Millicent's Passage Analysis

49 Words1 Page

I found this passage unique because the author intensely defined Millicent after she was chosen to participate in the initiation. The author described her physically and mentally and described how the teachers felt truthfully. It gives the reader detailed descriptions of the protagonist and foreshadows the events to come.

  • Dialectical Journal For The Secret Life Of Bees By George Orwell

    Of the many quotes I found, the first one, was on the very first page, “The bees came in the summer of 1964, the summer I turned fourteen and my life went spinning off into a whole new orbit, and I mean whole new orbit. Looking back on it now, I want to say the bees were sent to me.” From my point of view, this quote fits the novel well because of its contribution to the developing plot line. As the book opened, the author already added suspense. The quote is important to not only the plot line, but the overall novel.

  • The Underlying Theme Of Lawlessness In Blood Meridian

    171 Words  | 1 Pages

    In consideration of the episodic and violent temperament of Blood Meridian, the conclusion of the novel contrasts with the underlying theme of lawlessness and the end of the American Frontier. Furthermore, the epilogue depicts an anonymous digger forging what hints at the possible foundation of a railing or barricade, as wanderers follow aimlessly. Consequently, creating an augmented sense of order that diverges against The Judge’s will of war and chaos, possibly alluding to The Kid’s dream of a forger, in which there will come a time where economic trades will take conquest over the wage of war (Ch. 15?). The novel itself is historically depicted during a time of uncertainty and chaos, erratic alliances and religious notions, and the penetration
