Cassie hates herself for that and I think that is causing the voice so she can suffer like her mother had.
Colors
In the book Whisper To Me Cassie is not social and secludes herself so she doesn’t know how to express herself.Cassie uses different colors to describe people and something that they stand for.To Cassie emotions are associated with colors.I think that Nick Lake used the common conception that moods are associated with colors to represent Cassie as something that changes moods with each person and to represent each person as a assigned color that shows how she feels with them. This is actually a common technique found in books.It is impossible to show how each person who reads the book acts when feeling a certain emotion so instead the author will describe a color or other sense and make the reader think that there is a certain way that the character is feeling.But really what is happening is you are looking at the color as the way that you would act when the color represents a emotion and therefore understand how Cassie or other characters feel in the situation without it being described to

    Revision Of Paragraph Sek Lung

    In the short story “The Jade Peony” by Wayson Choy, the author uses colours to create symbolic meanings in the story to express the feelings and emotions from the characters. For example, Sek-Lung said that his Grandmama kept her “jade pendant in a tiny red silk envelope…” (2). This means that the jade peony is something she loves, or was given to her by someone she loves, because red means love and marriage in the Eastern culture. This is important because the jade is the only reminiscence from the juggler she loves; therefore it shows the importance of the peony to Grandmama. Additionally, upon grandmama’s death, she gave the peony to Sek-Lung which means that Sek-Lung is truly important to her as well. In addition, as Sek-Lung’s Grandmother’s sickness grew worse, she “sipped a bluish decoction of an herb called Peacock’s Tail.”(1). This shows that Grandmama is not afraid of death since blue means calm and peaceful. This quote is important because it illustrates how Sek-Lung’s grandmother feels towards dying and how she can still remain calm and peaceful. One evening, Sek-Lung’s Grandmama saw a “long, lean, white cat” (7), Grandmama said the cat “was all white and had pink eyes like sacred fire” (8). This indicates that Grandmama is going to pass away because white means death in the Eastern culture. The cat also represents the juggler Grandmama loves that had possibly died in the famine long time ago; the family believes the cat was the juggler since the juggler as described by grandma also has pale white skin and pink eyes. As a result, the author uses a lot of colors to signify the feelings and emotions of the characters in the story. The author stated that Grandmother kept her peony in a red envelope meaning love and marriage which shows how she still remember the juggler she loves from long time ago and the importance of her grandson(since she gave the peony to Sek-Lung after her death). The bluish herb grandmama drank when her sickness…

    Ntozake Shange's For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide

    In the Ntozake Shange’s For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow is Enuf there are different ladies with different colors. Every lady and every color is very significant to this book. This text by Shange is full of symbols; each lady can be described differently. I believe each lady can be identified with a more specific description or feeling throughout the different poems that can be related to their color for example: passion for red, sadness for blue, fun for orange and so on.…

    The Maze Runner

    He began his new life standing up, surrounded by cold darkness and stale, dusty air. Metal ground against metal; a lurching shudder shook the floor beneath him. He fell down at the sudden movement and shuffled backward on his hands and feet, drops of sweat beading on his forehead despite the cool air. His back struck a hard metal wall; he slid along it until he hit the corner of the room. Sinking to the floor, he pulled his legs up tight against his body, hoping his eyes would soon adjust to the darkness. With another jolt, the room jerked upward like an old lift in a mine shaft. Harsh sounds of chains and pulleys, like the workings of an ancient steel factory, echoed through the room, bouncing off the walls with a hollow, tinny whine. The lightless elevator swayed back and forth as it ascended, turning the boy’s stomach sour with nausea; a smell like burnt oil invaded his senses, making him feel worse. He wanted to cry, but no tears came; he could only sit there, alone, waiting. My name is Thomas, he thought. That … that was the only thing he could remember about his life. He didn’t understand how this could be possible. His mind functioned without flaw, trying to calculate his surroundings and predicament. Knowledge flooded his thoughts, facts and images, memories and details of the world and how it works. He pictured snow on trees, running down a leaf-strewn road, eating a hamburger, the moon casting a pale glow on a grassy meadow, swimming in a lake, a busy city square with hundreds of people bustling about their business.…
