Similes And Metaphors In Hariharan's The Thousand Faces Of Night

The title of ‘Night’ hides a secret message for the whole book, because of the fact that basically the entire book is dark in all sorts of ways. To explain this, throughout the book, Eliezer mentions how dark it is many times. For example, “Dusk had fallen. Daylight disappeared into a gray mist” (Wiesel, Elie). I also connected the title to how dark the book is in terms of what happens. As the story progresses, the feeling you get becomes more and more somber, and the image you get in your head seems to always be in a dark, gloomy environment. Because of this message, the title of this book plays a very significant part in the plot.

Perspective is important. The way you look at something may be drastically different from the way I look at something, giving us a potentially vast difference in opinion. This applies to literature as well and is shown in the different narratives the stories are written in. Different stories are better written in different types of narratives (including first, second or third person narratives) and “Night” is no exception. “Night” is written in a first-person narrative, which in my opinion, is very effective in carrying across the author’s point. First-person narration in this novel allows us to connect with the narrator and understand the situation in a realistic sense, as well as being the most fitting narrative for this novel, it makes sense

In The Color of Water James McBride has the tendencies of using similes and metaphors to make his memories more lively. The tone is enlightened because after conducting the interview with his mother his interpretation of her when he was a child has changed and it reflected when he reflects on his thoughts when he was a kid.“My siblings had already instilled the notion of black pride in me. I would have preferred that Mommy were black. Now, as a grown man, I feel privileged to have come from two worlds. My view of the world is not merely that of a black man but that of a black man with something of a Jewish soul.” (McBride 103). As a grown man, I understand now, understand how her Christian principles and trust in God kept her going through

In the short story A Sound of Thunder Ray Bradbury, many metaphors and similes are used to describe the T. Rex as an evil, giant being, who is impossible to defeat. Of course, towards the end of the story, the giant, evil, green, massive dinosaur is shot, and tree falls upon it for good measure. In the story, Eckels pays a whopping ten thousand dollars to shoot a T. Rex in 60 million years in the past. He is given a safari guide, and they set off to the Jurassic. While they are getting there through the time machine, Travis, the safari guide, tells Eckels about all the rules and precautions, so they don’t change the past. When they finally arrive, there is a metal path laid out in front of them, six inches above the ground, so they don’t contaminate the soil. The group starts walking to the T. Rex. When Eckels sees the T. Rex, the author stars describing how massive and scary it is. Eckels even gives a hyperbole for how tall the massive creature is. Eckels panics and accidentally steps off the path, killing a butterfly unknowingly. When they get back, Travis is furious for Eckels’ misstep, but Eckels tells him it’s fine. Eckels is horrified to discover that the president that was elected last time, was replaced by a dictator-like person. Travis later kills Eckels because everything is messed up. Ray Bradbury uses the T. Rex to symbolize chaos.

Many of his pieces can be matched and described as poems. For instance the dress from ‘Sarabande’ spring/summer 2007 had silk flowers and real flowers sewn together in it the real flowers lost their charm and fell all the way while the model wearing then sashayed across the ramp. The concept ‘all beautiful things die’ is nothing short than poetic. The direct resemblance goes to the Malayalam Poet Kumaranasan’s much celebrated work ‘Veenapoov’. Which talks about the same concept through a fallen flower and how it losses it’s charm slowly. The poetic element in the design is

Have you ever had any troubles sleeping at night? Some people might have an inability to sleep, a sleeping disorder called insomnia. But, for Adam Young, he had trouble sleeping at night, and yet, still have a very colorful vivid dreams. In “Fireflies”, by Owl City, Adam Young is trying to show his vivid dreams when he was young by using many figurative languages such as simile, metaphor, hyperbole, personification, and repetition.

Imagery is used throughout the story of Night to help a reader better understand the writer’s life. The author, Elie Wiesel, experienced many traumatic events while in the concentration camps of Poland. Through the use of magery, the author is able to create a more realistic rendering of his life. When in the camps, a bell signified the hour that the prisoners were forced to go to bed. Wiesel hated following a strict regime of orders. He transmits his feelings to the reader through his imagery used in the memoir. The author writes, “The bell regulated everything. It gave me orders and I executed them blindly. I hated that bell. When I happened to dream of a better world, I imagined a universe without a bell”

Night goes through the journey of Elie Wiesel, a Jewish prisoner, in concentration camps. In the concentration camps, Eliezer fights through the internal and external struggles along with his father. Some of the struggles they go through include the cruelty shown to them. In order to fully understand Elie’s pain, Wiesel uses literary devices such as similes. Night provides similes to further demonstrate compassion and cruelty throughout Elie’s time in concentration camps.

On the whole, the reasons why this book is called “Night” is because it had symbolised darkness,

The writing style of Khaled Hosseini in A Thousand Splendid Suns is both sympathetic and disgusted. He feels pity on those that bear the burden of the war. He shows this mostly through the use of two major literary devices: Symbolism and Imagery. These two literary devices impact the reader because it gives a deeper insight and understanding of the pain and fear these characters were forced into dealing with every day.

“5 Months” by Zander Plotkin & Ben Miller uses similes and Imagery to help the reader imagine living in the author's memories and moments. This poem seems to be about two friends who fulfill one's bucket list due to one of them having five months left to live. On line 14 they state, “Let's go courtside to the wizard game and sit like were kings”((Plotkin, Miller). This is a simile relating to that they are going to get the best seats you can buy at a basketball game. This helps the reader understand how special it is to sit courtside. You can infer that the next 5 months are going to be spent doing special things. Also, another example of figurative language is when the authors write “We will also get to smell the popcorn in the crowd”(Plotkin,

Metaphors by Sylvia Plath The poem 'metaphors' by Sylvia Plath deals with strong issues of pregnancy. The poem was written when she was pregnant. She wrote about her mixed feelings and emotions. The poem itself is a metaphor.

   In response to Raymond Chandler's The Big Sleep, I have just one question. Why all the similes? There isn't a single page in the novel that doesn't display this annoying literary device. Everything is "like this" or "like that." It never ends! Similar to decoding a secret message that isn't difficult to understand, but nevertheless tiring due to the overwhelming amount of messages, the novel is frustrating to read. The following analysis acknowledges Chandler's creativity in developing his main character, Philip Marlowe, with his usage of simile. However, the excessive style of the novel creates a dominating force that ultimately leaves the reader unfulfilled at the end.
