  • Stargirl Figurative Language

    Stargirl, a novel by Jerry Spinelli, is a remarkable book that I could not put down. The author does a marvelous job of keeping the story interesting and entertaining to read by adding unexpected twists to the story, like when Stargirl became normal and then changed back to Stargirl again. While I was reading, I felt like I was in the story, like I was a student at Mica High School in Arizona. This is all thanks to the author’s stunning descriptions that included figurative language and superior word choice, like on page 85 when the author wrote, “In school I was a yellow balloon, smiling and lazy, floating above the classrooms.” This novel is not like anything I have ever read before.

  • The Man Who Knew Belle Star Character Analysis

    When short stories are written they can be realistic, nonrealistic, scary, fantasy, etc. Some of the more realistic stories have the plot grow from the characters, meaning that the story unfolds and makes sense because of a character's personality. However there are stories that are set in a realistic time or place, but the story itself is less likely to happen in real life based on the behavior and personality of the characters, and appears to happen only by chance or coincidence. The short stories, "The Man Who Knew Belle Starr", by Richard Bausch and "A Good Man is Hard to Find", by Flannery O'Connor, follow fatal moments in their character's lives.

    "Character is what you are in the dark." -Dwight Lyman Moody. I believe that this quote is saying that when everyone is looking at a character or the attention is on them it’s easy to be the heroic good guy, but it takes real strength to do the right thing when no one is looking, even if the right thing to do isn’t easy or sometimes safe. For the story and character, I’m using in this essay, I am going to have to say I disagree with the quote.

She has a side to her that makes the reader want to dislike her, but as the story unfolds the reader then gets a deeper understanding. Beth’s reactions to situations could have maybe been better, but every person handles tragic events in different ways. Her cold shell hides the fact that events from the past scare her into feeling like an outcast. Any reader could tell that Beth’s character was strong, maybe cold, but definity strong.
