Moonlight Rita Cashore

Moonlight Sonata - peaceful calm “The man with the white streak in his black hair was diving too close to her again.” (Cashore 3) Moonlight Sonata fits here because the scene is calm but still slightly suspenseful. It also fits here because the song represents how everything will be okay in the end, but might not be right now. The song also fits the prologue because the prologue is calm but still sad at times, just as Moonlight is.“The creature tried to quiet her trembling limbs, so that if the human got deep enough to see her, he would think she was just a mountain of moss on the ocean floor and stop scaring her.” (Cashore 3) The song fits with this sentence since the song is hopeful and almost weak sounding, as she is, since she is scared of the human. It also fits here because the human gets forcefully taken from the water soon after this quote.
Who is the child?’ Another reason it fits is because the first chapter is powerful at times, but also calming in others. “When, hours later, the party emerged from the tunnels into the pink morning light of the Monsean forest, tears began to stream down the face of Selie’s mother.” (Cashore 13)The song also fits here, since the moment is emotional and relieving, as is the song. The second reason the song applies here is that the moment is the moment is momentous, as they are fleeing from a country that wants to kill them. Another reason this song fits here is that it is sad as well because the journey is over, and they have nothing to do
