WORLD BUILDING GROUP 3 by Abby DAVEY https://padlet.com/abby_davey1/umwiui23azjo In order to start thinking about Ray Bradbury's style of writing and to practice our skills of world building, your bookclub group will collate a series of images, phrases and single words that could be used to create a world that would exist in a Bradbury novel or short story. You can use language you locate in his short stories, or imaginative, inferred language that you come up with as a group. Post your findings in the Padlet with the usual rules (name, appropriateness, not too long!). en-us 2018-10-20 07:44:43 UTC 2023-01-28 06:56:58 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Simplehouse.png Surpreet chocolatelover25 https://padlet.com/abby_davey1/umwiui23azjo/wish/295251452  - Weather/season and time of year is often used to set the scene, but it also plays a big part in foreshadowing future events. 
Examples - Using Autumn to foreshadow and symbolise death and change.
Using October (Halloween, a tradition relating to death, spirits etc.) to convey the feeling that something right is not going on.]]> 2018-10-21 23:55:26 UTC https://padlet.com/abby_davey1/umwiui23azjo/wish/295251452 George https://padlet.com/abby_davey1/umwiui23azjo/wish/295251468 hidden ominus themes
- rich descriptions of colour, setting, emotion
- underlying ideas of misuse]]> 2018-10-21 23:55:34 UTC https://padlet.com/abby_davey1/umwiui23azjo/wish/295251468 Lucas lucas_bian https://padlet.com/abby_davey1/umwiui23azjo/wish/295251546 Short descriptions that can convey and infer multiple messages.

Example: Warm Two-Storey house

Subtle word choices that have a second, possible meaning that is  ominous.

Example: instead of saying something is "bright", Bradbury could use "glaring" Bright is not usually something that is painful to look at whereas glaring is.

Another example would be "syrupy" instead of "sweet' as syrupy could refer to sickly sweet. ]]> 2018-10-21 23:56:21 UTC https://padlet.com/abby_davey1/umwiui23azjo/wish/295251546 Lucas lucas_bian https://padlet.com/abby_davey1/umwiui23azjo/wish/295251750 A city shrouded in fog/mist. The sun's rays and light are dimmed and only the vague outlines of buildings can be seen.

Darkness is setting in...]]> 2018-10-21 23:58:19 UTC https://padlet.com/abby_davey1/umwiui23azjo/wish/295251750 George Hewett https://padlet.com/abby_davey1/umwiui23azjo/wish/295251998

creepy basement, october game vibes

For example, in the october game, the characters that are used the most in the plot of the story, aka the parents of the many children playing the game, the daughter, the father, the mother, they all display qualities that are similar to the weather that follows with autumn. Autumn describes
-death and ignorance
-guilt

The key word being FORESHADOW. He foreshadows darkness in the story through the atmosphere created by the weather/seasons. ]]> 2018-10-22 00:07:41 UTC https://padlet.com/abby_davey1/umwiui23azjo/wish/295252934 George https://padlet.com/abby_davey1/umwiui23azjo/wish/295253386 Bradbury uses mellow colours like browns and black and whites a lot throughout his texts, this links often with the plot events and characters actions, feelings]]> 2018-10-22 00:10:34 UTC https://padlet.com/abby_davey1/umwiui23azjo/wish/295253386 Lucas lucas_bian https://padlet.com/abby_davey1/umwiui23azjo/wish/295253744 Personification

Bradbury would give a storm life and personality by asking what language it speaks or similar questions. This suggests that the storm, something that is usually negative, is intelligent, making it even more dangerous and sinister]]> 2018-10-22 00:13:16 UTC https://padlet.com/abby_davey1/umwiui23azjo/wish/295253744 Surpreet chocolatelover25 https://padlet.com/abby_davey1/umwiui23azjo/wish/295775602 Bradbury also takes events happening in real life, then predicts what may happen in the future, creating a story set in a world where things are vastly different. ]]> 2018-10-23 03:49:16 UTC https://padlet.com/abby_davey1/umwiui23azjo/wish/295775602 LUc45 lucas_bian https://padlet.com/abby_davey1/umwiui23azjo/wish/295775733 Bradbury uses foreshadowing a lot in his works. He does it in a clever way to keep the readers guessing and leads them away from what will happen. He then surprises the readers with the truth, which often has to be inferred. Because this truth has to be inferred, it means that there may be multiple possibilities.

The man was a genius!]]> 2018-10-23 03:50:11 UTC https://padlet.com/abby_davey1/umwiui23azjo/wish/295775733
