A Instant Times: Figurative Language

In essence, the author is able to accomplish his style and language using two very critical tools used to refine his masterpiece. These tools at his hand are imagery and perspective. The author uses the first person perspective in order to give the readers insight to what is going on inside the head of the author. The writer utilizes imagery in order to feed the reader’s imagination so they can picture the environment. The final outcome is a unique form of both style and language for the reader to indulge

The writer uses a simile to highlight the significance of doubt and the barbarous consequences of the fear of speech. He or she expresses the panic of speaking and the fervent feeling of being judged. The author opens his/her mouth but cannot let the words flow swiftly which leads to desperation and frustration. His or her’s

There are a lot of imageries are applied to help readers picture a vivid character : phoenix, the protagonist in the story author described her wearing and looking When Phoenix loudly talk to herself, the readers can imagine a warm, funny, young passion lady, which we can know she is a very loving person and warm characterizes, as Angel told before.

When we are still children, running around the playground with our friends, our goals in life and what we want to be when we grow up are much different than later in life. We want to me mermaids, princesses, astronauts. When we get older though our values change. Instead of going after what our heart really wants to do, we go after the jobs that offer the biggest paycheck. Our culture’s minds have been warped and bent towards the desire to have a bigger house, a cooler car, and fancier clothes. We put what we think is right in our minds over what we truly love to do deep down in our hearts. The novel Tuesdays With Morrie by Mitch Albom, is about a sociology professor, Morrie Schwartz, who has been given his death sentence. He reconnects with his former student and current sports journalist, Mitch Albom, to try to remold his mind like soft clay to resist the pull of money and fame that today’s society provides. In this story, the author uses descriptive language, figurative language, and repetition for effect, to capture the theme that money will never

In the stories “The Treasure of Lemon Brown” by Walter Dean Myers, the author uses figurative language to help the reader understand the tone of the story.The figurative language used in this sentence is personification to show how the setting. In this event A boy named Grey Ridley was walking down a street and saw the leafs blowing, “Gusts of wind made bits of paper dance between the papers cars”. In other words this shows us that this street may be dirty, this may not be a good environment, and how bits of paper dancing around is a result of wind so it must be a cold fall weather. In addition later in the story Walter uses personification again to descriptive the mood. Grey and Lemon Brown are in a abandoned house and both of them hear a car pass by, “A car passed, its tires hissing over the wet street and it’s red tails lights glowing in the darkness.” The intention of the author was to help create the intense, creepy, and spooky mood for the reader. In

The author was very heavy in the Pathos category. He invested strongly in using stories and vivid language to get their point across to the readers. For example, in paragraph 4 the author talked about living north of New York City. Talking about how most of the vehicles people would see on the road would be an SUV or a light truck. They went on saying

For example, Jewett was saying how the tree seems to be getting longer and longer as Sylvia is going up and he stated that “it was like a great main-mast to the voyaging earth. Later, he also states that once Sylvia passed the last thorny bough and stood high in the tree top that Sylvia’s face was like a pale star. He later said that the hawks “grey feathers were as soft as moths.” This analogy could really make us, as readers, understand how soft they looked because almost everyone knows that if you touch a moth it turns into a dusty substance because of how soft they are. All of these word choices, metaphors and adjectives Jewett uses makes outstanding imagery for the reader. From the first line to the last you could picture just about everything, not only picture but feel as if you were there or in the situation. Jewett almost put an adjective in front of every noun he used, which made it stand out more. The best imagery Jewett used is when Sylvia reached the top of that tree and he said what she saw. Jewett stated that “there was a sea with the dawning sun making a golden dazzle over it, and toward the east flew two

Sometimes, authors use personification to create emotions in a reader for something they would not normally create many feelings.

is full of figurative language. Almost every device, if not all, is used to help the reader better understand the extraordinary experience that the narrator lived. One of the first things I noticed about the book was the amount of imagery that was included. Now, while imagery typically helps the reader by painting a mental picture, it seemed to have more of a hindering effect on me. I found it hard to imagine what was being described by the narrator, and the majority of the words that were being used for foreign to me. When the narrator attempted to explain his whereabouts and daily activities, I found that I was very confused. However, when I began to notice all of the similes, I quickly started to develop a better

He also uses foreshadowing, similes, personification,symbolism, and the comparison of the wild to civilization many times all the way through the book. This is how he expresses his themes in the book, which are determination and how the morals of humans are slowly changing or being

The author then uses figurative language to reveal the aesthetics in nature. For example, Figes incorporates a depressing setting in Alice’s environment because of the sadness in her life. The narrator clarifies that, “...its vibration continued, sounds going through the cool shadowy spaces, rising forward into the pale sky” (Figes 8). The author then shows that the details in the background is related to a

For example, the way he describes his hands as being "peppered with thorn pricks" (15-16) and with his description of the spoiled berries being like "A rat-grey fungus"(18-19). He uses an intense description to fully realize the image or to some degree the memory he wants the reader to picture. While his language is intense it's never forceful, it's filled with passion but in a violent manner. He conveys his experience in a romanticized manner like when he mentioned the blackberry's "flesh was sweet like thickened wine"(5-6). However, he slowly moves away from the romanticized language and into a more natural language. While his intense language doesn't fade, it changes along with the tone as the poem transitions into the moral section. It changes in terms of its purpose. In the beginning, it sets an image that would guide the reader along while in the end it more used to invoke
