The lesson to be taught in these texts is to always look deeper into things whether it’s a picture or words as there’s always a hidden message and greater understanding of the world we live in. Stories or poems like these show how there’s always a hidden meaning or personal experience of someone to be told. The authors’ uses of imagery throughout the texts help give the reader an insight and vision of what is occuring. Bradbury inspired many authors, including Stephen King, Cristopher Moore, and Brett Alexander Savory Although he is no longer with us, he continues to live through his work that is still being read to this day. In conclusion, Bradbury was a very unique and inspirational author that used many different techniques to improve his writing, such as metaphors and foreshadowing. It affects the readers because it adds a sense of eeriness to the story, making them sit on the edge of their seat as they anticipate the gory ending.It also contributes to the overall excitement in the story. This specific technique along with others has a great effect on the story. Lydia is discussing the terrifyingly realistic nursery and the unsettling noises/screams that seem to come from within. After awhile, Lydia says, “those screams–they sound familiar”(Bradbury). Mid-way through the story, the parents, Lydia and George hear strange noises and screams coming from the nursery downstairs while upstairs in their bedroom. One example of this in in the short story, The Veldt, a dysfunctional household where everything is completed with technology and the children have replaced their parents with a virtual reality nursery. This complex sentence gave a better understanding of the story, helping to overall make the story more interesting.Īnother technique that Bradbury frequently used throughout his stories was foreshadowing.
Bradbury uses metaphors such as these all throughout the book, helping the readers to look beyond into the books meaning. He is also explaining her expression and her presence. Bradbury describes Clarisse’s face shape and compares her color to that of milk. When they first met he described her to the reader, “Her face was slender and milk-white, and in it was a kind of gentle hunger that touched over everything with tireless curiosity” (Bradbury 14). Early in the book, Montag meets a girl that changes his entire perspective of the world forever. One example of this is in the book Fahrenheit 451, a dystopian future where all books are illegal and any that remain are burned by “Firefighters”. Ray Bradbury constantly planted deep and unique metaphors within his stories. Within these short stories you will find many metaphors and foreshadowing, both of which help to make his stories richer/so unique. Some of his most well known pieces include The Veldt, A Sound of Thunder, and The Pedestrian. Among these famous authors is Ray Bradbury, an American author and screenwriter who lived from August 1920 to June 2012. O’Henry uses irony and complex vocabulary, Twain uses satire and dialect, and Poe uses dark imagery and repetition. All well-known authors have their signature writing techniques.
