Fahrenheit 451 Mood Analysis

There is a big difference between reading Dr.Seuss books and reading the Odyssey. Although some may argue they 're more similar than you may think. Authors slide in subtle writing techniques and themes to portray the moral or message they are trying to convey. No matter the level of writing or the type of story line similarities can always be found. This semester we have looked at many pieces of writing, including “Okay”, “Letter from Birmingham Jail”, Antigone Now, “Civil Disobedience”, and “The Ones Who Walk Away”.

Why do writers use literary tools to create meaning? Authors can use almost any literary device to add to a story's depth.If literary tools was not used, an author's story would not be complete. Some stories might use only one tool, and some might use several. A story must use tools to intrigue the story's audience. Ray Bradbury's stories are filled with foreshadowing, imagery, characterization, and other tools to make his stories catch his audience's attention.

When reading his poems and just picking out the symbolism you really get a clear sense on how everything is working in the story. The endings of his works are always a surprise and can have very different meanings to different people depending on how they interpreted it. An example where Poe uses symbolism is in his short story The Masque of The Red Death the first symbol gather from this story is the character himself, Prince Prospero. From Poe saying Prince you

With a plethora of books on varying subject matters, the world of literature is almost endless. Quality books and authors often camouflage further meaning behind a character, theme or symbol providing a treasure for readers willing to search. Ray Bradbury includes a hidden treasure in his novel Fahrenheit 451 by contrasting two of his main characters. The overall message of the story describes a futuristic society with many technological advancements, and the prohibition of books, where Ray Bradbury shows how devastating a society is with mindless technology and lack of quality literature and interactions. However, by exploring the juxtaposition between the characters Mildred and Clarisse, a further meaning can be found through their differing

American modern short stories are often written by passionate narrators who often included their own opinions into the point of view, it is believed that Hawthorne did just that. Others argue that there were in fact two different voices being interpreted. The tone can be described as dark and sinister leaving the reader to foreshadow that ending will not end

O’Brien had used many literary devices in his book, especially rhetorical devices which are important for how and what he writes, but, the meaning of them is the most important. Even each line in the quote has a different meaning. “Stories are for joining the past to the future.” In my opinion, O’Brien means that by telling, reading, or hearing stories can make someone connect their past

Something I’ve learned during this poetry unit is that poems can be anything and everything, but every poetic device, line break, and word is chosen for a specific purpose. “Here Yet Be Dragons” certainly demonstrates this idea. When I first read this poem, I was very confused, especially by the first sentence because it makes no sense in today’s world. so many languages have fallen off of the edge of the world into the dragon’s mouth. (Clifton, pg 132) However, this is purposeful.

The use of figurative language by authors elevates their works, especially those of fiction, into an entirely different realm in which the reader becomes immersed in both the imagery and descriptions of the text. Of course, there are many ways in which writers can use figurative language such as similes, metaphors, and hyperboles to create an image for the reader or emphasize a point they are trying to make. Authors are also able to utilize figurative language beyond decorating their writing but to also add character development, communicate information about the text, and amplify suspense. To further illustrate the importance and the roles of figurative languages the following short stories including Edgar Allen Poe’s “Cask of Amontillado”,

Literary Analysis Collection 1 In “Harrison Bergeron” by Kurt Vonnegut, “Liberty” by Julia Alvarez and “The Dangerous Game” by Richard Connell, each author uses similar literary elements in different ways to develop their story. The three authors use Conflict, Setting and Character to develop a theme. The authors use Man vs. Man conflicts in the three stories. With these conflicts, the author tells us the antagonist opinion which is always against the protagonist. In “The Dangerous Game” The antagonist-Zaroff, tells us,” I refuse to believe………Harbors romantic ideas about human life.” That disagreement between the two characters sparked conflict in the story.

There is a common consensus among them that a meaningful world can always be projected not through a process of mythos-making but rather through the operation of various versions of the same story in a certain text or the interaction of the text itself with other texts within it. Intertextuality has particularly permeated the theoretical framework of literary journalism. Julia Kristeva, Mikhail Bakhtin and Roland Barthes are among the major critics who seek to give a thorough definition of the term, “intertextuality.” According to Kristeva, “Any text is constructed as a mosaic of quotations; any text is the absorption and transformation of another. The notion of intertextuality replaces that of inter-subjectivity, and poetic language is read as at least double” (66, Original italics). It is obvious that this definition aptly recapitulates the main characteristics of intertextuality.
