There have been many books about what the future might be like, and many about how it could go wrong, but few were as popular or as ominously real as Fahrenheit 451, by Ray Bradbury. While the book is marvel, the epigraph contained at the beginning is also quite a powerful message. Written by the Spanish poet Juan Ramon Jimenez, it reads “If they give you ruled paper, write the other way.” As one might guess, this is not meant to be taken literally, but rather as a representation of the characters and society of Fahrenheit 451, and to an extent the people and society of the real world. By using this metaphor, you can divide the characters of the book (and by extension the people of the world) into a few categories, those that write normally,

To begin with, in the story the author gives some personification in about each paragraph. For example, when a mongoose fights the snake and happens to get bitten, he runs off and eats some herb that cures him.(para#32). Another example would be when Rikki-tikki said he was too well bred to bite or scratch(para#36). The evidence is an example of personification, because it shows animals and other things that don’t talk and the author makes it look like they were human. This personification proves the theme by showing every time Rikki Tikki has to fight, and there is personification, it shows that he won’t give up, he’ll fight as long as he can.

Essential to overcoming adversity is the ability to cause change in yourself and others around you.

He is treated differently than everyone else that is already there and nobody will tell him what is going on or answer any of his questions. He is bullied and people put a label on him because he arrived differently than everyone else did. He is accused of being a spy for the people that put him there even before he could introduce himself.

Personification is the practice of imputing human characteristics to inanimate objects or living creatures. There are numerous personification examples in the text. The reeds along the stream bobbed and bowed in a respectful manner. Samantha was persuaded that these trees were watching her like protective parents. The stream is personified in the first example as it swished, splashed, and crept over the tiny stones.

First, Dashner uses mood in, “Maze Runner,” to make the reader feel desperate. Towards the end of the book grievers begin attacking the boys, AKA the gladers. The boys are being attacked and their is nothing they can do to fend off the grievers. James Dashner uses imagery to develop this desperate mood.

This torment can be seen through the simile, “Tom is like the dark interior of a house”, as Tom is looked upon by society as bad and as a madman, going crazy from his past.

He ordered Pip to steal food and a file from Pip's sister who is an abusive narcissist whom Pip is frankly terrified of and her husband who has taken the role of Pip's father figure. In order to keep the convict from possibly hurting him Pip has to steal food from the shrew's pantry without her finding out.
