Equality: to be identical in value. In the short story “Harrison Bergeron” by Kurt Vonnegut Jr. it’s 2081 and we have achieved true equality by putting handicaps on people who are “better”, until a young boy named Harrison rebels, dubs himself Emperor and he and his Empresses dance in freedom. During the dance of equilibrium, Vonnegut uses figurative language, sensory imagery, and diction to reveal the warm and vivacious mood.

Mood is referred to as the atmosphere of a literary piece, as it creates an emotional setting that surrounds the reader's. Craig Silvey uses several types of language in his novel, Jasper Jones to achieve an effect in the readers mind. The mood is moulded and changed to shape the audience response to the ideas and perspective he is trying to reveal. The construction of mood can be from several different techniques: description, author’s attitude, character’s thoughts and/or feels, syntax, etc. A mood that is often repeated in Japer Jones is suspense and intrigue. The narrative is based around the idea that Charlie and Jasper at any moment could be caught by the authorities because they know where Laura Wishart’s body is. This mood brings the

The way diction is crafted in a novel establishes the atmosphere and the mood of a setting for the reader to interpret.

It all started with “Jasper Jones came to my window”(Silvey 1). “This is the first time I’ve ever dared to sneak away from home. The thrills of this, coupled with the fact that Jasper Jones needs my help, already fills the moment with something portentous.” (Silvey 2).

For centuries, horseshoes have been associated with luck when they are upright. However when horseshoes are bent over that is associated with luck running out. In the story, the fifth grade protagonist, Jared, is wandering in the woods and stumbles upon an airplane that crashed a week before. When Jared walks in, he sees the dead woman, bent over like a horseshoe, which represents her luck running out. Considering

In “Harrison Bergeron” by Kurt Vonnegut Jr. , figurative language and negative themes both left the reader feeling terrified of what the future may hold. Vonnegut uses alliteration to describe how the government sees the people and how it’s run: “Harrison’s appearance was Halloween and Hardware. Nobody has ever born heavier handicaps” (24). This creates the mood of how uncomfortable Harrison must be barring those handicaps and how the government sees him as a threat. As in how he needs all those handicaps to be ‘normal’ for the government to feel somewhat comfortable. Vonnegut also uses imagery to have you imagine how painful the handicaps can be. On page 21, Vonnegut writes, “Every twenty seconds or so, the transmitter would send out some sort of

Award winning book Jeremy; is a delightfully enchanting story about the survival of a baby kookaburra, whom is cared for after falling from his nest.

For example, “Artistic drapery of the past century has becoming must” this figurative language evokes a response from the reader or makes the reader think about an idea he is trying to bring over.
