Time plays an important role in act 1 of the phantom tollbooth. at the beginning of the play, the clock says, " time is important, but it's what you do with it that makes it so." in an essay , explain what this reveals about the author's viewpoint. then tell how at least two characters or situations in the drama illustrate this viewpoint.

Act I of The Phantom Tollbooth plays with the concept of time. This is important in the novel, as the whole book is intended to make us think about ideas and concepts that we had previously taken for granted. In this section, the clock tells us that time is important, but mostly depending on what you do with it. This shows that the author believes that time is only relevant when we look at what we are doing with it. It also suggests that the author believes time to be relative.

One example of the author's perspective on time is the comment that he makes about seeing things differently when you are at different stages in life. "Then your head keeps changing its height and you always see things in a different way? Why, when you're fifteen things won't look at all the way they did when you were ten, and at twenty everything will change again." This shows that the author believes time to be relative, and to be an important factor when looking at the world.

Another example occurs when Milo receives a package that reads "To Milo, who has plenty of time." This shows that the author considers time to be an opportunity. Moreover, he suggest to us that the opportunity should not be wasted.

hey there

use of language is very important in order to write in a good way. each literary genre has its different exploitation of language and, therefore, many differences and similarities can emerge. shakespeare's work (romeo and juliet) is a sample of a drama. its language is full of dialogue to describe the beauty of first love in people; everything it's pink color. it briefly describes fictional scenes and situations. on the other hand, the calypso borealis, by john muirs, it's narrative essay: its language is full of descriptions to describe an experience, a real experience. hyperbole is not used as in drama genre. he falls in love with discovering a real place and his direct feelings.
