Clue 3
1. It is literature being expressed in an artistic way.
1. Identify the important idea. Look at the title of the story and try to find clues about what the book will be about. Identify the characters relation to the central topic. Pay attention to important events, dialogue, ideas, metaphors, and changes in a character's action or beliefs. Think and organize your thoughts. Write them down. Put the central topic in the middle and write down thigs that connect to it.
2. I am not sure if this is proper but its that I have more than one theme in my life as I have seen it now. Whenever I come to school, I feel nervous. I wish I would just not be nervous when I come to school but I feel nervous. I also think of many things that I don't want to think about and I get quite some stress. But this is mostly during the early times of school. What I think the theme should be for this one is that I should make more contact with people and a few friends that I have. I think if we talk more and know each other more, than even this problem that I have is not diminished, I think I would have lesser amounts of it. If that doesn't work or you just can't do it, than I think I should start to pary for keeping on praying is like a planting seeds untill a plant, fruit, or a tree has come to be.
3. In my opinion, I think that the theme of Gods plan for this world is that, well, at least for mankind, this Earth will end, that this world is not the place for all humans to stay forever but that there is a rightful place to be. That for humans, the Earth will end and that the narrow path will be entered by only those who are like Noah.
2. I think that the theme for the utterly perfect murder is that no matter how bad the past was, the past is the past and that you should leave it behind unless if it something worth remembering or a good experience. People can change as they become adults, just like everyones faces change as time passess by. I t relates to my own life very well in that I keep thinking about the bad past with hatred, and evil, and harm. When someone has done somethings bad or that if I just feel bad because of someone, I keep thingking over and over about harm and sometimes even killing. Sometimes I also think that despite of these things being that of the past and that I know that it should be ignored, I think that its worthwhile to take revenge and in any way for the very fact that they did somthing bad and that I should also have the time of hurting them in any sort of way for in my life, I haven't really done so often and that I should have some share of it. Yet at the heart of all this thinking, my victory against that person in my mind calms me down.
3. A moral of a story is different from a theme in that a theme is the nature of humanity as it is depicted in the novel and a moral is the lesson of the story.
4. Yes, I think that that is a theme statement for Gods story in that he gave his only son so that we can all be saved and that our spirit can live forever through him. This relates to the truth that you may find in literature in that the truth is powerful and unbreakable.

Clue 6
1a. Metaphor is a part of figurative language that makes comparisons between two unlike things with out using the words like or as. The comparisons are often of the things that are not related to each other. It's used to enhance understanding and expression. There are dead metaphors and living metaphors. Living metaphors are those that are considered novel and the dead ones are that are incorporated into normal usage. The difference of these two are not decisive. Similes are a part of figurative language that is often poetic and is a comparison of things using like or as. Like metaphors, similes are at most times a comparison of things that are unrelated to each other.
1b. Authors use figurative language so that there piece of writing is more artistic. What I also think is that authors may want to express there ideas in such a way. That there feelings or experiences had that type of feeling and they use figurative language to express it. I also think that authors are in a mood to always make the readers want to question and think about these things that they are writing about. That they are not in the mood or think it is more better if they never directly state the thing or idea but let the reader think about what it is. That to let them figure out by themselves is always more fun for the author to do so.
2. Three metaphors that I think are interseting are:
In my prime I established an empire, in the end, I closed its chapter.
I think this one is interesting because it states that in prime time, things are good, but in the end, it comes to nothing. What is also interesting is that it states that he, the one who created, also destroys it.
A lifetime is a day, death is sleep; a lifetime is a year, death is winter.
I think this poem is intereseting in that it states that lifetime is a day and death is sleep. When your dead, you are not moving like you're sleeping. When you're dead, you're cold so that is well on with death is winter. I think that maybe, its a case that lifetime is a day as in unless if you don't take a nap, your awake. Also it could represent that life time is a day as in one day, where you waking up is a sign of birth and that you sleeping in the night is a sign of death.
3. "I am the resurrection and the life." John chapter 11 verse 25.
4. This metaphors reveals about God's world in that his world is the ultimate truth. It shows that his world is the ultimate greatness. That anyone who lives in it, wether its in heaven or on Earth has not spiritually died but is living. It reveals about my understanding of it in that although I am very sinfull, I do understand what God's world is like.

The Utterly Perfect Murder
I think that the utterly perfect murder will be about a stunning, exceptional muder. It was not until about three or four years later that I wanted revenge on some terrible insult. I did not act upon that desire for I was living in a seperate place faraway. I began to think of brutally hitting and injuring the person and after that I felt better.
Reader's Responce
I've never felt connected to any character in a book that I have read nor have I found a character that was a lot like me. However, I do think that it is important to make a personal connection to literature because, reading something that is connected and a lot like you may make you realize and reflect on yourself. It may also make you feel interested that a personality is similar to you and that there is a similar connection.
