Motif- Hatchet

Must explain.....
DeleteDiction
ReplyDeletepage 74, "old death"
Ah, ah, ah, not so fast. Diction will always have some sort of effect. If it is an example of diction, we must justify why... what effect does this specific word choice have on the passage/reader?
DeleteIt tells the reader that the smell that Brian smelled smelled terrible. Gary Paulsen doesnt say that it smelled bad, he says in smelled like old death
DeleteParadox- In the city,at night, there was sometimes danger. But here, there was no danger that he could sense, the bear had moved on and- this filled his thought- the berries were so good. (Paulsen Gary, page 71)
ReplyDeleteAnja, you are so right! Where did you get such a brilliant notion?
ReplyDeleteAntagonist - Canadian wilderness
ReplyDeleteonomatopoeia - "Unnnngh" (Gary Paulsen p. 75)
ReplyDeleteSymbolism- It terrified him. The smell was one of rot, some musty rot that made him think only of graves with cobwebs and dust and old death

Internal Monologue- "I will not let you go out,he said to himself,to the flames-not ever" (Gary Paulsen pg:89)
ReplyDeleteIrony- He drops the hatchet in the lake (where the plane is), because it is the one tool he cant live without. If he loses it, he doesn't know if he will manage to survive!

ReplyDeleteRepetition-
"It had come up from the water for a reason, a good reason, and he must try to understand the reason....It had come up from the water for a reason, and the reason, he thought, squatting , the reason had to do with the pile of sand." (Hatchet, Gary Paulsen, pg. 93)
Yaro- Motif
ReplyDeleteI think that "Hatchet" is the motif because it has a symbolic importance in the story because his mother wields it to him as a gift which helps Brian survive and craft tools in the wilderness.
