    “The Lotos-Eaters” “Courage!” he said‚ and pointed toward the land‚ “This mounting wave will roll us shoreward soon.” In the afternoon they came unto a land In which it seemed always afternoon. All round the coast the languid air did swoon‚ Breathing like one that hath a weary dream. Full-faced above the valley stood the moon; And like a downward smoke‚ the slender stream Along the cliff to fall and pause and fall did seem. A land of streams! some‚ like a downward smoke

Rather written‚ spoken‚ or musically played‚ people cannot undo the impact of their language. Words not only hold power in real life‚ but also in fiction novels. The use of the accordion and Liesel’s book in The Book Thief illustrate the presence of symbolism which Markus Zusak uses to shed light on the power of words. The accordion illustrates the importance

Blake was known for expressing his own dominant ideologies‚ where he was highly criticized for contesting common societal beliefs. Perhaps this was why the essential meaning
