Explanation:
Movie: Ransom Riggs, an American filmmaker and writer, first got his idea for a novel with pictures when he randomly ran across some sinister-looking vintage photos. Ransom recalls, “[the photos] suggest stories even though you don’t know who the people are or exactly when they were taken” (Staskiewicz 1). Based off the photos, he began a story and the more he wrote, the more inherent it became that he searched for more. He wound up combing swap meets and flea markets for evocative photos that he felt deserved a spot in his novel. With 349 pages of a storyline that defies categorization, characters that are eerily intriguing, and eye-catching, eccentric, archaic photographs, Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children is a quirky and noteworthy young adult novel.Category, or genre, is what gives a novel a sense of belonging in the literary world. Category is what separates books into groups so that readers may identify a favorite and select other novels that are ideally the same. Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children is a whole other category by itself. S.G.B., in Audiofile Magazine, writes, “In addition to creating one of the best titles for a young person’s book in recent memory, Riggs has also produced a clever and unusual first-person story of time travel” (60). In addition to time travel – or the time continuum in which Sept. 3, 1940 plays over and over again – as an element of the storyline, the novel also introduces the wildest of characters. Majorie Kehe – in the Christian Science Monitor – says, “Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children [is] where a handful of the world’s neglected and forgotten “peculiar” Fable: "A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing"
One should avoid "judging a book by its cover" because the outward appearance may sometimes be quite deceptive and not show the true colours of a newly-met person.
It was more or less two years ago when I got to know Rita. At first glance, she seemed to be very nice. I was largely sympathetic to her. Not only was she dressed neatly and smartly, but she was also sparkling with wit and self-confidence. Unfortunately, it wasn't long that she showed her true self.
At first, she made a very good impression on me. Although she wasn't too impressive in the looks department, she seemed to be well-groomed and amiable. She was rather short and on the chubby side, with wide shoulders and large round hips. Rita had blonde slightly streaked hair tied in a ponytail and a long fringe covering her high forehead. A fair complexion, round face and rosy cheeks made her a real picture of health. Some green eyeshadow put on her eyelids went well with her big piercing hazel eyes, long eyelashes and pencil-thin eyebrows. A snub nose and slightly protruding ears, with flattering silver earrings in them, brightened up her face and made her look a bit frivolous. Under her cherry lips there was a beauty spot which, the opposite, gave her some dignity. On the whole, Rita projected herself as a very charming and friendly girl.
Neat style and a good taste was also noticeable in the selection of her clothes. She was dressed quite smartly and fashionably. She wore loose black corduroys, which made her look slimmer, and white crisp shirt with long sleeves. On top she put reddish cardigan. Around her neck, she wore silver chain matching her bracelet and a large diamond ring glittering on her finger. Red high-heeled shoes completed her outfit.THIS IS NOT MINE!
