In Wordsworth’s “We Are Seven,” the speaker is a man significantly older than the young female subject. He is foreign to her country lifestyle, to a certain extent, based on the way he describes the girl’s “woodland air” and unkempt appearance (9). He believes he is superior to the child and is too set in his ways to understand the world the way she does. He most likely shared the poem because the interaction with the child had a profound effect on him. Toward the end of the poem it is clear he is

The focus then shifts onto elaborating the relationship between Scarlett and Nobody using the song “You’ve Got a Friend,” by Carole King. Due to his isolation, Bod has never had contact with another living being. Growing up in an abnormal environment and exposure to a fragment of the real world (fragments of reality) aroused an interest in life outside the graveyard. Bod at home with the dark and the supernatural, therefore has to realize the trepidation normally associated with those things and

Gaiman’s,“The Graveyard Book” is the opening scene that sets off a consequent chain of significant events. Gaiman begins the chapter by setting an ominous tone and then he describes a suspicious scene and man, indicating the massacre of a family.

It was “long inactive, [and] stood bordered by a crumbling wall”(Lennon 184). The road into the graveyard is filled with weeds and is only cut about once or twice a year. It is old and decrepit, as also shown by the “crooked and worn stones”. By indicating that the graveyard had not been cared for in a while shows that it did not have many outside visitors

front of us. Me and Amie bolted past Gabe leaving him to be the second victim of the man. Me and Amie just listened to the screams as we started running toward the graveyard in a hope of escaping. We had to run through saplings of trees and more shrugs scratching up our legs. Stubbing our toes on hidden rocks. Amie could see the graveyard a bit away. We ran into the open gates and started through the maze of headstones. I tripped over one causing me to scrape my knee. Amie helped me back up off the

In Neil Gaiman’s, The Graveyard Book there are multiple themes that one could get from this story.This story is about a young boy. His family was brutally murdered, but he managed to escape in time. The young boy wandered off into a graveyard where he was taken under the wing of some friendly ghost. They then named him Nobody, later shortened to Bod, and raised him. Bod was finding himself on his amazing adventure through the graveyard, meeting new friends and learning to adjust to his abnormal

the book The Graveyard Book, Neil Gaiman illustrates this beautifully, showing how the protagonist, Nobody Owens is a dynamic character and changes throughout the story. One way Bod changes is how he realizes that life is the journey between being born and death, and he wants to live life to its full extent.
