\The children’s book “Terrible Things” is an allegory of the Holocaust as written by Eve

When people look at two extremely different stories such as Night and Life is Beautiful, they would not expect there to be many similarities. However, these two devastating tales are more alike than suspected. Both Night and Life is Beautiful may be two accounts of the holocaust, but that does not mean that they bring the same thing to the table. They both may include a somewhat similar father-son relationship, yet they still aren’t that same. Night, a tragic memoir of Eliezer Wiesel, and Life is Beautiful, a humorous and still somewhat depressing movie of Guido and his family, have numerous similarities as well as drastic differences between them.

Initially, Marco was going to die so that Celia would win the challenge, but at the last moment Celia rushes to save him. This results in their spirits becoming released from their bodies. In order for them not to die, Celia must anchor their spirits to something. In a suspenseful series of events, Celia “picks a location to focus on…and slowly, agonizingly slowly…pulls herself safely together. Until she is standing in her own tent, in the center of a circle of empty chairs”(Morgenstern 465). This act allowed for them to defy death and live on as spirits of the circus. Consequentially, the bonfire that gave life to the circus went out, forcing Bailey to play his newly discovered role and relight

[He thought:] “How beautiful and how stunning, what a delightful creature is this attractive woman! Blessed the man who could grow old with her!” Afterwards he was suffused by chills and then by a rush of heat. Love put him into check and transformed him into a child.” (Pg. 14-15, Par 5)

Through engaging with classic literature we are able to broaden our understanding of humanity and society. Classic texts innately reveal through a variety of different contexts the idiosyncrasies of human behaviour of which each individual can relate to. In George Orwell’s allegorical fable Animal Farm, George Orwell uses the themes rule and order to emphasise the selfish nature of humanity. Similarly in The Power of One, Bryce Courtenay uses the theme of isolation to reiterate the harsh reality of society. Even though Peekay finds some good friends along his journey, they are few and far between. The final theme, which is portrayed in Animal Farm and The power of one, is religion, which brings out the understanding of modern religious beliefs through human condition. In Animal Farm this could be presented through Moses being a manipulative

I didn’t always look like this: a furry creature, with snaggle teeth and long, sharp claws. I used to be a boy, a small one. I had short, straight brown hair, and big brown eyes. I was quite short, compared to the other boys in my village, and I was rather skinny too. My mother told me to stop comparing myself to them. “You are handsome the way you are,” she would say. My mother loved me. She cared for me with all her might. Even after I was cursed to look like a beast.

The Faerie Queen by Edmund Spencer uses erotic and mystifying dreams to provide insight into the representation of gender relations; it is through women that the emotional state of desire as well as terror is experienced. Throughout the epic women dominate the visions experienced by the knights which sometimes makes the dreams more complex and difficult to interpret. Interestingly, the male counterparts within the context of the epic explore controversial implications of their virtues as men, because of how they conceptualize women within their dreams.

The novel incorporates some positive moral lessons such as not letting obstacles get in the way of achieving one’s dreams, being kind among others. What follows is an exposition of the life of the lead protagonist in Mr. Galliano’s Circus as he helps capture a thief, rescues an escape an escaped chimpanzee, trains his circus dog and learns the inner working s of a circus. The smooth adventure and fun in this novel shows why the series is one of Enid Blyton’s most popular and critically acclaimed works.

Many literary devices were used through out the story, but the use of personification was a highlight of them all. Personification was used extensively in the story by the author, nevertheless, the entire story was built on personification which are the human like animals. The animals in this story were given the ability to communicate, think, and the ability to learn, this was demonstrated by the actions of the pigs, “the pigs sent for buckets and milked the cows fairly successfully, their trotters being well adapted to this task”. As a result of presenting those human trads and, readers would be slowly convinced that animals are just like humans, and this story could seem more realistic but a fantasy. This is one effect authors want to achieve for it convinced readers that animals symbolise humans therefor their actions were supposed to reflect human society. Moreover, animals had

"Hey...you still up, Kora?" I heard the whisper of his beautiful, deep, manly voice in a hushed whisper. I turned over, to turn in the direction of his sinfully lovely voice. And my, oh my...he looked better tonight than ever. His blue eyes seemed to pale a ghostly sheen in the moonlight. His dark, wavy hair shined and framed his face. Thick eyebrows led to a perfect nose, which was flawlessly straight and ended with a soft, curvy tip; wonderfully aquiline. His chin was slightly cleft, his jawline lightly dusted with dark stubble.

“His hair had turned gray, his mustache nearly white, but his eyes were as blue as ever, bluer at this instant by proximity to the sea.” (1)

The woman’s face was full indifference as if she could not be bothered by measly things. Her skin appeared dazzling under the dimly lit tent, the cold face of hers reminded the old woman of the fairies sculpted and showcased in theme parks. Now that she studied her client’s face, it was breathtakingly beautiful. Sadly the old lady knows beauty is but a paltry desire.

Celia meant a lot to the main character and he deeply admired her: “Celia was my companion; our elbows at the table never touched. I marvelled that with only three years of schooling she could draw so well. She was a natural. “(S. 2 l. 55) He has no other friends but Celia during his visit. Their relationship is not sexual and they have no body

He walked behind my stand, and gazed towards the sun, which was quickly dissipating beneath the endless tangerine waves. He still looked more feminine than any other man I knew, a few women too. Not that I was envious, but it was still an aspect about him I found inexplicably irritating. Among every other trait he possessed.
