The reason I like repetition is because it clearly displays what the author is emphazising, whether it is directly related to a theme or just significant in the surrounding action of the chapter. In the story "MacBeth", the witches use repetition when addressing MacBeth saying, "All hail, MacBeth! Hail to thee...All hail, MacBeth, hail to thee" to signify the importance and kickstart the novels plot. This is what actually starts the internal conflict in MacBeth and ultimately the issue that drives the entire book because MacBeth constantly looks back on what the witches said and obsesses over it.

My quote comes from one of my favorite books, "Lord Of the Flies". "Inside the floating cloak he was tall, thin, and bony: and his hair was red". This isn't necessarily my favorite quote, but I wanted to include LOTF in this project. This quote characterizes Jack "The Hunter" in the first couple pages of the book. I like that the author captures Jacks characteristics that stand out amongst the other kids. Unlike the others, Jack is taller and has red hair. This sets up the book for a later conflict between Jack and Ralph.
 * My Favorite quote of characterization:**

"The Kite Runner", by Kalhed Hosseini, presents the theme of redemption throughout the book to effectively portray Amir's struggle after betraying a friend. Even though this is one of my favorite books, it was hard to pick a theme since there are many, but redemption is easy to pick out considering that the main character goes back to his dangerous home country to redeem himself from past mistakes. When Amir let Hassan get raped, guilt built up and took over every waking thought. It wasn't until Amir was presented with the opportunity to save Hassan's son that he could really feel better about himself. Amir was relieved once Assef punished him with a near death beating because that is what he deserved all those years after betrayal.
 * My Favorite Theme:**

One of my favorite quotes, although hard to pick from, comes from Siddharthda stating "Was Atman then not within him? Was not then the source within his own heart? One must find the source within one's own Self, one must possess it. Everything else was seeking - a detour, error." The best thing about this quote is that is can be applied universally through anything one does. Although Siddharthda is talking about reaching Nirvana, I see this as every outcome is controlled by you and you have the power to choose how you're going to act. You possess everything you need and if not then it's on you to acquire it.
 * My Favorite Quote:**

A quote I found is "What is meant by that is that when you place a person or group into the wild like animals, they will do such that, act like animals." This quote was from a while ago and represents my opinion of Lord of The Flies setting and conflict. It is a powerful statement and addresses the complexity of human nature and if setting actually effects humans or is it just what we resort to without authority.
 * My Favorite Line of my Writing:**

I like simile's a lot because they can compare various things to one another by association to help someone else understand in terms they might see more fitting. "Staring at the eyes I see pools of blue as deep as oceans and with patience a glimmer of hope knowing that these eyes withhold no disguise, but like a person, speak all they need to say". While I compare they eyes to an ocean, I focus more on the complexity behind them, sort of the mind if you will, to portray a conflict with the viewer and the person being viewed only to reassure peace at the end.
 * My Favorite Poetic Device:Simile **

Astonishingly the northern lights hover in the skies of the northern hemisphere and I have always wondered of the amazement and awe they have brought to viewers from around the globe. Seeing pictures just makes me want to visit even more to capture this natural phenomenon. It's surreal how something like that can occur. Also, the lights are sort of like natures own fireworks. The various coors draw people from around the world and to sit at night and watch them sway would leave me without words. Our conflict dealing with industrialization and progression versus conservation and reuseable fuel seems to have been around forever. It would be benefitial to write about reoccuring topic that is universal because most people don't listen so maybe a different perspective would change the outcome of people who pay attention. Just as we need to progress, the idea of conservation needs to parallel the progress because progress in industry should mean progress in humanity and healthy progress for the world we live in. Although this topic is so controversial, I would love to merge opposing sides into a agreement from a different approach in my writings.

We all worry about dying and complain that someone died too soon or too late, and we all see that it eventually happens. We hope for religion because we have "faith" in this matter, while others believe in evolution so they still don't know what happens; I assume complete blackness. Are we sure to what living is? Can we fully understand what we experience as of right now? We sleep, isn't that like dying in a way? We shut down, but our minds race. What is real? Does dying become reality after this blurry life. We worry about what we have no clue as to what happens, but why worry about what happens after if we couldn't even remember what happened before we were born. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
 * Theme I would Address: Dying **
