Sound of thunder paragraph like golden salamanders

                                                      "like Chinese boxes" 

In the sound of thunder the author uses many similes to describe the surrounding atmosphere. Similes are the comparison of one thing to another using like or as. "like Chinese boxes" this simile is comparing time travel to Chinese boxes that get smaller and smaller but fit inside each other perfectly.  "like golden salamanders"  this is a simile, it is comparing something to golden salamanders. The golden salamander is also a symbol for rebirth, so the author also uses symbolism in the book. The sound of thunder uses similes which is key in descriptive stories.    

Story 101

Ordinary world- 

[DVD Store]
(Banto's DVD Store - new, second hand and rare. A bearded man at the counter is watching a shoot out on a film on the television fastened to the wall.)
SALLY: Excuse me, I'm looking for Lawrence Nightingale.
BANTO: Through the back.

Disruption -  [Wester Drumlin]

(On a dark wet night, a woman climbs over a lovely set of wrought iron gates with a Danger Keep Out Unsafe Structure London County Council notice on them and goes up the gravel driveway to the big house. She breaks in through a boarded up window and takes photographs of the plastic covered chandeliers resting on the floors, and other pieces of furniture. 


Conflict - Then she notices the letter B peeking from underneath a piece of peeling wallpaper. She pulls at it to reveal the words Beware the weeping angel. Underneath that is Oh, and duck! Really, duck! Sally Sparrow duck, now. So she ducks just before the window behind her is broken by a thrown pot, which bounces off the wall and breaks on the floor. The light of her torch reveals a statue outside, a winged angel with its hands covering its face. She goes back to the wall and pulls off more paper to reveal -
Love from the Doctor (1969)

Climax - LARRY: They're trying to get in!

SALLY: Well, hurry up then!
(As the Tardis rocks to and fro, Larry gets the DVD into the slot. The time rotor starts up.)
LARRY: What's happening?
(Just the Tardis itself dematerialises.)
SALLY: Oh, my God, it's leaving us behind. Doctor, no! You can't!
(They can see the Angels that are around the Tardis, arms and mouths wide and not covering their eyes.)

Denouement -SALLY: Doctor!

(The Tardis is gone.)
SALLY: Look at them! Quick, look at them!
LARRY: I don't think we need to. He tricked them, The Doctor tricked them. They're looking at each other. They're never going to move again.

Resolution -  [DVD store]

(One year later.)
LARRY: Can you mind the shop? I'm just nipping next door for some milk. SALLY: Yeah. No worries.
LARRY: What's this?
SALLY: Nothing.
(She has a folder containing the conversation transcript, Kathy's photographs and letter, and also a picture of an Angel covering its eyes.)
LARRY: Sally, can't you let it go?
SALLY: Of course I can't let it go.
LARRY: This is over.
SALLY: How did the Doctor know where to write the words on the wall? How could he get a copy of the transcript? Where did he get all that information from? LARRY: Look, some things you never find out. And that's okay.
SALLY: No, it isn't.
LARRY: Ever think this might be getting in the way of other things?
SALLY: We just run a shop together. That's all it is, just a shop.
LARRY: Anyway, milk. Back in a mo.
(Larry leaves. A taxi pulls up outside. Martha and the Doctor get out and start to go down the street. Sally runs outside.) 

Denouement - around the resuloution ( James Bond )

You are the sun lighting my day.
You are the heat of the sun stopping me from freezing.

There was a sound like a gigantic bonfire burning all of Time, all the years and all the parchment calendars, all the hours piled high and set aflame.
Transferring the quality years to parchment


A touch of the hand and this burning would, on the instant, beautifully reverse itself. Eckels remembered the wording in the advertisements to the letter. Out of chars and ashes, out of dust and coals, like golden salamanders, the old years, the green years, might leap; roses sweeten the air, white hair turn Irish-black, wrinkles vanish; all, everything fly back to seed, flee death, rush down to their beginnings, suns rise in western skies and set in glorious easts, moons eat themselves opposite to the custom, all and everything cupping one in another like Chinese boxes, rabbits into hats, all and everything returning to the fresh death, the seed death, the green death, to the time before the beginning. A touch of a hand might do it, the merest touch of a hand.
Juxtaposition- 2 things that are completely different.

Paragraph answers

Q5
Roald Dalh uses a lot of imagery, here are some examples."But the air was deadly cold and the wind was like a fat blade of ice on his cheeks." The author uses a simile inside of imagery.  This helps the story because it tells us how Billy's felt. "Each word was was like a large black eye." This helps the story because it shows how Billy had seen the letters on the poster.

Q6
I think that the landlady has been giving people the tea with poison in them and then she stuffs them but keeps them on the second floor so she can keep them forever. But she gets them to right there names in the book so she can't forget there names. She only does this to 17 year olds or people that look that age.

Q7
I think that the ending is a good one because it leaves the reader wondering what's going to happen next it also lets you make up your own ending so you can make it as scary as you want. I think that she will stuff him once he's dead and put him with the other people she has killed. In the beginning of the book it makes the landlady sound very nice because she is very welcoming but inside she's evil.

Forshadowing

Q2 
Foreshadowing is an advance sign or warning of what is to come in the future. The author of a mystery novel might use foreshadowing in the early chapter of his
book to give readers an inkling of an impending
murder.

When you want to let people know about an event that is yet to occur, you can use foreshadowing. Foreshadowing is used as a literary device to tease readers about plot turns that will occur later in the story. A fortune teller might use foreshadowing, warning that a short life line is a sign of some impending disaster.

I stuff all my pets when they pass away. 

Q3 

I think that the foreshadowing is what the author puts into the work, the hints about what is going to happen. Inferences would be the way the reader interprets these hints, when the reader sees ideas in the work that are not expressed directly by the author. Inferences should be based on evidence that is found in the text, however.

They are similar because they both are about predicting something. 

Q4 
The smell indicates poison so it changes the way I imagine the ending. It makes me think that the main character dies at the end tank then she stuffs him.

Why do so many British people migrate to Australia?  Alot  of British people go to Australia because... 1,207,837 people from the UK migrate to Australia.  They migrate there because the weather is a lot nicer and and the climate is better. You have the mountains and the ocean. I think the life style is nicer and more laid back. All the main places British people migrate to the weather is hotter and there's less rain. In fact many people migrate to Australia from the UK. Australia is to British immigrants as a house would be to a mouse in winter.
