    She works in a garden and farms and cultivates just as well as a man and never fails to amaze her husband of her skills. The story starts with her husband asking her to go into town for a nice dinner date night after he goes into the hills with their sun to look for some steers. As her husband goes off with the son, a stranger comes along their ranch and seeks for directions, as he is lost.

The author's writing style affects one nursery drastically, changing the real use of the crystallized room and the lives of the owners. With imagery, syntax, and diction, Bradbury creates this dystopian society and gives the reader a foreshadow of the power in technology (thesis).…

The protagonist asks the others if they hear the noises, to which they say yes, but act as if it is normal and a regular occurrence. The protagonist brushes it off, until they hear their name being whispered. They ask again if anyone hears this, to which everyone says no, and acts as if she is greatly mistaken. This is the first step in the Hero’s Journey, The Ordinary World. The Call To Adventure begins next, as the character tries to investigate by knocking on the door of the apartment above, and asking other neighbours that happen to walk by.

    She said that the cabin was old and patched up, but the neighboring bay completely covered it all up to make it look as cozy as home. The author also added in a couple of clues here and there, like when Bess was captured and then released right away. That showed me that there was more than one person responsible for whatever was going on up there. Another clue that the author gave away was when she said that the girl walking on the water walked slowly out into the water getting smaller for every step she took, which kind of gave away the fact that the girl was on stilts. Another clue in that same situation was when Nancy heard a crack and the girl fell into the water. After that, I really didn’t feel like reading ahead because I already knew what was happening. I do like clues in a book to give you a hint, but to that point where it completely gives it away, not one of my favorite book…
