J.k Rowling is a good writer because she uses onomatopoeia. For example on page 43 in Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone, she wrote “crash”. This helps me understand that it wasn't a tap it was a crash. Another example is on page 46 is another quote J.K Rowling wrote “Boom”. It helps the reader almost feel it and you can hear it. A final example is on page 61 “Tap tap tap”. We the readers feel like we're in the book when it says tap tap tap instead of the owl taped on the window. As you can see these example show J.K Rowling is a great
With every word, you are able to understand and feel the emotions of the characters in the book, as well as, the mood and the scene. Another example of Eggers use of descriptive language lays this quote from the book “The two men sat together while the animals took over the night and the lights of Aweil threw jagged shadows over the town.” This sentence is so descriptive and dark, you practically feel as if you are sitting alongside the men as you read this. It makes you feel the night getting darker, later, losing possession of it to the animals and see the sharp, haunting shadows as if you were there in the moment. The descriptive language that is in this book entrances you, drawing you into the story and improving the readers experience and evokes emotion and thought from the reader since they are able to feel as if they were experiencing it first
His choice of words makes his writing unique and interesting that makes you want to keep reading. The vocabulary he uses matches perfectly with one another and creates this life and excitement. Such as, in Cycle of The Wolf. For instance, he wrote, “...but it's too late and his scream is lost under that snarling roar that rises in a sudden, chilling glissade to a howl.” The words snarling, chilling, and glissade all go nicely together and create this tingly feeling of being able to hear the frightening, blood-curdling scream and howl that King wanted to achieve. Just from that sentence you are latched on to the insane world of Stephen King. As critic Joshua Rotham said, “There are lots of writers who tell it like it is, but only a few who, with such commitment and intensity, tell it like it isn’t. King takes the weird and gives it
Why has the love of reading diminished over the years? Is it the reader’s lack of concentration? Or are there too many other entertainments to distract them? While these all play a part, the biggest reason is because writers have lost the art of using effective words. I used to not think twice about the words I used. But after reading five articles about writing, I saw how much of an effect word choice has on the reader. Five of the most important ways are using words with purpose, words with voice, simple words, imaginative words, and concrete words.
Today, Helen is considered the most inspired character of literature, whether it’s ancient or modern. She was born around 450-440 B.C. Her parents were the King and Queen of Sparta named Leda and Tyndareus. But the almighty Zeus guised himself as a swan and raped the Spartan queen causing her to produce two eggs. From one came Helen and her brother Pollux. From the other one came Clytemnestra and Castor.
Rowling’s strategy of figurative language such as anecdote or metaphor and diction relate the message with an emotional response from the audience. Rowling displays humility from her explanation of her background. To further her
The interesting/rhyming words are written down on a chart and after the book is completed these words are discussed. This is an example of code breaking. Code breaking according to Seely Flint, Kitson, Lowe & Shaw (2013, p. 226), is a focus on the letter to sound relationship and the structure of words. Spelling, phonemes or graphemes, or sentence structure all fall under the code-breaking category and are vital components in being able to read. Code breaking is also used in day three and four. First the class reads along with the entire book. Once this is done Eggleton goes back through the book and points to the interesting text features: commas, full stops, ellipses and speech marks. The next day the same process is repeated but the focus is shifted to phonics, phonemic awareness and letter sounds. On day five the students take the text and do an activity that relates such as a re-enactment or creating a new book using the characters and word patterns from the original
Joanne Rowling has impacted the literary world in incredible ways, and yet none know her name. She is the woman behind the curtain, and her simple exterior is only a facade for a mind full of brilliant ideas and creations. Though only those personally close to her know her by Joanne, the rest of the world admires her as the famous author of the Harry Potter universe: J.K. Rowling.
For example, ‘splash splosh’, ’squelch’ ‘squerch’ and ’hooo wooo’, were utilised to engage the audience’s mind with the motions of wading through a river, trudging their way through mud and the sounds of a snow storm. This method is more effective at engaging than simply stating ‘the mud was squishy’ or ‘the river was wet’. On a whole, the text has a good sense of rhythm and musicality. Even though the sentences are few and short, the receptiveness and use onomatopoeic words helps the story flow. “The sounds of words increase the appeal and strength of a story” (3) which is seen to be true in this particular picture
The poem is written in free verse, in that it has no regular pattern of metre or rhyme but is arranged in four stanzas of equal lengths. This suggests there is some control of the speaker’s voice, undermining the madness in which the character symbolises. Proposing that she is no longer labelled as being Dickens' 'Miss' Havisham, but as self-improved 'Havisham', a figure liberated from humiliation of her unmarried
Alcott was born in Germantown, Pennsylvania on November 29, 1832. She had three sisters; Anna, Elizabeth, and May Alcott. Her parents were Bronson and Abigail Alcott. They moved frequently between Concord and Boston, Massachusetts. They were educated by their father, who was a philosopher. Their mother also raised them as Christians. As a child, Alcott loved visiting the Ralph Waldo Emerson Library. She also loved to write stories. The sisters would often act out her stories. Alcott preferred playing the grim characters. Even though her life seemed very happy, her father’s business failed and couldn’t support the family. At age 15, Alcott knew that she wanted to be famous somehow to help her family in poverty. But, in the 1800’s she could find
Joanne K. Rowling is a plagiarist. Here are some facts to consider: Rowling does not have a middle name. My middle name is Ronald, my father's first name. I am the original creator of the Harry Potter stories before the plagiarism of it occurred. J. K. R. was formed by me as my mother's preferred name is Joy. I chose the name Joe as my first author name because my main character was first named after a girl I knew named Joanne. That was in 1980 when she was nine years old. I was 22. I am a Leo, so I chose letter K from the word "King" from the title name of my second story: 'The Lion King'. Letter R was taken from my father's first name and I named my friend in the story of Harry Potter 'Ronald' because of that. Joanne K. Rowling is a plagiarist. I
Before she was a famous author, J.K Rowling lived a challenging life. She “was born on July 31, 1965 near Bristol, England…(and) has one younger sister named Dianne” (Tieck 6). When she was young and growing up in the countryside, she loved literature. Victoria Peterson-Hilleque writes that Joanne was “Influenced by author and illustrator Richard Scarry” and “she wrote her first book at a young age about a rabbit sick with measles”. She continued being inspired by authors like Scarry and wrote into her teenaged years. However, when J.K was 15, her mother was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (Tieck 10). After learning this, she was even more motivated to continue writing. When she graduated from secondary school, she studied at Exeter University,
Literature has a very special corner in my heart.The idea of losing oneself in a realm where anything is a possibility fascinates me but what's more fascinating is how authors use an array of techniques to provoke that feeling one gets when reading an outstanding book. Growing up, I've been influenced by great authors like J.K. Rowling and J.D. Salinger. Their work can capture the reader’s mind and the hungry reader can only be satisfied by finishing the book only to find out hours have gone by. They have influenced me so much that some of my pieces have been published. One can only dream of captivating an audience’s attention merely by using words like my favorite authors do. With such great authors to practice my literary skills on, I've
“The stool he let fly hit the man’s right shoulder on the packed muscle under the shoulder blade - like solid rock, for all the effect one saw” (Homer 639). Odysseus has great physical strength, which many people view as one of the qualities an epic hero should have. An epic hero is not just someone with strength, but is a person with impressive qualities that perform admiring deeds. Although J.K. Rowling doesn’t have Odysseus’s super strength, she has been through her own battle. Odysseus fought for 20 years to get home, while Rowling battled depression along with poverty for a long period of her life. She is considered an epic hero because she survived a physical and a mental battle. Along with her battle, she became a successful single mother and an award-winning author.
Another factor which I believe has led to the novels success is that while reading, the reader wishes that they could live in this fantasy world created by Rowling where life is anything but ordinary. The novels make the reader somewhat desire a life like the one led by the characters of the novels, like going to a school to learn wizarding, always having extraordinary things happen and just being at Hogwarts seems like an unequaled joy for some. These novels have the ability to reignite the long lost imaginations of adults, and keep the imaginations of children strong.
