Wool Pool Scene Analysis

220 Words1 Page

The scene I chose to depict was when Kenny watson was being dragged down by a whirlpool (in the story the call it a “Wool Pool because that is how their grandmothers accent made it sound and Byron made up a story about it being Winnie the poohs evil twin brother), and Byron pulled him out and saved his life. I believe that this is the most important scene in the book because of what happens in it and how it affects Kenny and Byron in the rest of the book. One way it affects Kenny is in the way he now views traumatic, scary and possibly life threatening events by seeing what is coming as an inhuman, unnatural, and bloodcurdling and he sees it as the face of death. One way this event affects Byron is that he now visibly cares much more for Kenny

    The audience at this scene will worry about the safety of The little fellow, will he fall or be rescued in the nick of time before the cabin tips over the edge. The mixed emotions of fear and anxiety were what I felt watching this scene, and couldn't help cheering when The little fellow was saved at the last possible minute before the cabin fell over the edge. Another element of melodrama is raw emotion, the terrible suffering of the protagonist that provokes an emotional response from the audience. An example of this from The Gold Rush is a scene where The little fellow and Big Jim are in the cabin caught up in a snowstorm, they have no food and are hungry. To survive, they eat The little fellow’s shoe, but Big Jim is tired of starving, begins to hallucinate and think The little fellow is a big chicken that he wants to eat.

    One example is when they bring the Veldt Room to life by all of the mechanics that show the sound, smell, and even temperature. “The hot straw smell of lion grass, the cool green smell of the hidden water hole, the great rusty smell of animals, the smell of dust like a red paprika in the hot air. And now the sounds: the thump of distant antelope feet on grassy sod, the papery rustling of vultures.” This shows how realistic everything is and that you don’t have to leave your house to get an experience of an African Dessert, The way Bradbury appeals to all of the senses to give the reader the experience as if there standing next to George in the African desert, he gives something that is till and a place, a life and makes it seem so much more alive than it is. Bradbury uses the phrase “the papery rustling of vultures.”
