Wrinkle in Time is an exciting adventure of supernatural proportions. The amount of excitement being proved by the quote, " Wild nights are my glory," said by one of the extraordinary figures that help the heroes and heroine throughout their ordeals. Madeleine L'Engle, the author, writes in such a way that when read, the readers feel like they are actually in the story. Various emotions and thoughts will be felt and thunk throughout the book, from imagining L'Engle's fantastic creatures to loathing the dark antagonistic figures that dwell throughout space. Making captivation of this tale an inevitable event, due to the author's imagery, the mood she sets up for each event, and the fondness developing with each character, as if the character was actually known personally.Madeleine uses a vast amount of imagery throughout the entire novel. Imagery so vivid that in one's mind it feels like the dialogue is spoken by one's self instead of by the progatonist. The quantity of detail used is so great that it would be known even if an insignificant shrub was rooted somewhere in the environment of where the characters may be in. For example, in every location that the story's personalities are in, an almost exact view of the landscape, any beings that may exist there, and the name by which the environment they inhabit in that time is called, would be known. The imagery is somewhat used in correspondence with any foreshadowing that takes place, because some objects described that do not seem to be important may later be of some significance. L'Engle, in every situation always configures a type of mood to prompt the reader for what's next to come. From the beautiful fragrance to forewarn one of a happy duration of reading to a rythmic beating to drive someone crazy, the author knows what kinds of sounds, smells, and sights to acknowledge the reader into a future negative or positive event. Through her imagery, dialogue, and just something unknown in her writing that seems to be implied the mood of past, current or forecoming predicaments become known to her audience. These atmospheres help ready one for any events whether it be sad, happy, or neither. By Madeleine's descriptive characterization readers would feel as if they knew what a character would say next, because it would be as if they knew the character. Such as how she describes Meg, the heroine/ protagonist of the story, as rebelious, somewhat smart, and stubborn, therefore somewhat foreshadowing how she would handle herself in certain situations. The author's characterization also helps with the imagery for comparing and contrasting things that happen later in the book, for example Calvin, a male main character, is described as very tall and lanky, that description is used in comparison when they arrive on a planet of very large creatures, so when he sits down L'Engle tells how his legs just dangle, because his feet cannot touch the ground, due to the tallness of those creatures' chairs. Madeleine L'Engle is a very descriptive and to the point writer, at least in this novel anyway. " To the point" meaning that not a whole lot of symbolism is used, so every object means what it means, making easier reading. Using her writing techniques she develops interesting and unique plots, in turn making her somewhat of a good writer. All in all, L'Engle is a good writer for lower grade reading levels, but simplistic for higher grades.
Particularly, you can analyze that this quote contains a strong voice that can be portrayed as descriptive. She uses a handful of adjectives that foreshadow the character’s personalities.
Another way the author develops his consistent style is in the way he describes certain images. For example, there are a few different occasions where his way of describing what he sees around him are similar to eachother in a way that they all make reference to the fact that the day is going by and it will soon reach dusk. Like when he said 'the soft dew of morning which had glistened and twinkled on the blades of grass which grew in clumps by the side of road quietly disappeared.'; This indicates that the day is going on. At another point in the story the author makes reference to the shadows saying that they have grown longer, which would indicate the sun was setting. Also, the author never exactly comes right out and says the obvious. He uses his descriptive ways to give you an idea of what is going on or happening. For example, he never exactly says that the man he encounters on the road is an old man. He just gives certain physical characteristics that would associate with an old man. I feel his reasoning for this was to also indicate that this man was not just old but a man of wisdom, which very often is associated with old age.
...statement: The characterization the authors use in these three novels determines how well the readers will get to know the main characters in terms of emotion.
The Most Useful Aspects of Stanisalvski's System Stanislavski was a Russian theatre practitioner who disliked the melodramatic style of acting that was popular at that time in Russia. Stanislavski embarked on a quest for truth in his art and devoted his life to that journey. Stanislavski method required actors to experience the feeling of living the life of another human. The basis was that actors must believe everything that is happening on stage.
The main idea of this book is coming of age. This is because the book revolves around people turning 18 to be conscripted to war or to become the next princess, and possibly the next queen. It also follows Mare’s growth as a character and how her life changes in such a short period of
“Her face was fair and pretty, with eyes like two bits of night-sky, each with a star dissolved in the blue.” This elaborate simile creates a mental image of the natural beauty of the young princess, Irene, by comparing her eyes to the night sky. The simile also parallels the depth of Irene’s soul to the dark, endless night sky.
This is achieved through the personification of the natural world and the gothic setting of Manderley. ‘Nature has come into her own again and, little by little, in her stealthy, insidious way had encroached upon the drive with long, tenacious fingers.’, this citation accentuates the instability of the protagonist, she is fearing the prospect of Rebecca. ‘Stealthy, insidious fingers’ is written in a fearful context, creating a treacherous atmosphere to the scene, this causes the audience to fear the character of Rebecca. Likewise, the narrator describes the, ‘beeches with white’ as a, ‘vault above her head like an archway of a church’, depicts that it is not Rebecca who is governing her but instead her own thoughts and beliefs of Rebecca. ‘She is comparing me to Rebecca.’, ‘the shadow came between us’ displays how the protagonist lets the belief of Rebecca come between her initial relationships with others. Du Maurier successfully demonstrates the strength and power of a gothic monster by showing that it torment and horror us

The earth matures and changes every day; therefore, the life which lives upon its surface develops with it. Because communication and story telling has always had an immense importance, literature has had a vital impact on everyday life all throughout history. Each day as the earth changes, so does literature, thus explaining why personality traits of characters and the setting in which novels take place are modified every day and shift with every time period. However, even when written in different eras, two stories can display similarities even in their most obvious differences. In just a quick glance, two pieces of literature written decades apart and with entirely opposite subjects do not seem to have much in common, but the backbone of each story contains aspects in which the other includes as well. The comparisons and contrasting ideas between Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World are explicitly delivered through the authors’ portrayals of characters, as well as the settings and worlds in which each story takes place.
The story unfolds in the form of letters written between the principal characters, giving it a unique literary texture. By using this style, de Laclos is able to give the reader a shockingly intimate look at these people as they divulge their most intimate secrets and bring to fruition their sinister plans.
Effectively using these elements in a piece of literature enhances the reader’s curiosity. One prime example of such usage of these elements is seen in Kate Chopin's writing. Her use of foreshadowing and use of emotional conflicts put into few words in the short piece "The Storm" adds an element that is alluring, holding the reader's interest. In this short piece of literature, a father and son, Bobinot and Bibi, are forced to remain in a store where they were shopping before the storm, waiting for the storm to pass over them. In the meantime, the wife and mother, Calixta, whom is still at home, receives an unexpected visit from a former lover named Alicee. The two have an affair and the story starts to come together. The story shows us how we tend to want what we beli...
