, FIRST ESSAY

Children's literature is a dynamic landscape that relies on the skilful use of literary
devices to engage young readers and evoke emotional responses. This essay
delves into the excerpt from "How to Train your Dragon" by Cressida Cowell,
examining the intricate interplay of literary devices such as imagery, figurative
language, hyperbole, alliteration, assonance, consonance, rhythm, tone, and simile,
diction and onomatopia. we will explore how these devices contribute to the
immersive and captivating nature of children's literature. Additionally, we will discuss
strategies for teaching students about literary devices and their importance in
reading and analysing literature using “How to Train your Dragon" by Cressida
Cowell
Cowell's narrative unfolds with a rich tapestry of imagery that transports young
readers to the fantastical world of Berk. The phrase "wild and windy isle" immediately
conjures vivid mental images, setting the stage for an immersive reading experience.
This visual language allows children to connect with the story on a sensory level,
feeling the wind on their faces and hearing the howl of the wind through the words. In
a classroom setting, teachers can encourage students to close their eyes and
imagine the wild and windy isle, fostering an appreciation for the power of descriptive
language and how it creates a vibrant reading experience.
Figurative language is a literary device that transcends literal meanings to create
vivid and imaginative expressions. In Cressida Cowell's "How to Train Your Dragon,"
figurative language emerges as a key element, adding depth and nuance to the
narrative. One notable example is the protagonist's elaborate name, "Hiccup
Horrendous Haddock the Third." This serves as a metaphor, reflecting Hiccup's
perceived inadequacy and the challenges he faces. The metaphorical weight of
Hiccup's name encapsulates the overarching theme of self-discovery and resilience,
resonating with young readers who may grapple with their own insecurities.
Additionally, the use of simile is evident when Hiccup's voice is described as being
"as quiet as insect wings" when speaking to Joselle. This comparison not only
creates a vivid image but also emphasizes the subtlety of Hiccup's voice,
showcasing the nuanced emotional landscape within the story. Such instances of
figurative language elevate the storytelling, making it accessible and engaging for
young readers while conveying deeper layers of meaning.
Additionally, the use of metaphorical language in "Words of Stone" by Kevin Henkes
( TB PG125) can be introduced to illustrate how figurative language enriches
storytelling. By exploring metaphors, students learn to appreciate the layers of
meaning embedded in words, enhancing their interpretative skills.


The strategic use of hyperbole adds a layer of humour to Cowell's passage. Joselle's
melodramatic speech exaggerates the smallness of a child's size, creating a light-
hearted and amusing tone. This exaggerated language resonates with young
