Brief Summary Of Callaghan's False Castle
Several lands to the north of the Callaghan’s Kingdom, stood a massive ironstone castle, embedded in a mountain, encased by a vast forest of twisted cherry oak trees with leaves the color of charcoal. The people of this land-name after their beloved Queen, Rosemore, hold the castle as a beacon of hope that represents the paragon of their late King, and the sacrifice he made to protect them.

KING CAXTON WYLIE sat at his late father’s desk, staring intently at a deed for an abandoned land in a dismal village, near the hillside of the northern border. The ache he felt over the loss of his father, lingers in his chest. It has been three months since his father’s passing, in which the king was still in mourning. His attention was diverted elsewhere

His mind was pondering over the unending plight that has taken hold of the Callaghan’s realm. He suddenly rises from his chair, accidentally bumping the edge of his wooden desk. The sharp tremble knocks over an inkwell filled with squid ink, splattering it over everything it touches. He stood in front of a rectangular window, peering through its stained glass to a flourishing garden: of an array of different species of flowers with vibrant, colorful petals. “How many more lives will be lost in this endless quest for peace?” he wonders in a dampened tone. “How long will my subjects be doomed to suffer through an endless battle that’ll bring them…such suffering…such …show more content…
She gently steers his face to hers, giving him a tender peck on his chisel cheek. “My love,” the woman in red speaks in a breathy tone, “the ache you feel will not last forever.” Her full lips are grazing the surface of his ear. “There’ll come a day, when you’ll be able to finally breathe, and the pain will subside into nothingness; releasing a light that’ll free you from the darkness that has consumed your heart.” She slides her petite fingers in-between his, locking them together as to symbolize two hearts becoming one. “Oh…my love, do not let doubt and fear devour you. Do not allow those feelings to fester in your heart, are you will never see the tremendous blessing you have been given. Your father would’ve never entrusted you with his legacy if he didn't believe in

    John Kinsella: the Crest

    • 1543 Words

    There are, however, places where Kinsella tightens his focus on how disaster is lived out in personal ways, by highlighting what a calamity can do to people, families. This technique is used to evoke affective responses in the reader – to make a connection. The crest is described to be an “undoer of families”, illustrating the effects of the accidents it can cause on them and which readers can relate to in apersonal way. There is also a type of contrast used by saying how our uncritical enjoyment of the country views we have from the road can be ended, over the crest. The rural landscape and countryside is beautiful with its natural features; hills rolling out into the distance. What lies on the other side of the crest is not beautiful at all.…

    The film, ‘The Castle’, directed by Rob Sitch, is an Australian satirical movie about the triumphs of an ordinary working class family. It is a comedy, and foregrounds the importance of family and loyalty, which are considered important in today’s Australian society. Although the audience is positioned to feel sympathy for the Kerrigan family because of their unfortunate situation, their story is told in such a comical manner that the audience can’t help but find it funny. The story is told through the perspective of Darryl Kerrigan’s son, Dale, but so much emphasis is put on Darryl that it is clear that he is the star of the story. The film uses techniques like camera shots, language and the use of narration to develop conflict between a decent, old fashioned suburban family, the Kerrigans and seemingly evil corporation called Airlink. Feature films like ‘The Castle’ are cultural products because they use attitudes, values and stereotypes about what it means to be Australian.…

    When reading a book it is very important to read between the lines, to catch the hidden meanings and metaphors that lie within its pages. " A Separate Peace " is no exception as it is filled with metaphors which give the novel a concealed meaning and teach the reader about many things including the immense impact of World War II on people of the era. This essay will identify and explore some of them in order to further understand John Knowles' novel and the message he wanted to get across. Finny's Clothes, The Winter Carnival, Blitzball, and The Tree are all adequate examples of metaphors in this tale as they all have double meanings that bring the reader into a whole new world, one filled with mystery and wonder. Metaphors play an amazingly important role in this novel as they transform it from a plain story into a complex one, where simple things represent a greater, intricate reality.…
