But what was amazing what his form of playing with diction too that surprised me the most asides the tricks he played with imagery. Without imagery, a book would pretty much have no meaning and would lose the sense of reading it till the very end.

  • Pennington's Essay 'From Elfland To Hogwarts'

    1805 Words  | 8 Pages

    Notably, Pennington quotes, from chapter 39 of "The Goblet of Fire", the battle between Harry and Voldemort where "the two enemies are described as "hissing" (e.g. 644, 646)" (Pennington 86), thus exposing not only how J.K. Rowling tends to use the same verbs, but also the lack of distinctiveness between two characters that should be completely different. However, as Pennington states, "The Goblet of Fire […] [has] 734 pages" (86) and, in his essay, he only substantiates his assertions with examples from six different pages - "for Snape also hisses (e.g. Goblet 470, 472, 516), as does Ron (e.g. 513)" (86) - which, statistically, accounts for a negligible 0.68% use of the verb "to hiss" in Rowling's book. Furthermore, to illustrate Rowling's descriptive style, Pennington proposes a comparison between two extensive descriptions, one from Harry Potter and one from LeGuin's "Wizards of Earthsea". His argument is that the citations, which are 122 and 119 words respectively, are the reflection of an increment in length in Rowling books which accounts for her books' increasingly sloppier language and insignificant depictions.

    Barbara Kingsolver does a wonderful job with incorporating literary devices into her novel. These literary devices help the reader to experience the words written on the page and it allows the reader to think that they are actually living the story. One major literary device that Kingsolver uses throughout the book to show her ideas to the reader is imagery. “Her dark hair is tied in a ragged lace handkerchief, and her curved jawbone is lit with large, false-pearl earrings, as if these headlamps from another world might show the way.” (pg 5) When I hear these words, I am able to paint a picture inside of my head of Orleana Price.

    As anyone that has sat around a camp fire can attest, there is something hypnotic about the flickering of flames. Little Inferno is a game that taps into that pyromaniac vein in all of use by providing a virtual fireplace and catalogues filled with stuff to burn. There are no monsters to defeat, bad guys to shoot or high scores to chase. There aren't even any time limits and failure is pretty much impossible so it is not surprising that the game was met with confusion upon its first release.
