    1293 Words  | 3 Pages

    What makes life full of surprises and excitements is the fact that it is unpredictable. Nothing stays the same forever, and everything is destined to change. Whether the changes are positive or not depends on how much one is willing to unconditionally accept and adjust to them. The protagonists Alice and Barry, from “Mirror Image” written by Lena Coakley and “Saturday Climbing” by W.D. Valgardson respectively, are dealing with different forms of changes in their lives, but are both learning to accept and embrace them. Both of them start off with strong resistance against the changes introduced to their lives, constantly fighting against them and clinging on to the past. However, through many events, their perspectives start to shift, and they begin to realize the fact that they need to cultivate the ability to accept the changes. Finally, both Alice and Barry are able to move on from their past beliefs as they learn to fully embrace the changes life brings. Thus, one has to be accepting towards changes that occur in one’s life in order to move on from past beliefs.

Some might argue that similes are used more than metaphors, and while both are used, metaphors are shown more consistently in the story. The author also uses metaphors when the sun comes out and the kids are playing to describe the jungle that they played in. Metaphors are used in many places to explain the jealousy that is shown toward Margot.

  • Jealousy In All Summer In A Day By Ray Bradbury

    408 Words  | 1 Pages

Seemingly, Margot is a normal girl. But having had the luxury to bask in the sun anytime she pleased for the first four years of her life, she’s anything but normal.

  • Cause for Hope

    ... in Christ. It took a time of absolute despair and hopelessness to find my cause for hope. I find that all life’s struggles and despair create a cause for hope, and call for the Supreme remedy: Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior.In Looking for Alaska, the main character continuously struggled with his cause for hope. After losing a good friend, he searched for the “why” in life, the cause of it all, and the reason to hope. Sadly, he lacked one key element: faith. The question that was never answered for him was what rang in my ears that one late night. “What is your cause for hope?” Through my faith in Christ, I hope to find a different outcome for myself. My cause for hope comes from God. It comes from his wonderful, never-ending, and never-failing grace. It comes from His mercy. It comes through the sacrifice of His son. My cause for hope is and always will be God.
