Similarities Between 'And Then There Were None'

This description of the sounds is giving the readers a look at what will be happening later in the

The ground violently and rambunctiously shaking! Inside of all the horror! There are bangs and snaps! Someone bangs on the attic door he’s hiding in! Then those bangs become constant gargantuan kicks!

He unlocked the door and opened it. Just before he stepped inside, he heard a faraway scream. And then another roar from the lions, which subsided quickly.” The scream in the 1st passage symbolizes someone dying, even though Mr. Hadley doesn’t know who it is, the scream indicates that someone is hurt and died.

In the nightmare sequence, the /s/ sound is used to show the extreme level of tension the main character experiences. “sandy” (line 1); “dustpan,” “sat,” “soot” (line 2); “fireplace,” “bricks,” “missing,” “supposed” (line 3); “smoke,” “trace,” “sand” (line 4); “sweep,” “soot” (line 5); “spiders,” “small” (line 6); “first,” “scrambled,” “soot” (line 7); “spiders,” “slithered” (line 8) “pressing,” “against” (line 9); “swifter,” “squeezed” (line 11); “silently,” “spider” (line 12); “size,” “once,” “pressed” (line 13); “against,” “soot” (line 14); “twist (line 16); “this,” “balance,” “towards,” “least,” “sudden,” (line 17); “himself,” “staring,” “stock-still” (line 18); and “soles” (line 19). The frequency of sibilance is 13.05% (41 out of 314 words had an /s/ sound) in the nightmare, which directly corresponds to his elevated levels of tension; once he awakens from his dream, the frequency of sibilance drops to 12.80% (21 out of 164 words). “staring”, “space” (line 20); “chest,” “Betsy” (line 21); “slowly,” “slow” (line 22); “sleep,” “swell,” “stroked” (line 23); “darkness,” “spiders,” “settled,” “against” (line 24); “studied” (line 25); “so,” “sweater” (line 27); “softly,” “darkness” (line 28); “listening,” “basket” (line 29); and “its” (line 30).

The Bell children began to see strange creatures near their property. They also complained about strange sounds around their house. Betsy, Drewry and John began to hear someone knocking on their door and windows. Sometimes they heard wings flapping against their ceilings and the sound of rats gnawing on the bedposts, the sound of a heavy object hitting the floor, the sound of what appeared to be “beds suddenly and roughly pulled apart”, fighting dogs chained together. The list goes on.

Crackle, crackle, stomp. These are the sounds the men heard as they realized they were trapped in the monster’s lair. In the stories of Homer’s The Odyssey and that of the Coen Brothers’ O Brother Where Art Thou, there are different depictions of one of the worlds most well known monsters, the cyclops.

Early in the story there is a mood of hope and excitement despite the boys “incarceration”. This is highlighted in the description of the moon illuminating the snow covering the ground outside the boys sleeping quarters. “The moon and the stars spread a thin blue light over the whitening ground below.

One of the many good examples of this is in chapter 3, when Kingshaw attempts to find peace but instead finds danger and pain in the form of a crow attack. Hill uses sound imagery widely in this extract to help create a sense of fear and tension. From the crow 's wings "making a sound like flat leather pieces being slapped together" to "the silky sound of corn brushing against him", these descriptions make the piece more realistic and enable the reader to put themselves into Kingshaw 's shoes. Adding to the sense of panic, Kingshaw is repeatedly said to be "sobbing and panting" and "taking in deep, desperate breaths of air", which in a literal sense shows that he is afraid. Alliteration is also used with 'deep, desperate ' which in a way creates a heaving sound when read, tying into the idea of 'desperate '.

In the story “Atoms of Sound” they explain the many noises heard during the day and throughout the night. During the day many loud noises are heard. You can hear the dogs barking wildly while they are awake. With their tails wagging, showing their excitement to see you.

The peculiar conditions—the sky is cloudless and sunless—is also mentioned numerous times after the car accident creating another symbol within the story for the readers to pay attention too. The Misfit mentions that there wasn 't “a cloud in the sky. Don 't see no sun but don 't see no cloud neither" (363.) This unusual sky is also mentioned by the narrator after the grandmother was shot. The Misfit’s henchmen, Hiram and Bobby Lee, had returned from the woods and “stood over the ditch, looking down at the grandmother who half sat and half lay in a puddle of blood with her legs crossed under her like a child 's and her face smiling up at the cloudless sky.”

In the short story, A Sound of Thunder, by Ray Bradbury, it creates an intense tone for the reader. An example of this intense tone is “terrible scream”. This shows us that when The Monster lets out this sound, it’s so loud and vile, to where we can almost hear it in our heads. We can sense that Bradbury wants us to picture what this scream sounded like, to almost feel like we, the readers, were actually there experiencing it. And he wants us to have a better idea of what's happening in the story.

The reader feels moved in a multiple directions, confused as to what that is . The noises have already been used in the past and after that cry the chapter end in a clif hanger with reference to another already known noise ' the pony

In the beginning of the story, a description of the setting is presented: “The hills across the valley of the Ebro were long and white. On this side there was no shade and no trees and the station was between

Crackle, crackle, stomp. These are the sounds the men heard as they realized they were trapped in the monster’s lair. In the stories of Homer’s The Odyssey and that of the Coen Brothers’ O’ Brother, Where Art Thou, there are different depictions of one of the worlds most well known monsters, the Cyclops. The relations between a preacher and a horrible Cyclops may seem like a huge stretch.

There was no chattering or chirping of birds; no growling of bears and no chuckling of contented otters; instead, the clearing lay desolate and still, as though it never wished to be turned into day. The only occupants were rodents and spiders who had set their home in the dank, forgotten shack. From its base, dead, brown grass reached out, all the way to the edge of the tree-line, unable to survive in the perished, infertile soil that made up the foundations of the house. Bird houses and feeders swung still from the once growing apple trees, in the back garden, consigned to a life of
