Being invisible from the world is nearly impossible, but a man, an invisible man named Griffin did the impossible and survived. Is biomedical advancement such as being invisible dangerous to both society and individuals? Some biomedical advancements are absolutely dangerous to everyone and even a society. In the book, ‘The Invisible Man’ written by H.G. Wells, Griffin a scientist did something virtually impossible, Griffin turned himself invisible.

2) Krakauer uses figurative language very meticulously throughout the novel to build the theme allure of the wilderness. Since McCandless spends a lot of time in nature beauty, the author uses different types of figurative language to describe the American wilderness. For example, he says "Its satellites surrender to the low Kantishna plain."(Krakauer : 9). Here the author uses personification to give human traits like "surrender" to non-living objects like "satellites".

Figurative language was provided through the series of Harry Potter. Figurative language is excellent for revealing actions of character just like when “Harry felt a slight squirm of discomfort, as though a small snake had stirred inside him” (Rowling, pg. 417). The imagery gives specific descriptions of the certain setting happening through the books. Imagery was used in book 3 (The Prisoner of Azkaban) when the narrator said "Harry looked into the shadowed eyes of Sirius Black, the only part of the sunken face that seemed alive.”

One of my most cherished thoughts is that all goals are in grasp if you can work hard enought and long enought you can achieve them. I also believe with dedication any person can reach what they dreamed about.

The use of figurative language, repetition, and diction illustrates the miserable lives predetermined for a new generation. Eady uses figurative language in order to convey the colorlessness and desperation of the lives of young people. Each child was thrown into a life already lived by their parents and grandparents. Instead of being considered a unique addition to society, the children were “born to be gray”(line 1).

Figurative language is a language that uses words or expressions with a meaning that is different from the literal interpretation. When the author uses literary language, he or she is stating the facts as they are. Figurative language is very common in poetry, and is also used in prose and nonfiction as well. In the stories “The Treasure of Lemon Brown” by Walter Dean Myer and “ The Contender” by Robert Lipsyte the authors use figurative language to describe the mood, setting, and the characters.

In the book Canyons, Gary Paulsen uses figurative language multiple times as a method to construe scenes to the reader in an easily understandable way. To start of with an example of figurative language is when the author writes “They were all over the van like gremlins” this

For example, when my grandmother was young, she used to dream about being surrounded by a loving family. She was an orphan. She often tells me stories about how she would lie awake at night dreaming about just that. Many kids in her orphanage used to tell her that none of them were ever going to have a life like that “Why would we?” they said, “can you not see not even our parents wanted us!” Despite all the harsh words, she kept on dreaming and overcame all her obstacles and has reached her goal. Even though your goals might seem impossible, if you dream big you might get just that.

Nate Brodie has a dream to meet Tom Brady and to win a million dollars. The only way he can accomplish this goal is with hard work and determination.

The theme of the book is “to never give up on your dream.” Even if you think your goal seems

Wanting for dreams to come true don’t do that themselves, it depends on what choices we do and don’t make that help us strive towards our longings. Unless, we are all controlled by fate, playing out the part in our lives that had been pre-organized for us. The unit selections Into the Wild by Jon Krakauer, a biographical novel, and Macbeth by William Shakespeare, a drama, both focus on things we can and can 't control in our lives, but Into the Wild does a better job answering the question in the prompt because rules are meant to be broken, Chris McCandless just took it to the next level. He was able to leave his life behind, making decisions most of us couldn 't even imagine making. He sets an example of what we can achieve in life. We

Michael Jordan once said, “Some people want it to happen, some wish it would happen, others make it happen.” In order to achieve your goals, you must work for it and be determined to get them. You can stay home and dream about your goals, or you can go out and actually take a risk. This quote shows the theme of determination in Where the Red Fern Grows, by Wilson Rawls.

I found a theme that carried throughout the whole book, Hunger Games, by Suzanne Collins. This is the story about Katniss Everdeen and how she got drafted to fight twenty-three others in an arena. She must go through many struggles to end up winning, along with her new lover, Peeta. One simple theme, perseverance, runs throughout the whole book. The complex lesson the story suggests is that perseverance, emotional or physical, not only helps one, but helps others and causes them to persevere as well.

The last theme is the impossibility of dreams. Most of the characters dream of a
