Lemon Brown Figurative Language

Often, an author uses figurative language to build upon the story and to create a more meaningful message. The text,“A Private Talk with Holly” uses symbolism to express the main idea that

Throughout the novel, the author Edward Bloor uses literary devices such as similes to make the readers visualize the descriptive situations in the story. These similes describe to the reader how different occurrences relate to other actions, objects, or living things.

In the story ¨Lemon Brown¨, Walter Dean Myers use figurative language to develop the characters and setting. Here is one example that he gave use “made bits of paper dance between the parked cars.” This why it helps us understand the gloomy/eerie mood of the setting- it’s a dirty neighborhood, not well populated. My second example for this story is when his Father’s words, like the distant thunder, that now echoed through the streets of Harlem.

Here are two examples of Tim Green’s great use of figurative language. “He lay back and half closed his eyes, tears turning everything into a kaleidoscope of colors,” (Green 238), and “His blond hair had begun to fade, but his face was as red as a baby’s” (Green 4).

Tim O’Brien uses several rhetorical strategies in this story. A strategy that is easily found in the story is imagery. He uses a lot of sensory details to help the reader know what it feels like in a certain situation. “Except for the laughter things were quiet,” (67) and “You hear stuff

In chapter one of the novel, Anthem, by Ayn Rand, the author incorporates figurative language to develop the characters and the setting. The first example that portrays figurative language is, “The walls are cracked and water runs upon them in thin threads without sound, black and glistening as blood.” This example uses a metaphor to compare the water on the walls to glistening blood. In return, the readers can get a visual of the rooms setting and what the walls look like. Another example from chapter one is, “Their hair was white and their faces were cracked as the clay of a dry river bed.”

For instance, in “The Scarlet Ibis”, James states “There is within me (and with sadness I have watched it in others) a knot of cruelty borne by the stream of love…” (4) By reason of Doodle being born different from Doodle’s brother, Doodle’s brother thought he could be cruel to Doodle. These examples show how figurative language gives the story “The Scarlet Ibis” a dismal tone.

In the short story “Liberty” by Julia Alvarez, the author uses figurative language to create tone of mystery and fear. In the fourth paragraph, the author writes how they were afraid; for example, when the narrator states, “On their faces when they talked of leaving there was a scared look I also couldn’t understand,” the reader is left wondering why they are so fearful. The author does this to help set the tone and mood of the story. The author also uses the characters to show the tone of the story. Mami is frightened and mean, while Papi is brave

Using figurative language helps create imagery and enhances the imagination of the readers. The use of personification allows the author to give human like characteristics to non-living things. An example within the story that displayed intense emotion was included this quote,“This set formula, spoken in a kind of lilt, would awaken loud echoes in Tzili’s soul, and their reverberations spread throughout her body” (Appelfeld, p. 275). By adding in this literary device the readers can foreshadow Tzili’s growth throughout the story and how she realizes who she is as an individual and matures into a strong and independent

Of the countless examples of figurative language in Night I have decided to perform my in-depth analysis of the following three examples dispersed throughout the book.

John Green once stated, “If you don’t imagine, nothing ever happens at all.” When the author uses Descriptive adjectives and Similes their goal is to create an image in the reader's head, because if they didn’t it would be dull, and boring. In the story “The Lemon Tree Billiard House” Cedric Yamanaka uses similes, and descriptive adjectives to describe, mood, settings, and the characters in the story.

Authors use figurative language to describe the objects and characters in the stories. In the passage “Uncle Timothy’s Ships,” by Summer Woodford, figurative language reveals the significance of the bottled ships, Woodford reveals the significance of the bottled ships by using metaphors, extended metaphors, and personification. The first piece of figurative language that Summer Woodford uses are metaphors. A metaphor is to compare two things without using like or as.

In this section of The Glass Castle, Jeannette and her family move into a house that is in desperate need of TLC, depicted by the authors use of figurative language. One example that demonstrates the use of figurative language is “The front, including a drooping porch, butter precariously into the air, supported by tall, spindly cinder-block pillars” (Walls). In this example from the passage, Walls

Figurative language is a main component in showcasing the emotions the characters reveal. An example being when the author writes “ The children huddled up to her and breathed like little calves waiting at the bars in the twilight.” This portrays the children's emotions with more emphasis and really shows how they watched everything Granny Weatherall did with precision. This type of writing really helps the reader understand what is going on within the characters and their actions. The author also displays figurative language in the way she describes how John would be in the situation of them still being together. She describes him as being more of a child, rather than taking a parent role.
