Her use of figurative language makes it easier to picture the characters as well as obtain an idea of how the characters may feel at the time. The figurative language reveals, in detail, the appearance of the characters as well as their personality.

Brooke's use of figurative language moves the story forward by revealing new characters, the feelings of characters, and/or new locations. The author's use of sensory detail contributes greatly to the struggles and emotions of the students. In the way she uses it, she shows how horrific an event may be, how disheartening something may be, and/or how cheerful and jovial something may be. She uses sensory details to reveal the, typically physical, features of characters.

When we are still children, running around the playground with our friends, our goals in life and what we want to be when we grow up are much different than later in life. We want to me mermaids, princesses, astronauts. When we get older though our values change. Instead of going after what our heart really wants to do, we go after the jobs that offer the biggest paycheck. Our culture’s minds have been warped and bent towards the desire to have a bigger house, a cooler car, and fancier clothes. We put what we think is right in our minds over what we truly love to do deep down in our hearts.

Torvald’s usage and choice of pet names swayed Nora to leave her family. “Is that my little lark twittering about?” (Ibsen 3) The use of the possessive “my” as well as the comparison to an animal as Torvald’s way of expressing affection or approval towards Nora is a recurring theme throughout A Doll’s House. The objectification of Nora in these comments as an animal that belongs to Torvald is singularly abusive in that it’s humiliating for a human to be degraded to the status of an owned animal. “If your little squirrel were to ask you for something very, very prettily- ?” (33) Nora’s uncomfortableness in this degradation is evident in that that interaction is the only time Nora shows any enthusiasm or encouragement for the pet names and

Ray Bradbury once said, “Why go to a machine when you could go to a human being.” This statement has become progressively true as an increasing number of people rely more on0 technology than they do human interaction. They prefer to depend on the screens in front of them, thus farther removing themselves from society.

Family leaves the deepest wounds. Whether a parent or a great-aunt’s step-child; family should love and support no matter what, so naturally arguments and conflicts within families leave harsher scars.

Through the entirety of “The Veldt,” the reader can tell that something is not right and that something bad is going to happen. The reader can tell this because of the authors amazing use of imagery, diction, and figurative language to foreshadow the end of the story.

In the story “The Veldt,” Ray Bradbury uses several literary devices in order to hint the reader towards the ending of the story. Specifically, the author uses imagery, diction, and figurative language to foreshadow the conclusion to his tale.
