The author is using a type of figurative language called personification. Personification is when you give human characteristics or traits to something that is non human. When the author writes, "<span>the sea licked greedy lips in the shadows." the author is giving the sea human characteristics. The sea does not actually have lips.</span>

How does the children’s book by James Clavell compare to the Jews ?
Mama L [17]

Answer:

Clavell displays this meaning when a teacher is able to convince her class that everything they have grown up knowing, family, religion, and country, has been taught to them wrong and what she believes is right.The real meaning of this is to display the concept that high government leaders do this to an uneducated society. Clavell is able to display allegory throughout the whole short story. The main theme of, The Children's Story, is that when a society begins to not question things and follow the leader, they become vulnerable. This is shown throughout the whole story. The children do not question what the teacher is saying about life, and it allows for the children to fall into her trap. In society this happens when the citizens don't question how the government acts and then leads to failure. The importance of the boy Jonny speaking up is that in order for society to cooperate as the people want, they must speak out when they think its wrong, even if its not the normal thing to do. These action where shown time and time again during The Holocaust. The people were kept quiet on what was going on inside the camps and they believed all that happened was justified because the government told them it was. The children at the time grew up with them not knowing what was really going on but just accepted it and I've seen some sad videos about them finding out what really happened, and it's truly heart wrenching.
