Metaphors Matter

[(Anonymous)]

A lot of good writing happens between the lines. In the metaphors, the imagery, the word choices... In the English language, the first thing we think of for pearls is "luxury, morality, purity" and for coal "dirty, worthless, immoral". Fancy justification of the worthlessness of pearls aside, if every line in your book DEMONSTRATES the value of a perl, and how morally corrupt "coals" are... you're missing the point of your own clever value-inversion. U_U

It's hard not to go at this book with an editing-pen.

Honestly, books (movies, etc.) don't exist in the vacuum of their own worlds. You can't take terms and actions with such a loaded history and act as if they don't carry the same weight in your story. Especially when that "history" isn't so long ago anyway. When I first heard of the books, I thought it was one of these, "people don't even know what it was like before" situations. Kind of like The Hunger Games.

But Eden apparently spends most of her time looking at pictures of white people on the beach, going all, "Hahhh, if only I had been born during that time."
