Jumanji

"A hunter from the darkest wild... makes you feel just like a child" - Alan Parrish Jumanji 1995

This quote is very interesting to me through the way it is written. It contains a great rhyme scheme as that syllable count and last to words rhyme makes it easy to read and more memorable. I think that what is most interesting about the quote is that it doesn't give to much away. Although it gets its point across its still leave a lot of mystery and isn't too descriptive. I also noticed that the use the multiple periods in the quote to build up dramatic appeal. And the way the use "you" directs it at a person and bring about a greater sense of danger.

"Better run better flee... or he will eat you from the knee"
