For example, she used figurative multiple times in the text. In line 1-2, she starts off by emphasizing the condition she is in during the extreme weather. “My hands were blistered clubs and hurt evrytime I touched something.” This suggests that she is describing her hands as unresponsive comparing them to being

The art of using linked verses in poetry is varied and each link is used differently. The different kinds of links distinguished by Basho and his many disciples are the word links, context links and scent links.

In the autobiography, biography, and memoir “A Work In Progress” by Connor Franta, the author allows his readers to understand his life, step by step, through writing his text from his point of view. By presenting his text from his point of view, it not only allows readers to understand his life, step by step, but also to feel what it was like for Connor as he prospered.
