First Person Beauty

The grass is so green, and my dress is so soft with its stripes. I know that my mom wants me to play catch, but all I want to do is be my idol, Sleeping Beauty. It's the easiest game to play! All I do is grab the nearest flower, run to a nice soft piece of land, and lie down. Holding my flower, with my eyes closed, I know I am the most beautiful girl in the world and that no one can harm me because I am under a powerful spell..

I remember this day fondly, I used to play this game a lot. I would be sleeping beauty, and would hold the nearest flower-ish thing pretending to sleep while my friend would pretend to be the prince. That role usually involved touching me on the forehead instead of kissing me, but the intent was still the same. I woke up, a beautiful princess, and would run away with my fake prince and then laugh and go find my mom.

The Motifed Jungle

Well, I may only be half-way done with this book, but I think with my current information i have enough to do an adequate project on it. I decided that the DOMINATING LITERARY ELEMENT (that's quite a handful to say) was Motif! The motif in The Jungle (as far as I have read) is the cattle and the pigs that get brutally slaughtered every day. There is always some mention of them, and how gross or how helpless or whatever they are. Or how nasty it is to kill them. Bleagh. Upton Sinclair probably addressed this the most becuase it makes the most sense! Now I would love to write more but I really need to go read my book, so bye. :D
