When the characters talk, they don't speak formally or with really bad grammar. They talk like normal people would do. Kimberly writes with little figurative language. When she does though, it is relatable to the text, and easy for younger readers to understand.…

    The Ghost Of Fossil Glen Summary

    But here are three I did manage to: 1) “In shower of dirt and shale.” I think is a metaphor because it is comparing two unlike things without using the like or as. And the words that make you think it’s a metaphor is “shower of dirt and shale”. 2) “She stood behind the lunch counter, mouth clamped like an angry snapping turtle, as the children crept fearfully past.” I think this one is a simile because it’s comparing to unlike thing using the words like or as. So I knew it was a simile because it uses the words “, mouth clamped like an angry snapping…

    Similes In Devon School

    The narrator uses similes, metaphor and imagery to describe Devon. This gives us a much better understanding of the narrator’s memories that he had in Devon school. For example the narrator says “I didn’t entirely like this new glossy new surface, because it made the school look like a museum,(1)”. In this the narrator uses a simile in which he says the glossy surface makes his school appear as a museum. Another example of the narrator using figure of speech to describe Devon is when he says “ It had loomed in my memory as a huge lone spike dominating the river bank forbidding as an artillery piece”(13). In this instance the narrator simile to describe the tree he thought he was looking for by calling it a forbidding piece of artillery. This means that the Narrator had a crucial connection with that tree.…

    To Kill A Mockingbird Figurative Language

    “Don’t blame me when he gauges your eyes out” said Jem when introducing the Radley house to Dill. This shows how the town is scared of the Radley family although they don’t know much about them.

    Joy Harjo Poem

    Comparisons with metaphors or similes are prevalent when drawing the connection with something real to an abstract idea, and this then creates a sense of intensified beauty. The line “Where trouble melts like lemon drops” is a key example of this concept (Kamakawiwo’ole line 11). Kamakawiwo’ole takes the idea of trouble and worry, and allows it to beautifully flow into the idea of a lemon candy. Similarly, Harjo’s line “Remember the plants, trees, animal life who all have their / tribes, their families, their histories, too. Talk to them, / listen to them. They are alive poems” provides the comparison of nature, to poems. Both of which share their own sense of beauty, but is shown in different ways, thus making them perfect subjects to compare. In addition, the authors use the strategy of repetition to emphasize and almost exaggerate their point. For example, the word “remember” is repeated sixteen times throughout the twenty six line poem, and the chorus of “Somewhere” is repeated a total of two times. One article writes, “Lyrics depend heavily on repeated content, usually refrains or choruses. The development of ideas must take account of the repeated sections, and in the ideal case, transform or deepen the meaning of that same content each time we hear it” (Lyric Writing V. Poetry). This is saying that the use of repetition, in either case,…

    Lord Of The Flies Figurative Language Analysis

    This passage shows the reader that the “beast” wasn’t something they could just get rid of by haunting and killing it. The “Lord of the Flies” or the beast, represents human nature and the evil, savagery, violence etc. that’s inside of us. William Goulding wrote this book to show the readers that we, human beings are known to be savages by nature. In other words, humans tend to act inhumane sometimes when it comes to surviving or for any other reason. For example, Jack made fun of piggy and the other boys laughed, that is a sign of inhumanity or when in chapter 9 the boys killed Simon thinking he was the beast. This passage has three literary elements. Figurative Language was the most obvious one, due to the fact that Simon was having a conversation…

    Of Mice And Men Figurative Language

    The book Of Mice And Men by John Steinbeck is a open and free thinking book, it's one of those books that makes you laugh and and makes you think a lot about it. This is all because of the figurative language and the protagonist of the story. Lennie the protagonist, is one of the most interesting characters that I've ever read of, he is like a small child that always needs help, and always looking for tiny and soft things to touch. It's one of the characters that can't be trusted by its own because if someone do, he will finish in trouble, but i feel that he is one of the most kindest character of most of the books i've read even doe sometimes he does not mean to do a wrong thing. This are some of the quotes of the book that tells you how is…

    Game Over Figurative Language Essay

    “Racquets featuring strings strung across an oval frame were first used to play tennis-like games in the 15th century. Prior to this time ball players had used their bare hands, custom-made gloves or rope wrapped around their hands to strike the ball”(betHQ). Although Ryan, the main character in the story “Game Over”, might of liked it better using his hands judging by how inaccurate he is with a tennis racket. “Game Over” and “Girl Can’t Dance” are similar and different in many ways. The two ways this essay will be describing is how their theme is similar and how the figurative language in the two stories is used for different reasons.…
