In Allegiant by Veronica Roth the narrator switches between Tobias and Tris. There are some good things about this, one of them is how it gives a different perspective to what is going on. Another reason this is good is because in the other books the reader only saw it from Tris’s perspective but in this we know what Tobias thinks about this. There are also negatives to switching between narrators one of them being sometimes when there is a lot of action and it is hard to tell which one is speaking even though the book
Nathaniel Hawthorne's short story "Young Goodman Brown" is an excellent example of an allegory. Allegories use events, characters or symbolism as a bizarre or abstract representation of ideas in the story, and throughout "Young Goodman Brown", Hawthorne uses a heavy amount of symbolism, as well as his characters and the events of the story line to develop a religious allegory. A large symbolic role is played by protagonist Goodman Brown's wife, Faith. Also, the main event in the short story, Brown's journey into the forest, holds several major symbolic roles such as the traveler's staff, and the thick mass of black clouds. This essay will be exploring how Hawthorne used symbolism to achieve an allegory within his short story.
Tobias once again observes the movements of Marcus and Johanna. The Allegiant had stolen factionless weapons. He witnesses Marcus and Johanna holding guns.

Veronica Roth has many inspiring quotes and lines in her book, Carve the Mark, but only one really stood out to me when reading this week. The line that stood out to me was definitely, “And we were both, for once, laughing.” (pg 131). This line stood out to me the most for two reasons, Cyra and Akos are finally becoming friends and they are showing that people from Thuvhe and Shotet can get along. This line was also very surprising to me because Cyra and Akos are getting along, but also having fun. Cyra and Akos have been acquainted because of currentgifts for a while, but finally after a while they are getting along together. Cyra and Akos currentgifts are related to each other because Akos can cure Cyra’s pain every time he is touching her.
for this one page essay. I feel throughout the story all of the characters change in a good & bad way.
Another way is that dynamic characters make for a more complete story. Had Beatrice not had been a dynamic character there would be no story. Once every year all sixteen-year-olds must select a faction in which they will dedicate their lives to, and put faction over family. Beatrice must decide staying with her family or be who she really is. Beatrice is also hiding a life threatening secret. What starts her change is when Beatrice chooses to switch out of her faction, Abnegation, and into Dauntless, and when she changes her name to Tris. In the beginning of the book Tris is dependent on others and is obedient.

Edgar Allan Poe is an American poet/ author of many poems and short stories. A few of his most popular include “The Raven,” “The Cask of Amontillado,” and “The Tell-Tale Heart.” All of these stories have a few things in common. Edgar Allan Poe is very famous for using classical allusion in ‘The Cask of Amontillado,” when he references the Masons group. Allusion is an implied or indirect reference especially in literature.(Merriam Webster Dictionary) Poe uses this piece of literary language very explicitly in many of his poems and short stories. Poe also almost always writes about death, or loss of a loved one in his poems or short stories. His most famous poem about death is “The Raven,” where the narrator loses his beloved Lenore.
The voice that tells the story is the author, Laura Hillenband, she is a narrator speaking in 3rd person omniscient. The audience gets to hear, and understand every character’s thoughts and see their actions. There is only one speaker/narrator throughout the story. The speaker is not clearly identified as a person or character in the story, but rather as a narrator that sees and knows all. There are many facts/statistics added throughout the story which shows that the speaker is well educated on the topic. Their emotional state is stable, but the range of their emotions allows the audience to get a full spectrum of what everyone is feeling. The speaker’s background does not shape her point of view, instead she acts like an overseer simply telling
His word choice is easy to follow, and he gets right to the point. He also makes the reader draw conclusions and infer. In the outer story, the father is just about finished with telling the inner story to his daughter and he finishes by saying “things change”. This makes the reader think deeper about the meaning. It makes them think about what's changed, and how it affected the characters in the story.

I believe that a story can change depending what how the reader perceives it, and what questions they ask themselves about it. First off, our main question to ask ourselves and our literary superiors, is “When was this story written? What history and or events was occurring at
The reason as to why the protagonist changed over the course of the story is change, change
“You don’t understand Alyxander… Shes incapable of handling a task this big. If you really want to send her to her death….well then, what type of Watchdog are you. Surely not the kind i’ve known.” There was a woman standing tucked in the corner with a man. They looked to be in an attack.
She wonders how each choice will affect the city and how it will affect her. The tagline of Insurgent is “one choice can destroy you” (Roth). Tris’ decision can destroy her, not literally, but emotionally. Deciding against Evelyn means deciding against Tobias, whom she trusts and loves. But deciding to go against Marcus and to help Evelyn’s plan succeed, means destroying an entire faction and killing more people. “How strange that something so simple could have been instrumental in my decision to ruin one of my most important relationships and friendships, and damage another” (Roth 155). Tris ultimately decides against Evelyn and Tobias is not happy with her. Not only does Tris have endless amounts of guilt swimming through her head, she has to decide the fate of her city. Actress Shailene Woodley, who plays Tris in the Divergent Trilogy movies, shared in an interview with Los Angeles Times, “it was fun to explore this Tris because she was going through so much more of an internal emotional battle than in the first movie. In the last film she lost her parents, she lost her best friend, so in this movie she’s dealing with a lot of guilt while also trying to figure out how to continue to aid the community that exists around her.” Tris’ final decision may define the final outcome for the community. When talking about if Tris will kill the main antagonist, Janine, in an interview with The Huffington Post, Roth says that Tris always has “her parents in her head, telling her what’s right and what’s wrong.” Tris listens to what she imagines her parents would tell her and that is where she bases her decisions
