    Winnie-the-Pooh offers an assessment of his abilities and his personality that also reflect a larger view of the archetype: the innocent youth. Milne offers his reader subtle hints of Pooh’s personality when he says, “He could see the honey. He could smell the honey. But he couldn’t reach the honey.” (Milne 14) Milne’s repetition and use of the anaphora is key to understanding Pooh and his charisma.

    parents in the room with the African veldt. Then, “Mr. Hadley looked at his wife and they turned and looked back at the beasts edging slowly forward crouching, tails stiff. Mr. and Mrs. Hadley screamed. And suddenly they realized why those screams had sounded familiar.”(Bradbury) The children went to the most drastic thing to keep their technology: killing their own parents.
