Snow White: Literary Devices

Literary devices create many different familiar settings and moods, which can be used by the reader to categorize the different things they see and hear in the story. One example of how authors create these devices is by creating imagery. By saying something like, “…snowflakes were falling from the sky like feathers,” the author has taken us into the story and is showing us what, in this case, the Queen is seeing. Imagery is often followed by mood. By showing how delicately the snow is falling, like feathers, the author has conveyed a peaceful and comfortable mood. The final device in the example above is called a simile. This simile compares the snowflakes to feathers. Feathers have a connotation of being light and fun to be around, and by using that knowledge the author had already made us feel at peace and closer to the character, because you both feel and see the same things. Another great example of imagery is by telling us how,”…the red [blood] looked so beautiful on the white snow…” The imagery in this sentence shows us the blood on the snow. We can imagine the drop of blood on the snow. Another thing in this example is symbolism and foreshadowing. The snow represents purity and a new beginning. The fact that the Queen’s blood spills on that purity foreshadows that she is going to die. Also, the Queen sees the blood and refers to her unborn child foreshadows that the princess will be born pure but because the blood has tainted her purity, she will be the cause of something bad, and something bad will happen with her. The third and final example is when the author describes how, “Envy and pride grew like weed in her heart, until she knew no peace by day or by night.” The first literary device in this example is a simile. This simile is comparing the feelings (envy and pride) to weeds or unwanted things that mess up the beauty of something. That simile is leading us directly into mood. After reading that sentence, a tense and uncomfortable mode is created for the reader. It is because of this foreshadow, that the reader feels the new Queen is going to do something to Snow White, which we predicted when the blood fell on the snow, that will make her (the evil Queen) feel better about herself.

Jersy song

	Lookin like Mike Sorrentino Situation Go around fking ever girl, every nation Watchin' for grenades, who parade, what thy thing i behave? haha b*tch u aint no temptation -super bored on a cell phone (nothing is spelled right lol)

Save the Earth

Wrote a song for the benefit album at El Camino Real High School: Humanitas... its called 'SAVE THE EARTH'

[1]

Look out your window

Tell me what you see/

Billboards and stop lights?

Can you even feel a breeze?

It didn’t used to be that way

It used to be so green

But most trees just went away

Forgot natures in our dream

[Br]

Acid rain keeps wiping out our forests

Bull dozers knocking them down

Global Warming keeps singing like a chorus

Now this time we have to

[Ch]

Save the trees/

Save the reefs/

Save the animals

Please, Please/

Save the Earth/

Heal the bay/

And everyone will know

The worlds ok

Its ok, the worlds ok

[2]

We can’t keep pretending

We don’t know what’s happening

When the signs/ are all around us/

Just go outdoors/

Like Mr. Al Gore

And tell the world what’s happening to us/

Say that

[Br]

Acid rain keeps wiping out our forests

Bull dozers knocking them down

Global Warming keeps singing like a chorus

Now this time we have to

[Ch]

Save the trees

Save the reefs

Save the animals

Please, Please

Save the Earth

Heal the bay

So the kids can go and play

And everyone will know the worlds ok

[Br]

Acid rain keeps wiping out our forests (acid rain)

Bull dozers knocking them down (bull dozers)

Global Warming keeps singing like a chorus

Now this time we have to

[Ch]

Save the trees/

Save the reefs/

Save the animals

Please, Please/

Save the Earth/

Heal the bay/

And everyone will know

The worlds ok

Its ok, the worlds ok

Ooohhhh ohhhh ohhh oh oh oh

Its goanna be a /brighter day

Its goanna be a /brighter day

Help clear that /smoke away

Its goanna be a /brighter day

Math Essay

Let me tell you the where it all began–cants. Life here on the unit circle isn’t so bad, being a solgob and all. A solgob is what my species is call. We look like humans… but we all have purple eyes for boys and pink eyes for girls; a unit circle is a space on a plain that is exactly one unit on all sides. Oh, where are my manners?! Hello, my name is Ten-view, and I am a solgob. We lived a peaceful life in the land of Math in our own little unit circle, which we called Gary. Now Gary has constants, or unchanging numbers, all on four of its sides. There are many unit circles in the world, but none overlap and no two are the same. The one we lived on was the party unit circle, that’s why we were purple. Another thing that is different between our two species is we have only one year. Pi represents the ongoing year, because on the year 3 we decided that we would just change the name of the month every 789654 years (365 days in the human world). So not to be confused pi (also represented with “π”) stands for 3.1415… and never ends.

Our story On Grosmon: 47: Pi, or in your world that’s January 16 year unknown. Everything seems to be going great when we saw all of the sine and cosine fractions getting dizzy. For those of you who don’t know, sine is opposite over hypotenuse or also y and cosine is adjacent over hypotenuse or also x. Back to the story, so they were walking kind of funny and switching their signs, the y started getting shorter and the x getting longer so they kind of looked like each other. When they die the, don’t die they are still living just different, they are called the inverse trigonometric functions, but I won’t get into that. Not many people thought that was a big idea. Now everyone knows that when sin sits on cos, they are known as tangents. Well even the tangents were acting funny, running around and yelling and such. That’s when you know something is definitely wrong. That night I went on Glorfbook to see what my friends were saying about this, but it was as if no one else but I had noticed that something was definitely fishy.

The next morning is when the whole unit circle seemed to put alpha (α) and beta (ß) together. They said that the unit circle was shifting a number of degrees, and that this was very rare. They also stated that they had discover that when the constant 1s were falling, to protect themselves the sin and cos animals were using big rods to protect themselves. The channel 97.6 news showed us a video of this happening, then something amazing happened, a new species was born when the 1 fell on the sine holding the bar; the sine transformed! The news called it a…cosecant, and the one for the cosine was a secant, and the last one, for the tangent, was called a cotangent. The cotangent was formed then the cosine jumped on top of the sin and protected the sine with the bar. They said all of these strange creatures are the second level, evaluations if you will, to the sin, cos, and tans. Then the impossible happened, the news castors said that these –cants had the ability to carry theta. Theta, Θ, is some kind of an energy source that stands in for the constants. No one has ever even thought that something like this was possible.

The reason I am telling you this story is because now I am about to be beheaded for treason against the supreme overload, he calls himself Dr. H. Dr. H has imprisoned us because we lead the resistance. Let me start from the part where everything went to the negative y-axis. After the power of the theta was discover Dr. H, the words greatest mathematician in all of the unit circles combined! He made a very important breakthrough on how to harness the power of the theta. But this power made him corrupt and eventually he took over all of the unit circles. The only way to stop him was to enter the formula to chance degrees to radians. We, the resistance, were so close to cracking the password that he had put into the solgolbuter when we were discovered. We fought off his evil equatroops as long as we could but in the end we were just out numbered. We surrendered in the hope that we would have another chance, but it doesn’t look good. Our secondary troops are out now to make sure that the equation gets entered not matter what happens. If they fail…if you get this message, please help us, we can defeat Dr. H, solve his evil equations, find the password and enter the equation!
