Figurative Language And Imagery In 'War Of The Worlds'

The author was very heavy in the Pathos category. He invested strongly in using stories and vivid language to get their point across to the readers. For example, in paragraph 4 the author talked about living north of New York City. Talking about how most of the vehicles people would see on the road would be an SUV or a light truck. They went on saying

“Nanny’s head and face looked like the standing roots of some old tree that had been torn away by storm” (Hurston pg 12). In the novel Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neale Hurston, Janie mostly uses similes to emphasize on different aspects in her life. The use of similes helps the reader picture an image of a character or idea. The most important factor that an author should include in their work is the use of descriptive words. When Janie, the main character, describes her Nanny we use the simile that she provides to help paint a picture in our head.

If any author has the ability to do such amazing feat so quickly, there is no doubt that he is able to use other literary devices to keep his readers pulled in. It is not every day that an author is able to apply so many different examples to show one simple literary device. Ken Kesey has been able to show that the challenge of including imagery into a novel is much more straightforward than

of the themes in the novel easier to see and decipher. Using the archetypes that he did

There are lots of alliterations throughout the book along with a lot of metaphors. The book also dehumanizes its characters, comparing them to machines or animals and other objects. The figurative language is used

Author Jonathan Edwards uses metaphors in the story to strike fear and hatred in the reader's eyes and minds. Each sentence that i choose symbolizes his work and ideas to bring fear to life. Throughout the story, sinners must face a fearful judgment with an angry God. “Yea, God is a great deal more angry with great numbers that are now on earth; yea doubtless, with many that are now in this congregation, who it may be are at ease, than he is with many of those who are now in the flames in hell.” The purpose for this sentence was that god uses a group of people to spread his hatred on the earth.

As you can see, Hikaru Okuizumi uses literary elements to develop his themes. Flashbacks, foreshadowing, false assumptions, and complications are the elements I found most apparent in this book. They aren't the only elements though, he does have more, like imagery and personification through the symbols of the book. Though this book leaves us with many questions, it was a good read and I found it very interesting. Hikaru Okuizumi is a profound author, and this novel proves

Along in with the author’s use of metaphors is the frequent use of imagery. In this reading, it is simple to envision the scenes as the different scenarios are explained and the audience can easily picture Staples in the places he is describing and also the people he comes across. Perhaps the most powerful and memorable imagery is provided in the author’s description of people’s different reactions and faces when they come into contact with him. Actions speak volumes and an immediate change of facial expression is possibly one of the

There are more significant symbols in the novel such as The Boy. The Man and Boy fight to survive many hardships, but through the darkness there is light, The Boy. He is very mature and cares for every stray person they pass. One person he cares for is a man named Ely, an old man with nothing but the clothes on his back, until he meets The Boy and his father." 'You should thank him you know, I wouldn’t have given you anything' "(McCarthy 173). The Boy wants everyone to survive and is willing to share his supplies even if it means he won`t have all the things he needs to live.

H.G. Wells demonstrates proper use of different literacy techniques throughout The War of the Worlds. The first technique that he uses is descriptive language. Throughout the story, he uses his words to describe characters or his surroundings. One example would be when he states “the turf and gravel about it seemed charred as if by a sudden explosion.” (pp. 11). This statement describes the narrator's surroundings. He also uses descriptive language when describing the Martians, by stating their physical characteristics. A specific example would include when the narrator is describing the Martian's behavior in Chapter Two of the second book. Also, Wells also uses foreshadowing as a technique. At the end of Chapter Five in Book One, the Martians

For a first novel, the prose was lovely, and the mystery and alienation came through in the story that always danced over and across a line of fantasy, leaving multiple avenues to interpret parts of the story. It was intangible as ice or snow in the sun, melting and reforming.

Through characterisation, the author is able to express the main idea of disempowerment and also allowing us as readers to feel discontented and upset towards the main character.

In Eleven & War Years, both authors evoke strong emotions of frustration and anger through the use of rhetorical questioning, figurative language, and word choice, thus emphasizing these emotions.

The most significant part of the entire text is that most of the readers will never feel the pain of author. The ability not to be able to relate and understand someone’s struggle is very impactful.
