Comparing The Red Room by H.G. Wells and The Darkness Out There by Penelope Lively

The Dark Game and The Code Book both have similarities in espionage that differ in the way the story is told, how its explained ,and the ideas used. The Dark Game has a way of telling the story in a narrative point of view. Its Lively when it describes the points in the story so it seems more fun to read for readers. The Dark Game also uses chronological order in the story to get the story going and the reader more invested.

For instance, the panes were scarlet, a deep blood colour. The "bloody" red room thus becomes a place of ending not only due to the westward location, but also because of its color. Poe describes the last, black room as the dreadful endpoint, the room the guests fear just as they fear death. The room is feared by the guests because it reminds them of death, which is why no one enters the room. The room is involved in all of the main scenes throughout the course ofthe story. For example, this is the room Prince Prospero and his guests die from the Red Death and also where the clock is located. The reader sees how important the rooms are throughout the story and its main contribution to the theme.

Every author has their own way of making the elements of fiction work the best in the best interest of their narrative. One of the most important elements of fiction is the character. The character brings the story to life and gives one narrative something another narrative may not have, even if the stories are the same. The character in Elizabeth Tallent’s "No One's a Mystery" in contrast to the character in Kate Chopin's "The Story of an Hour" has a different outlook on the future even though both women are in a similar situation. The narratives are about young women in love and in relationships. However, one woman is content in staying in her unstable relationship, while the other is dying to escape her unhappy relationship. Their objectives are completely different as far as their futures are concerned, but both women seem to share the uncertainty of the current situation they find themselves in.

Color can also determine perception and time; as in The Skeleton Key with the light, moss and old trees; the colors of light, neutral and earth tones are considered the good powers. On the other hand when we think of evil, blood or violence we think of the color red. When someone gets hurts and there’s blood, immediately it triggers a warning signal to another person; danger, somethings happened. When we see a lot of blood we know it’s a dangerous situation and it means possible death. To some it’s Dracula, sacrifice, devil, and fire. Everyone has a right to believe how they want. In The Skeleton Key we see throughout the movie the color red; how red lines of red brick dust are placed in various locations. Caroline uses the brick dust to try to keep Violet, evil out. Surprisingly, flabbergasted by the results, Caroline realizes the truth about Violet when she will not enter the room. Although Hoodoo is a religion, it’s not real unless you believe it’s real; like witchcraft and voodoo. When Caroline goes in the secret room of the attic, she discovers hair, blood, bones and hoodoo ritual paraphernalia. Caroline approaches Violet and tells her what she found and told her she needs to know what happened to Ben when he was in the attic. Violet

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland written by Lewis Caroll was originally published on November 26, 1865. On the other hand, the movie version, directed by Clyde Geronimo, Wilfred Jackson, and Hamilton Luske and produced by Walt Disney, was published in 1951. Carroll's book has twelve chapters and begins by describing a girl who named Alice that falls down a hole and finds herself in wonderland. In comparison, the movie begins with a scene not included in the book in which Alice sings about “her world,” foreshadowing wonderland. In the beginning, the versions are similar. Alice follows the rabbit because she is bored with her sister who only wants to read books with pictures. When she follows the rabbit, Alice finds herself in a different world. The difference is that in the book when Alice comes to the place, she finds the rabbit and follows him until she sees many doors. In the movie, however, the door talks to her instead.

In The Autobiography of Alice B Toklas, Gertrude Stein mentions many artists and writers that she had a relationship with. From artists like Picasso and Cézanne to writers like Hemingway and E.E Cummings, Stein had a large yet interesting group of friends and even more interesting things to say about them. She speaks the fondest of the people like Picasso who she likes best and does not say much about other artists like Cézanne who she is not very fond of. E.E Cummings Book The Enormous Room is not only original and interesting like Stein states, but it can be used to better understand Steins The AutoBiography of Alice B. Toklas.

A red light was used when the cabin changed from the captains quarters to the cargo cabin. The red light creates a tension on stage as it is used to identify the source of conflict in the production. Using the colour red can be interpreted as a foreshadow of the violence that would happen in that cabin, as that is where the vampire feeds of the captain and where he rises from in a later scene. The colour red was chosen as there are connotations and associations that can be made from the colour choice as 'Most people view the colour red to represent violence, anger and perhaps war' (Wolf and Block, 2014, Pg 347). However, while using colour can generate associations it can also be argued that 'placing too much emphasis on the psychological effects of colour is a mistake' (Wolf and Block, 2014, Pg 347). Each member of the audience that watched the production may interpret the use of the colour differently, and the colour can be interpreted differently based on cultural differences 'Red may recall foreboding or violence in the West, and luck or prosperity for a Chinese audience' (Mort S, 2011. Pg

When she arrives in Elsewhere she immediately wants to go as many places as she can. She soon figures out that she has the ability to speak to canines, so she applies for the avocation in Division of Domestic Animals.
