I chose this color cause it reminds me of fire and the chapter we are currently chatting about is called "Firestorm", so, yeah. This chapter has aLOT of good language arts-type, school stuff, like imagery, personification, and similes. What!? You don't know what any of that stuff is!? Well, since I'm such a nice person, I'll give you an example of each, from the book of course. First imagery, "Then a tearing noise filled the air, the crackle of dry brush inflamed, and the smell of smoke swept over Tally, bringing her suddenly and completely awake."(pg.172) Next is personifacation, "The fire was growing stronger. Fingers of it shot up the hill, leaping from one beautiful flower to another, leaving them scorched and black."(pg.172) Last but not least is a simile, "Her footsteps ignited with flame as she ran through the blackend flowers, like stabbing a poker into a slumbering fire."(pg.173) So, now you understand. PLEASE RESPOND!!! PLEASE, OH PLEASE!!
