen within this writing and deeply empathetic.

(81). Most would agree with Irena in this statement because Rios loves to use magical realism in his short stories. Magical realism is a

I love the way the author explains himself along the story, he can use many types of figurative language at the same time and the reader can still have a clear idea of what the author is trying to address. I think that through this book, Jack London proved that he has an awesome writing style, because he can describe the characters, the animals and their surrounding in “White Fang” in a very interesting manner. For example, when he says: “He pointed toward the wall of darkness that pressed about them from every side. There was no suggestion of form in the utter blackness; only could been seen a pair of eyes gleaming like live coals.” He described this in such a special way that when you’re reading the book, you can easily imagine what

author was able to lure his reader's into almost believing the reality created by his imaginative writing.

Young girls are often stuck in a world of make believe, they are fed fairytales, dream up unimaginable views of reality and believe everyone will find their prince charming. This unrealistic perspective is formed through their experiences with different fairytales. As G.K. Chesterton tells the fairytale are a realistic world for children, “Fairy tales are more than true — not because they tell us dragons exist, but because they tell us dragons can be beaten”. Fairytales lead these girls to believe that in order to find true love there is some sort of intense journey one must go on. This idea of a journey for love has created a specific ideology for what love is and how to achieve it. In the text Beauty and the Beast by Madame Le Prince

Beauty’s role in beauty and the beast glorifies her as a sweet girl who can find light in any darkness. She prefers to move forward in life rather than sulk in misery. Being such a positive female character allows her to fall in love with a man who is not of the society standards of handsome, name Beast. She was more intent on focusing on what he had to offer as a person. Karen Rowe states in “Feminism and Fairy Tales” “such alluring fantasies gloss the heroine's inability to act self-assertively, total reliance on external rescues, willing bondage to father and prince, and her restriction to hearth and nursery” (Rowe). The heroine being beauty in this case, doesn't have opinions or rights because her character wasn't created to. Rowe believes that fairytales have paved the way for our expectations towards what women and men should be doing and what romance is. Rowe argues that “These "domestic fictions" reduce fairy tales to sentimental clichés, while they continue to glamorize a heroine's traditional yearning for romantic love which culminates in marriage” (Rowe). Beauty’s character found herself in these “sentimental cliches” with her

There are many different versions of Beauty and the Beast; It is a magical story of unconditional love. It teaches children that beauty is much more then skin deep. In this assignment I am to compare two, Beauty and the Beast stories; one by the renowned, famous Grimm Brothers as presented by Disney. The other called Beastly by the modern author Alex Flinn. The two versions have many similarities but still quite a few differences.

Believing in the what the author writes is an important fact for fictional books. Grafton creates well developed characters and places that are believable and real; even if they are complete fiction.
