I am to write a letter to the author in my English class and so far i have jot down: suspense / foreshadow / imagery / suspense / irony -- all situational, verbal, and dramatic Can you help me find another literary device and explain how it would be able to enhance the story. By no means am i asking for you to write my essay for me, i just am in need of a little bit of help. Thanks to all those who answer in advance. =] Posted by i1loudchic on Jan 5, 2009. |

I would tie symbolism in there as well. You could talk about the island itself being a symbol. It is Ship Trap Island after all. You could use the lighthouse as well, describing how it is a false beacon of light that does not help, but draws men to their deaths. Another idea with symbolism is when Zaroff takes Rainsford to see his "collection of heads." He describes his new-found prey and talks about his "new" collection that we assume to be human heads. This can then tie together the belief that hunting (animals--even though legally) is murder. Perhaps that is what Connell is saying to us through the story. Any of these examples will work. They all have enhanced the story to some degree. Posted by troutmiller on Jan 5, 2009. |
