The False Prince is an adventure-fantasy novel that revolves around a deadly competition to become the subject of a cunning plan to place an impersonator on the throne. Written by Jennifer A. Nielsen, The False Prince is the first book in the Ascendance Trilogy. It begins with pursuers chasing after the lead character, who had just stolen a roast to feed his fellow orphans, which had me fully engrossed from the very beginning. The rest of the story is just as absorbing. When it comes to my criteria of a good book, which is originality, engagement, memorable characters, and skillfully presented mechanics, The False Prince delivers in every aspect and has become one of my most loved novels.

For the sake of conveying a stronger message Marilyn Dumont uses a number of literary devices namely apostrophe, alliteration, metaphors and distinct style in the poem “Our Prince”. In this very poem she focuses on the life of Louis Riel and the troubles he faced while fighting for the rights of the Métis population.

Another literary device used in this poem is an alliteration in the line “Be it trouble, tremble, or

In the case of Abd al-Rahman, the main character in “Prince Among Slaves,” some can say the prince compromised his integrity for the sake of his family. He doesn’t compromise his dignity and even builds, what some would consider, a dignified life during his time as a slave. “Prince Among Slaves” emphasizes keeping one’s integrity or compromising it when it may be necessary.

Before he begins his worldwide trip, he volunteers at an orphanage in Nepal named “the little princes” mainly out of a sense of guilt rather than an actual desire to help. Expecting it to be a short and meaningless time he soon finds himself on a long and difficult journey that will change him in ways that he never expected. Through his time with the children of the orphanage Conor finds himself changing in ways he did not expect as he experiences the world outside of his own country, develops a genuine desire to help others before himself, and eventually gaining a new sense of purpose. This change brought on by his time spent with the children is apparent throughout his journey as he is tested again and again to see how far he will go and just what kind of man he will be in the end.

In The Prince, multiple examples are given, and many of the examples have varying settings. Some settings include France, the Roman Empire, and various locations in Italy. Because Machiavelli was from Florence, Italy, the main setting of the book was in Florence.

Temptation is an evil force and is often symbolized in a story as a serpent. These creatures embody temptation because society already associates them with evils. In The Little Prince, the snake symbolizes just that. By listening to the comments of the snake, a reader can determine that she is trying to tempt the prince into better deals. The snake in Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s The Little Prince shows temptation by displaying the power, isolation, and pain temptation can inflict.
