Figurative Language In Young Lee

Having weird pets such as a snake, spider, or iguana can be an enormous amount of fun but having a deer as a pet is a completely different story. The yearling is a novel about a boy who befriends a deer and takes it in as a pet. Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings won a Pulitzer Prize for her novel The Yearling in 1939 for her use of syntax, figurative language, and sensory details.

The vivid imagery incorporated throughout “The Gift” is characteristic of Li-Young Lee’s writing style. Li-Young Lee specifically portrays vivid imagery through the use of metaphors. For instance, in the poem, Li-Young Lee states that his father’s voice was “a well of dark water, a prayer.” This metaphor used by Li-Young Lee allows readers to vividly picture the type of man his father was. By comparing his father’s voice to “dark water,” the poet illustrates the gentleness of his father. This is because the sound of water tends to bring peace and comfort to those who listen. Similar to water, the sound of his father’s voice radiated with

Many different forms of figurative language I used throughout the story to exhilarate the irony. The opening description of Ethan is full of ironic expressions. Figurative language is also used to the describe reactions to events in the story. The author is very descriptive in this short story. The use of figurative language aids in description of events, the setting, mood, and characters’ appearance and response. Edith Wharton, the author, use of literary devices allows the story to come alive and to also require the reader to think deeply about the true meanings.

Sue Monk Kidd’s style and her use of figurative language clearly depicts T-Ray of a type of belligerent and animalistic human.

The speaker did a very good job with his speech. His speech I believe is more informative, because he is describing his recent experience with appendicitis. The area that I liked most about his speech was his introduction. He had a very good hooked that got a lot of people’s attention including my own. He scared me for a moment, because he made everybody believe that he was going to show everybody his appendix that he just had removed from his body. Instead he showed the appendix of a book. Also, as he presented his speech he expressed what happened to him with very personal information. This information helped him establish his credibility. He presented his speech very well and sounded very confident. However, there were a few brief pauses

No matter what lifestyle you’re born into you can still be a better person. Some people are born into terrible lives and some lives become worse. In The Outsiders by S.E. Hilton most of the gang’s lives become worse. The gang faces the other gang and murder takes over gang member’s lives. They face other gang’s and the police. They even face the chance of death and their own families not caring. However, even with all of these issues so to speak, the gang still sticks together and lives their same lifestyle. In The Outsiders the author uses figurative language, both sides of the characters, and a lot of description to show how the characters still push on through tough times.

The poem's narrative is told from the point of view of a child, as remembered by an adult, although this fact is not introduced into the poem until line nine. For the first two stanzas we are left in doubt as to when the incident took place, and the poet's age at the time it happened. This stops the poem tugging at the heart-strings too early and allows the introduction of the poet's age to be handled in the more matter of fact style set up by the first two stanzas.

The hitherto mentioned structure of the poem creates an impression of his vision becoming clearer over the course of the poem. The repeated phrase “Truth is…” paired with “Even this is not accurate. Let me begin again:…” (Lee, 15) In addition, he seems to come to his senses with reality throughout the progression of the poem.

In Native Son by Richard Weight, Wright characterizes Bigger through his use of simile and repetition to convey a fierce tone.

At the age of 11, Rachel is expected to be either in 5th or 6th grade. Being a teacher, from experience in this age, children are usually on the bridge of being the sweet kid, who puts an apple on their favorite teachers desk, and learning retaliation with other negative actions from their peers. On this bridge, Rachel will be found somewhere in the middle. In other words, her actions and choice of diction showcase different ages; repetitively, Rachel reflects that she does not “feel” eleven. For example, her figurative language consists of her cries imitating animal noises and her head hurting because of drinking milk too fast. On the other hand, she does not act too young because this student shows clear distaste for certain student by calling

The author uses figurative language to describe to the reader how the characters are feeling, by giving multiple actions and examples in the author’s writing. “A final, soaking farewell was let go of, and they turned and left the cemetery, looking back several times.” (Page 24.) This evidence supports my answer by giving a setting of the “soaking farewell,” showing how gloomy it was and the passage describe how Liesel didn’t want to let go of her brother.

AJR’s song “Weak”,addresses the struggles of battling temptations and coming to terms with them. The song portrays a young man fighting to gain control over his habits, but inability giving in, convincing himself there's nothing wrong with being weak. Consequently the speaker begins to associate love and joy to submitting to his temptations. “Weak” makes use of many types of figurative language to convey this theme of giving in to temptations.

It is written in three stanzas. The effect of only having three long stanzas is to separate her individual memories of her family. This compartmentalizes her points in the minds of the reader, which strengthens the bonds of her complex memories and music. The shift after line 40 also draws the reader’s attention to her main message she is making. The shift adds complexity to the poem and shows her devotion to her father’s memory.

Language and its influence in society is often overlooked, but it is the basis of communication. Samuel Delany explores this concept in his work of science fiction, Babel-17. Within Babel-17, Delany uses the character Rydra Wong to demonstrate the impact of language on a political level, social level and the individual level showing symbolic significance of the language. He accomplishes this by demonstrating the affects of this language and integrating these aspects with how thoughts are perceived to challenge the reader’s own perception of identity. Delany’s uses the implications of learning the language of Babel-17 to alter the political setting in this work and build a foundation of the influence of language.
