Carmodys Journey
A famous Chinese proverbs states that "a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step."
Mr Curran, Miss Calendar, fellow students.
The word journey originates from the French word "jour" meaning 'the duration of a day.' A journey suggests the idea of a somewhat prolonged travelling for a specific object, leading a person to pass directly from one point to another. A journey can be something we undertake with a distinct goal in mind, however some journeys are so insignificant they may go unrecognised.
A journey is not just simply a distance travelled from point A to point B, but it is more an experience. Along the way, all the people one meets, all the skills one gathers and all the knowledge collected, shape and mould that person into who they become at the end. …show more content…
Ken has ventured out from the guidelines and experienced things that are neither real nor logical. He has not been limited by others beliefs and judgements, but has let his imagination run wild.
Carmody has used many techniques throughout her novel and an example of sound imagery, or more specifically alliteration, can be found when used to describe the white moths. "Large pallid eyes that gave off a sweet, suffocating smell."
The active writings of Carmody accompanied with the exquisite drawings allow this book to be enjoyed by those of all ages.
Engaging on a journey, be it in the dream world or the physical world, broadens our concepts of thinking. Journeys penetrate deep inside us and reveal what can be found within. As Jan Boddie, a writer for "the share guide magazine" once said " Journey goes beyond the restraints of physical time and space. Journey feeds the soul."
In this world there lives a sorceress and her "hungers." The hungers are vampire like creatures that have been born from the sorceress' greed and they are given shape, and become real, due to her dreams. The "hungers" visit those who sleep and feed upon
