Lunar Chronicles: A Literary Analysis

333 Words2 Pages

Winter was the last book in the Lunar Chronicles and a very good novel; I really liked the overall story and series. In the beginning I was skeptic of starting “Cinder”, the first book, because I was weary that the fairy-tale nature of these books would be too cliché. However, I was pleasantly surprised, Winter kept my attention and had a more complex story line than I had expected. It was a mixture of fantasy and sci-fi, with just a hint of romance. Although the story itself is unrealistic, it didn’t seem out of the ordinary and fit well with the world the story took place. Winter is classified as a young adult novel, aging 12 and up. For myself, it wasn’t difficult to finish, but the book did switch point of view often and is over 800 pages.

  • Summary Of The Myth Of Other Suns By Isabel Wilkerson

    In Part Three of The Warmth of Other Suns, Isabel Wilkerson uses the poem Exodus from The Cleveland Advocate and an excerpt from Richard Wright's 12 Million Black Voices to set the tone and context for the harrowing experiences of African Americans during the Great Migration. These words are appropriate because they depict the desperation and determination of African Americans seeking to escape the oppressive conditions of the South. For example, the excerpt from 12 Million Black Voices states, "They packed their belongings in orange crates, said their goodbyes, and went off to cities...," highlighting the resolve of those who embarked on this journey. The manner in which Ida Mae Gladney and George Starling leave the South underscores the

  • Ethnocentrism In The Martian Chronicles By Ray Bradbury

    875 Words  | 4 Pages

    The Dangers of Ethnocentrism “The Martian Chronicles” by Ray Bradbury is a collection of short stories in chronological order of the human colonization of Mars. Bradbury composed this book over the length of several years, from the late 40s to the early 50s. This period coincides with the Cold War, a time when Americans felt superior to other countries, most notably the Soviet Union, because of their vast technological advancements. This air of superiority led to an arms race, ethnocentric propaganda, and eventually, national hysteria. One of Bradbury’s main criticisms in “The Martian Chronicles” is the ethnocentrism prevalent in his country during this time period.

    Rhetoric writing, the art of persuasion, is a profound form that Greek philosopher, Aristotle, created. He created the three appeals, ethos, logos, and pathos which influence the tone, purpose, and context of the writing piece. The four pieces of writing, that I drew connections between, are all written differently but possess the same effective way of communicating with honesty and share the subtle goal of manipulation. The first piece of writing is called Man Takes First Steps on the Moon which is written as an article in a special edition of The Times.
