Under these stars and sky I used to hear stories, but now it seemed as if it was the sky that was telling us a story as its stars fell, violently colliding with each other. The moon hid behind clouds to avoid seeing what was happening” (Beah 80).

Furthermore, the author uses personification to develop the message by making it seem like the stars can move around and cause commotion. For example, Plath says, “The stars drop silently.” (Plath 4). As a result, the author makes us think of stars as if they are people who move around and make noise, causing the audience to see stars in a different perspective. Plath also makes it seem as if the river is an uncontrollable kid by using, “But tonight they have discovered this

Indecent bodies like the sun. Stars are made up of big exploding balls of gas, mostly hydrogen and helium. The sun is similarly a star made up of huge amounts of hydrogen, undergoing a continuous nuclear reaction like a hydrogen bomb. Stars come about when vast clouds of hydrogen, helium and dust contract and collapse due to gravity. The clouds came from astronomical plasma from “The Big Bang”, but the dust comes from the supernovae of other stars.
