    Cruelest Miles Analysis

    Although each chapter contained information about events in the past, it ended with how those events applied in the present and how those past events shaped the present society of Nome, Alaska. Reading this book did change my thoughts on the theme of the story. Although the importance of teamwork was a major and important part of the plot, the book is styled so that each chapter starts out with a historic event that took place and then how it shaped the present. This included how the first dogsled team came to be or the history of alaska and how it shaped it modern culture etc. This makes me think that rather than teamwork, the theme is more along the lines of everything in history affects the present and future.…

    Crazy For The Storm Norman Ollestad Character Analysis

    Their determination and attitude towards the situation is what helps them reach the goals they set and achieve success. And that’s what I think that the author was trying to relay to the reader as the theme for the book. One of the reasons I say that is because of an example in the book. After getting down the mountain one of the news reporters asked him how did he have the effort to make it down the mountain and he answered, “my dad always said to never give…

    But it also is a reflection of the imperfection if human beings and darker side of life, like poverty and death; by the end of the first chapters we already have some suicides, Doc finds a dead girl on the beach etc. Because all the stories happen in the same neighborhood the book gives you a sense of community, no matter how different the characters seem to be, for example Doc is a marine biologist, Mack and the boys are just a group of bums, Lee Chong is the owner of a grocery store where you can buy almost everything, and Dora is the owner of a brothel. As the chapters unravel as you read you start to have an understanding of the characters in this little community; Lee Chong is shown to be hard headed but at the same time kind hearted, Mack and the boys are described by the book as ideals, even though they don’t have much they seem to live life in peace and free of the worries of modern…

    The Journey By Estevan Character Analysis

    Every story has to have an element of “The Journey” within it. this is the most important plot pattern archetype in literature. The journey in a novel or story isn’t always an actual movement from one place to another; the journey can be internal (mental/emotional). Often the journey can be represented as either a struggle or a desire to achieve a goal and most stories start off with the main character in search of something.. In the three novels read this summer we see this archetype, both internal and external journeys.…

    The Maze Runner Hero's Journey

    This is apparent in James Dashner’s novel, “The Maze Runner”, as the stages of departure, initiation, and return are all evident in making connections to the plot of his story. Similarly, some of the steps from those stages also help clarify the theme of “The Maze Runner”. Dashner allows readers to see how he is able to employ a hero’s journey cycle to make his plot and theme better, developing it. Thus, Dashner is able to express the idea that the hero’s journey cycle has the ability to communicate and expand upon the theme and plot of a story. On a final note, a hero’s journey, albeit differing from a novel’s plot and theme, may help reinforce the theme and plot of a…
