    Yes, I agree that figurative language improves the understanding of the novel in Woods Runner. I reached that conclusion because the picture the words paint gives you an idea of what is happening throughout the novel. Firstly, an example of this is found in chapter 4 on page 27 where it says “Samuel smelled it before he saw anything. Not just the smoke from the fires. But the thick, heavy smell. Blood. Death.” and this adds to the way the reader would paint a picture of the story in his head. Next, another example is where it says “He had seen no fresh sign until he came halfway up the fifth ridge, a thickly forested round hump shaped like the back of a giant animal.”(Paulsen, 19) giving…

    Both images show restroom signs that are discriminatory or prejudice against another race or being. In District 9, there is evidence of discrimination against the aliens or ‘prawns’. This refers back to the Apartheid Era, where White Supremacy ruled over the nation of South Africa and caused an unfair racial divide. The ‘white people’ were more privileged than the other races and were forbidden to integrate with said races. The above images assist in showing the similar social issues present in the film as well as during the Apartheid Era.…

    Many people wish they could escape from the chaos of life. Often time people do not take time out to reflect on different aspects of their lives and this causes them to lose touch with themselves. Escape is necessary for individuals to step away from tedious detail of eye, in other words get in touch with their lives. Birkerts’ essay “The Owl Has Flown” asserts that escape is needed to reflect on priorities, values, and who or what is meaningful to individuals. On the other hand, Willis’ essay “Disney World: Public Use/Private State” suggests that America’s most popular amusement park, Disney World, is not an escape. Although Birkerts and Willis agree that an escape is needed, they define the meaning of escape differently.…

    Who knew that a square of paper, a wooden frame, and a strand of twine could have so much meaning hidden beneath the surface? In the book The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini, among many layers of plot twists and character development, symbolism is an integral part of the storyline. Particularly, the symbol of the kite was one that remained prominent throughout the entire plot. The kite could be interpreted as a representation of freedom, among other ideas.

    These were very primitive, ineffective, and inaccurate. In 1915, Roland Garros, a French allied pilot, attached a machine gun to the front of his plane. This was unheard of because he needed to fire through the propeller. Many thought this was suicidal but Garros had put steel plates on the rear of the propeller blades to deflect any bullets. The unsuspecting Germans failed to evade the oncoming Garros and consequently within sixteen days he had taken down five German planes and became the first allied flying ace.…

    The first example of figurative language is, "I wanna stay in the sun where I find, I know it's hard sometimes," and this is an example of a metaphor; the sun represents comfort, and it means that it's hard to avoid happiness and comfort in life. Another example of figurative language is, We have a list of people we would take, a bullet for them, a bullet for you, a bullet for everybody in this room," and the type of figurative language is a hyperbole; we wouldn't actually take a bullet for someone, but we would sacrifice ourselves to help others. Finally, the last example of figurative language that was used in this song was the chorus, "Oh, oh, I'm falling, so I'm taking my time on my ride," and this is a metaphor. The literal meaning of this is, as mentioned before, our ride is a metaphor for our life, and "taking my time on my ride" means living every moment of life to the…

The poem is comparing the trapped feeling of broken-winged bird to the feeling of the dullness of not holding onto your dreams.…
