The part of the book that the connection relates to is when the Evil Queen is tempting Edmund with Turkish Delight. I connected this part of the book to Matthew 4:1-11 where Jesus is in the desert and the devil is tempting him. this helped my understanding of the story because I pictured the bible story in my mind but twisted it to fit the chapters of the book. It also helped because
THe part of the book I decided to make a connection to is when Lucy is trying to tell everyone that the wardrobe is there but no one believes her. I related this to myself because in my family I am the youngest and sometimes when I say things no one believes me because they think I am lying.
This helped me understand the book because I know what Lucy was going through when none of her siblings would believe her and they thought she lying. So I was able to understand better

The connection I chose to make was when the evil queen tricked Edmund into believing that she was good. I chose to connect this to again the bible because in the bible the devil is very evil but tricks people into thinking that he is good.
This helped me understand the book better because I was able to imagine more clearly the snow queen being the devil and tricking Edmund into believing that she is good and then telling to so tell his sibling that she is good.
The connection I chose to make was when Susan and Peter went to the professor to go tell him about Lucy. I chose to connect this to myself because often times when I am unsure I usually go ask someone for a second opinion of what they think.
This helped me understand the book better because I was able to understand where Susan and Peter were coming from because sometimes I might hear something from someone but then I will check with someone else to see what they

When reading fantastic novels, you learn a lot about the main characters and their traits. In the amazing novel, True North, by Kathryn Lasky, the main characters, Lucy Bradford and Afrika, go on a journey to freedom, and along the way you learn a lot about both Afrika and Lucy. I am more similar to Lucy because we are both determined, independent, and
Three ways they connect are they each grew closer to someone, put their trust in them, and in the end they gained something after they persevered. Buck put his trust and grew closer to John, my mom grew closer to God and put more faith in him. They each found someone out of this, which they wanted to be with for the rest of their life. For Buck this was John Thornton, for my mom it was my dad, the one she would marry and spend the rest of her life with. They both found happiness after they persevered.
“The Veldt” by Ray Bradbury, “Good Country People” by Flannery O'Connor, and “The Lottery” by Shirley Jackson all have very strong themes that depict a darker side of human nature. All are very different in plot, but are connected through their endings. They all start with seemingly normal characters who end up doing things that would not have been predicted. In “The Veldt” it shows children revolting against their parents. “The Lottery” shows a whole community turning against one person.
In his essay, “Falling Down Is Part of Growing up”, Henry Petroski explains how all humans experience failure throughout their lives. The author compares nursery rhymes with the evolution of the human body and how they evolve as they grow older. He also describes how kids don’t realize the purpose or the meaning of things, but as they grow older, they realize the purpose of things and life in general. He also explains how failure is part of life and the inspiration of great innovations. Henry emphases how past failures in life are the reason for future success.
Reading The Shack affected me both spiritually and morally. It was challenging to read some of the ideas this book had, spiritually. Although, I related it to many different events that I have faced in my own life. I have related Mack to my own father and his strength towards our family. Also, I have related it to losing my grandfather, who played a huge role in my life growing up.
It reveals how people commit cruel acts out of selfish intentions. In this situation, the girls claim to “come to Heaven’s side” by pointing fingers at others for witchcraft, although they were only doing so to get themselves out of their own trouble. These acts of cruelty reflect upon the evil motives of the perpetrators that become more common after it is done once, as seen through the continuous trials and suspicions, which acts as one of the most major conflicts in the play. Without these cruel accusations, there would be neither plot nor ending. With this same situation, it can be concluded that accusations become more frequent during an interval of time when there are more people accusing.
(145). In many ways the witch is similar to the children’s mother in terms of her greediness and want to benefit herself. The mother deserts the children so she can no longer starve, and in doing this shows no grief, while the witch plans to eat the children and in preparing for this also fails to show angst. Temptation, in all three stories has a negative connotation attached to
The narrator points out that he hated being wrong, but still tries to reach out to his sister. When Lucy does not answer, he unfairly imagines her “sulking somewhere” One his way back, he meets Lucy and he only tells her that he had been looking for her instead of apologizing. He does not genuinely ask for forgiveness. When Lucy tells Edmund that the White Witch is evil and untrustworthy, he disregards her opinion and convinces himself that she is
With the temperament of the characters and the diction with which the author composed, the tale was able to draw the reader back to the 17th century, where the original history transpired. The pandemonium that occurred almost seems too absurd to be true; cries of witchcraft and claims of witnessing others conspire with the devil are anomalies that you would find only in a modern day horror film. To imagine living in an era in which these oddities are considered ordinary is nearly unbelievable, therefore making it difficult to fathom that these events ensued long
As she plots to kill the King she says something similar to Macbeth: Come, thick night, And pall thee in the dunnest smoke of hell, That my keen knife see not the wound it makes, Nor heaven peep through the blanket of the dark, To cry 'Hold, hold!'(I.V) The message is similar that they are going to the King under the cover of night, so that no one may see what is happening. Compared to Macbeth it isn’t as dark or as sinister as Macbeth. The use of the language “hell”(I.V) and “knife”(I.V) paint a grim picture but it is not as dark as Macbeth’s dark tone.
Discuss the imaginative response to the figure of Elizabeth I in The Faerie Queene Book III. What was possibly the most challenging disruption to the patriarchal society in sixteen century England was the presence of a dominant and influential queen on the throne, Elizabeth I who remained there for 45 years. Stephen Greenblatt tells us that Spenser glorified power, especially imperialistic power, and the poet 's life and career in Ireland and his myriad of attempts to achieve status and fame proposes to us that he had a absolute concern in flattering both the queen and her court, and many reasons to “present the party line in his epic romance”.(Villeponteaux) In this essay I would like to discuss the way female power is portrayed by the
What do you know about the audience based on the information provided in the speech? Based on the information provided in this speech, I know that the audience is her army of soldiers fighting. Queen Elizabeth I is providing her soldiers with confidence and motivation. She is trying to make them succeed and become better men. How does Queen Elizabeth I use the audience’s faith and belief in God as a way to convince them to believe and agree with her? Why is it a good idea for her to remind them of her divine right to rule before sending them into battle?
The Evil Queen This is my story. Everyone just assumes that I tried to kill Snow White because of envy and jealous well I was both of there but the not why I tried to kill her. I never really wanted to hurt anyone, that was never my intention until she made it so difficult
The dark, dense, and mysterious forest scenery creates a dreamlike setting for the nights events and characters. The fairies interactions with one another and interference with the Athenians also adds to this fairy-tale dream. The townsmen and the young lovers affected by the spell and potions believe the night’s events are too strange to be true. Surely a lowly Athenian could not have been doted on by a fairy queen while bearing a donkey head. Besides, a dream seems the only possible explanation for Lysander to not love Hermia and for Demetrius to not love Helena.
