    All throughout the novel, Hollow City , Ransom Riggs, a very talented author, uses detailed dialogue and description to build character. He does this with all of the important characters and even some of the smaller characters. The way he builds characters varies from the way he makes the character pronounce words to the actions each character does. Jacob is definitely the main character of the book, and he has quite a bit of description about him. On page 74, Jacob and his friends are running away from a hollow, and he is forced to use his secret powers, which allow him to communicate with hollows. During this he…

    Emily's iron- gray hair has chronological significance in the story. First, the hair belongs to Emily, who had sometime slept on the bed beside Homer Baron's dead body, near where it was found. This term “Iron-Gray” had only lied within passage 4 in paragraph 6 when the narrator describes changes in appearance of Emily: “During the next few years, it grew grayer and grayer until it attained an even pepper-and-salt iron- gray, when it ceased turning”(Faulkner, 4.6) this happened during the period of 6 or 7 years when she gave out china-painting lessons after Homer disappeared. Second, the phrase “Iron- gray hair” has connotations that can be applied to the story. The word: “Iron” could mean stubborn, or iron willed. Stubborn is definitely a describing word for Emily. The group of narrators describes a time when Emily came to pick up a bottle of Arsenic from the general store: “Why, of course”, the druggist said, “if…

    One could almost see Bowker’s stressed, confused, yet accepting face through the words in the letter. He’s pouring out his thoughts about life and his place in it, all along the way thinking about what he has said and what he’s going to say next as seen in the second part of the letter that Bowker shows: “God, this is starting to sound like some jerkoff vet crying in his beer. Sorry about that.” (150). It’s here that the roller coaster of emotion levels out a little bit and we can see direct evidence of Bowker start to use this letter as a platform for self-reflection. Generally self-reflection is supposed to be used to identify personal issues to fix them and eventually make yourself into a happier, better person. Here, Bowker attempts to…

    This passage makes me feel sad because of the sudden death of Liesel. As a result, this prompts me into realizing that one of theme of this book is about how life is unpredictable. An example of this is when Liesel dies without warning.

Therefore, I've learned that cherishing the people around me is important as they might die without warning, like…

    Writing a dialectical journal for the first time was actually interesting. Especially spending each day with a leaf. I would get weird looks or questions from my family and friends why I am holding a leaf. If I saw someone holding a deformed leaf in the library, or cafeteria I would react the same way. For a week we have to take at least ten minutes of our time to write down our experience with our object for class. In my case I took my leisure time with a leaf.…

    We are first introduced to the theme of loneliness in the first chapter of the novel In his second letter to his sister, we learn that Walton was trapped in the Arctic and feels lonely and isolated, with no one to turn to for comfort, "I have no friend, Margaret: when I am glowing with the enthusiasm of success, there will be none to participate my joy." (pg 19) The theme of loneliness then continues on throughout the story. From Justine to Elizabeth to Victor, all of whom have experienced the pain of isolation. Elizabeth grows up without knowing her mother, whom had died giving birth to her. Similarly, when Justine's father dies, she lives with her mother, who ends up treating her very badly and was often alone. These examples of abandonment represent a type of loneliness and this is embodied in the unforgiving environment of the Artic. No matter where one looks, all he sees is ice-covered tundra. In much the same way, no matter where an orphan looks, no one appears to support him or her.…
