Although, both Amir and Rahim Khan tell their stories in a formal manner. Hosseini does this to add ferocity to the story, whilst the change of manner of voice suggests a significant change to the reader. Hosseini uses the change of voice to show a turning point within the story as Hassan is brought back to Amir’s memory. The whole chapter is spoken in Rahim Khan’s narrative and is mostly his dialogue in monologue, though readers understand that Amir is listening as he references his presence, ‘‘You’d recognise him.’’ The style of monologue helps tell the story personally so that the readers become involved and indulge in every detail. It also allows sole focus on the story Rahim Khan is telling, once again pointing to extreme significance and importance within the story.
And so did Mary Ann.” (97). The text also talks about the importance of flow in storytelling by describing how Kiley tended to interrupt the flow of his stories with commentary and questions. Mitchell Sanders told Kiley that “that just breaks the spell. It destroys the magic. What you have to do is trust your own story.
“A Sound Of Thunder” In the short story “A Sound of Thunder”, Ray Bradbury uses literary devices such as foreshadowing, and imagery to tell the theme, and to enhance the story. Ray Bradbury uses the literary device, imagery to show a picture in the readers head. He also uses imagery to describe things like Eckels nervousness of the situation and to deliver the theme. Bradbury also uses foreshadowing and to deliver the theme. Foreshadowing and imagery are both used to deliver the theme that being careless with technology can be harmful to life.
“Before you left, I pinned one onto your lapel, crimped petals, spasms of paper red, disrupting a blockade of yellow bias binding around your blazer.” What the poet says is significant because she is remembering exactly what she did that day all those years ago in fine detail. This I think is because this is the day he leaves to go to war and this stands out a lot to her and she shows her emotion when it says “All my words flattened, rolled, turned into felt, slowly melting.” Comparing it to The right word again like Poppies the poet creates strong feelings by the language used straight away in the first stanza. The poet says “outside the door, lurking in the shadows is a terrorist”. The word terrorist stands out to you the reader and grabs your attention straight away. This makes you want to read on and find out what is about to happen.
Jenkins application of imagery to explore the theme is seen in how his particular use of religious imagery and allegory are prevalent in the text. For example the setting, World War Two in the Scottish Highlands, is representative of the Garden of Eden before the fall of man and the destruction of paradise as described in Genesis. Evidence of this can be found in “the bell heather streaming like fire along the top of the dyke” which, in crossing, Margaret breaks the “sacred promise” she made earlier to Miss Laing, her teacher. Just as Jenkins’ powerful imagery in these lines has strong connotations with the “flaming sword which turned in all directions” [Genesis 3:24] which God created to guard the tree of Knowledge from mortal temptation so too does Margaret’s disobedience demonstrate the loss of innocence which war brings.
“Trust me, though, the words were on their way, and when they arrived, Leisel would hold them in her hands like the clouds, and she would wring them out like the rain.” -Narrator 1. The Narrator makes a point of inquiry explaining Leisel’s feelings. This quote is important I believe because it expresses the moment where Rudy fell for Leisel. This quote is contradicting, because it says love is worse than hate. I think this quote is used in this way because what Leisel needs the most is the value of friendship through Rudy, not love.
Apples & Oranges There are multiple ways to write a story. One approach fills your head with such atmosphere that you know exactly where the character is going and can picture the area around this narrator. Doing this can ground you into the story and guide you along as it progresses. Another approach would be to give you enough information so that you know what’s going on but not so much that you linger on events or atmosphere. This story can put you in a place and then push you briskly through the story as you read it.

Commenting closely on the writing of your chosen section, show how it contributes to the sense of terror in “Out of the Blue” Armitage presents and develops terror in many different ways and whether that is through stylistic technique, language, form or structure, it deeply effects the reader. I will explore how he does this and if he does it effectively. Fear is presented straight away in the first stanza by imagery of the twin towers being calm and still and fear effects everyone afterwards. The first line “The silent prongs of a tuning fork, testing the calm.” is short and includes caesura and end stopping which causes an eerie emphasis on the image created of the twin towers like a tuning fork. The two prongs are symbolic of the twin
ENGLISH ESSAY Both For The Fire and Summer Rain written by John Foulcher, heavily rely on imagery such as personification, metaphors and similes as well as sound devices like onomatopoeia, assonance and alliteration to explore the relationship between the human and natural world in a very negative light. While two poems have negative imagery to their message, they don’t share a negative message. For The Fire focuses on how nature’s world survives and the natural order must be accepted. On the other hand Summer Rain reveals a far more negative and critical tone. Ironically the title should show joy and happiness; however this idea is contrasted with the strong mood of sadness and despair as unlike For The Fire, this poem focuses on the restructure
