Lorax And Jabberwocky Similarities

Words that stand out to me are “Randy roosters and operatic hens”, “true songster”, and “swoops, bleats, echoes, rapidly repeated bebops-I mean rebopped bebops-...”. Most of these words are adjectives. The phrase “Randy” is describing the roosters, operatic is describing the hens, “true songster” is describing Bird, and the last quote is describing what Bird’s music sounded like. The language in these words are general and specific, when talking about the last quote, where Bird’s the sound of music is described.

For instance, when Dr. Seuss rhymed in The Lorax, he didn’t create new words to rhyme with authentic words, yet in The Sneetches, he invented new words to rhyme with specific words. For example, in The Sneetches, Dr. Seuss stated, “And it berked, and it bopped them about, but the thing really worked!” Dr. Seuss created the word “berked” to make sure that the flow of the rhyme scheme would be consistent. When he rhymed in The Lorax, he used relevant words and the rhyme scheme stayed persistent. For instance, in The Lorax, Dr. Seuss affirmed, “Don’t knock at his door. He stays in his Lerkim on top of his store. He stays in his Lerkim, cold under the floor, where he makes his own clothes out of miff-muttered moof.” Even though Dr. Seuss devised new words in the story, the abstract words did not rhyme with any other words or phrases. Dr. Suess also cogitated many other aspects of each story, such as the characters.

Lastly, Wilbur and Collins use contrasting rhyme schemes to imply that children must be kept uninfluenced and pure in order to flourish in their childhood. In “A Barred Owl”, Wilbur uses a very consistent end rhyme scheme in which he rhymes every two lines, AABBCC to create a playful, childish feeling. The reader can then connect more with

Thesis Statement- Dr. Seuss’ The Lorax and Lewis Carroll's Jabberwocky, though created in different time periods, share a lot of the same literary techniques and ideas. However, there are also many differences in the way word choice is used, the overall tone of the story, and whether or not there is a moral of the story.

natural world is imagery. Imagery means to use figurative language to represent objects, actions and ideas in such a way that it appeals to our physical senses. It is one of the most important devices in “Jabberwocky”. Without using imagery, the poem can be boring, not interesting, and not even exiting. This literary device is based on visual images. The example of an imagery could be this line: “He took his vorpal sword in hand…”(Carroll, 9) The action in this line is that the boy is taking out his sword, he is getting ready to fight with the natural world, with the Jabberwock. You can clearly imagine picture in your head how boy is taking out his “vorpal sword”. Another example of an imagery is this stanza: “The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame/ Came whiffling through the tulgey wood/ And burbled as it came!”(Carroll, 14-16). There is a clear image of scary monster that wants to attack. Especially notice the words “eyes of flame”, “whiffling”, and “burbled”, without them image would be represented bad. Lewis Carroll uses a lot of imagery to represent the theme of “Jabberwocky”. This vivid imagining of boy fighting with the beast helps the reader in picturing human against natural

Oxymoron: A contrast between words. Examples: “Unusually normal.” “Coherent gibberish.” “Pretty ugly.” Uses: Readers second guess the literary work and have a better understanding of the idea the author is conveying.

There are many examples of how diction is used in “A Barred Owl”. When Wilbur mentions “The warping night-air” (Wilbur, 1), it created an ominous tone by giving off a negative connotation right from the start. Wilbur then mentions “Words, which can make our terrors bravely clear” (Wilbur, 7) In this line, the word that resonates clearly is “Terror” which illustrates the the severity of her fear. Fear, among many emotions often occupies the majority of our thoughts, as shown when Wilbur mentions the “owl’s voice into her darkened room” (Wilbur, 2).

While reading the children’s book, I found the word choice to be simple and the sentences flowed easily (Jess). I think this made the book more appealing towards children, and by extension their parents. Parents want their children to be able to understand the words and their meaning. While not rhyming like a Dr. Seuss book, there is a rhythm to the words that I think most people would find appealing. Jess supplemented this by giving a delivery that was similar to a parent reading the book to a child for

The book “The Lorax” written by Theodor Seuss Geisel is well written. The plot is about a boy who goes out of town to visit the Once-ler due to curiosity of how the land got destroyed. The Once-ler went on to tell the story about how he destroys the land. The story is mostly about how he, the Once-ler cuts down all the Truffula trees without the thought of what could happen. He goes completely against the Lorax rather than making friends with him. He then realizes what he has done and felt bad. The book was mostly set where the Truffula trees are (past the town) it shows how beautiful the land is then how it got destroyed. There are a lot of character differences such as the book mostly has characters with first person point of view. The boy who goes to see the Once-ler was never given a name (how sad). He gets

“Jabberwocky”- Speaker: Mom/Dad, Tone: Playful, Figurative Language: Lines 14-16, Sensory Image: “The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame, Came whiffling through the tulgey wood, And burbled as it came”. In “Jabberwocky” by Louis Carroll, the boy playfully conquers the creature called the Jabberwocky and feels appreciated. The poem is about a boy playing in the woods and killing a creature that his parent refers to as the Jabberwock. The use of diction in this poem shows that it is playful when Carroll says the words, “snicker-snack” (18) and “beamish boy” (22).

Racial tensions are those that exist between people of different races. In this case, it is shown to exist between caucasians and African Americans. In the novel Crooked Letter, Crooked Letter by Tom Franklin and the television show, Stranger Things by the Duffer brothers, the relationships among the black and white characters is comparable in terms of racial treatment. This is demonstrated through words and actions portrayed by the characters in both the novel and the television series. Despite both exploring racial tension in the same time period, Stranger Things is more inconspicuous at displaying instances of racism through words and actions, while, Crooked Letter, Crooked Letter is direct and blatant.

4. The whole poem has an apostrophe. The Jabberwock is a metaphor for the despair of having to continually count meters and create rhyme. Since the despair cannot do that itself, Carroll created a personification by turning despair into the Jabberwock.

Of the animation techniques, staging and squash and stretch are, for me, the most evident in Little Nemo. While the scenes transition into the next, McCay skillfully leads the viewers’ eyes. For example, as the spiky-haired "Little Imp" character appears from Flip the clown's puff of cigar smoke, Flip's arm swings as he walks back, emphasizing Little Imp’s entrance. Similarly, as Nemo appears, the other characters’ heads move in his direction. Although implemented throughout, McCay dedicates an entire sequence demonstrating the squash and stretch technique, showing Nemo magically distorting the other two. A technique I, at first, thought was slightly lacking

"Wn a bby fst ts 2 kmnikt the wrds snd gibberish. " No one knows what the baby is trying to say. The poem, "Jabberwocky," written by Lewis Carroll, uses meaningless speech to either frustrate or amuse the reader. When trying to pronounce the nonsense words in the poem, the sounds of the words come out as gibberish. The sounds are the important element of the poem. Often, people like to hear poets read in languages they cannot understand. A woman leaving a reading by the Polish poet Czeslaw Milosz said she was glad he'd read some of his work in Polish because the language sounded exciting, like horse hooves over cobblestones.
