Anagram

LITERARY DEVICE: ANAGRAM

WHAT'S IN A NAME?

A literary endeavor needs to have a literary start -- with the name of the character and the title of the book.


An ANAGRAM is a literary device where the letters of a word are rearranged to form another word.

Anagrams add a depth to writing. They can provide commentary as well imbue mystery.

  

It is used -- in this case -- to praise the subject of the novel: Marines


REMAINS = MARINES

  

I found REMAIN to be a particularly apropos anagram.

  

Remain stirs thoughts of: endure, prevail, survive, sojourn -- all things Marines do!

A great example of an anagram in military literature is Anton Myrer naming is protagonist Sam Damon in his terrific novel Once An Eagle.  DAMON = NOMAD.  Sam was certainly a nomad -- going his own way to take care of his men being the best example.
