What is the setting and how does the setting impact the story? The setting of the book is Portland, Maine in the future, where love is illegal. If the story weren’t set at that location in that time, the whole story line would be lost. The story wouldn’t have the hiding places and love might not be illegal. This impacts the characters because, they wouldn’t have had their special meeting places and they could have had a legal loving relationship.

An example of figurative language from the novel is, “When he finally pulls away it’s like a blanket has come down over my brain.” This is an example of a simile.

Give specific details on your connection in about 5 sentences. The connection I made to this book was text to text. This book was similar to the book The Maze Runner because of the boarders. In The Maze Runner the maze was the boarder and it was meant to keep the society inside and the others out. This is like Delirium, because the fence in Delirium is keeping the society in and the rebels out. These two books both had society’s that were under rule of others as well. This connection helped me to understand the idea of the fence more thoroughly. 6. RATING: Rate this book on a scale of 1 to 10.

Throughout the novel, the author Edward Bloor uses literary devices such as similes to make the readers visualize the descriptive situations in the story. These similes describe to the reader how different occurrences relate to other actions, objects, or living things.
22. What is Clarence implying when she says her mother is "not keen on being 'round you lot"? (p.119)
1970. Choose a character from a novel or play of recognized literary merit and write an essay in which you (a) briefly describe the standards of the fictional society in which the character exists and (b) show how the character is affected by and responds to those standards. In your essay do not merely summarize the plot.
In the story there are 3 types of conflict, Person vs. Self, Person vs. Society and Person vs. Person. Person vs. Self would come in when Carolee had to decide what she was gonna do. Would she call the police or help the person or just leave well alone. Person vs. Society would be the police force against the suspect. Finally Person vs. Person would be when the suspect shot the other police officer and when he was getting shot at.
In chapter one of the novel, Anthem, by Ayn Rand, the author incorporates figurative language to develop the characters and the setting. The first example that portrays figurative language is, “The walls are cracked and water runs upon them in thin threads without sound, black and glistening as blood.” This example uses a metaphor to compare the water on the walls to glistening blood. In return, the readers can get a visual of the rooms setting and what the walls look like. Another example from chapter one is, “Their hair was white and their faces were cracked as the clay of a dry river bed.”
• What are the characters’ emotions, attitudes, and behaviors? What do these indicate to the reader about the character?
This book is a very good book. It is not one of my favorite books, but it is in, or somewhat close to, the top ten list. It has an intriguing story and has some humor in it to make sure that it isn’t all mellow.
Using figurative language helps create imagery and enhances the imagination of the readers. The use of personification allows the author to give human like characteristics to non-living things. An example within the story that displayed intense emotion was included this quote,“This set formula, spoken in a kind of lilt, would awaken loud echoes in Tzili’s soul, and their reverberations spread throughout her body” (Appelfeld, p. 275). By adding in this literary device the readers can foreshadow Tzili’s growth throughout the story and how she realizes who she is as an individual and matures into a strong and independent

1. Who are the most important characters? Identify the protagonist/antagonist/ Write down important information and characteristics about each one.
I think that this work is a very well put together book. Even though In the earlier questions I make it sound like a ten on ten this book is not. I rate this book a 9/10 for the soul reason that it was on a very directed path and you could the events that were going to happen before they did by just reading the book. Even the twist that the author put in were not that book which made some of the book predictable and who really wants a book in which they know everything that is going to happen.
Figurative language is a main component in showcasing the emotions the characters reveal. An example being when the author writes “ The children huddled up to her and breathed like little calves waiting at the bars in the twilight.” This portrays the children's emotions with more emphasis and really shows how they watched everything Granny Weatherall did with precision. This type of writing really helps the reader understand what is going on within the characters and their actions. The author also displays figurative language in the way she describes how John would be in the situation of them still being together. She describes him as being more of a child, rather than taking a parent role.
In my opinion, I would rate the book a 2.5/5 as it really wasn’t the read for me. The novel had so much potential: three sisters
