  3. Imagery
    "she wore no coat, her head was bare, no rubbers on her feet,
    nothing but worn-thin school clothes standing between here
    and the teeth of winter.
    i brought her in.
    sat her on a chair by the stove.
    put a mug
    the chipped one
    of warm broth in her hands."
    I can see Leanora wearing thin clothes, freezing, sitting inside at one of Sara's chairs by the stove holding an old broken mug.

  5. Love That Dog

    The words night, bright and sky, by are at the ends of the lines of the poem and they all rhyme so that would be a rhyme scheme. pg 8

  6. An additional poetic device that is in my novel is imagery. One example is "The scent of blood high on the wind, with its traces of cold, black iron, rotted earth, dying flesh, and I stagger backward as the smell, pungent and terrible, fills my nostrils." This is a good example of imagery because it appeals to smell in many ways. That is one example of an additional poetic device that was in my novel.

  11. Rhyme scheme:
    I came to be known as
    Both Tonto and Chief,
    but Thursday a flower
    gave me some relief.

    And now it is Friday,
    I long to go home.
    It's tough being noble
    when you're all alone.
    --"Who Will Tell My Brother?" page 90

    An example of imagery from the book "Tropical Secrets" is, "All over Havana shoeshine boys and candy vendors walk down the street, changing old songs into new ones." This example was found on page 109. On page 110 there is an example of onomatopoeia. "...we listen to the clip-clop of a cow's hooves...”

  15. Here is a story that's stranger than strange.
    Before we begin you may want to arrange:

    a blanket,
    a cushion,
    a comfortable seat,
    and maybe some cocoa and something to eat.

    pg 1, Zorgamazoo

    This is an example of rhyme scheme.

  17. Imagery/ symbolism
    Far From You; page 211

    From Scared to Petrified

    When the darkness faded
    and a grayish light
    filled the sky,
    we saw
    that the monster
    had grown
    to gigantic proportions
    overnight.

    IMAGERY: you really see a picture of how dark and alone they are.
    SYMBOLISM: The monster represents the snow storm.

  22. In my book I found many examples of imagery. One example is "It stings and brings tears to my eyes." This is imagery because you can imagine seeing tears and feeling the stinging from them. I found this on page 12.

  23. . . . so I put mt
    head against her chest and
    listened to her heart
    Ka-thump! Ka-thump! Ka-thump! and I wasn't

  24. Shark Girl pg. 40
    Symbolism
    "I get a whiff of air freshoner, lemon oil, the smell of home. My heart aches."
    In this example, Jane is in the hospital and when she smells lemon oil, she gets homesick because it symbolises everything in her home that is familiar like the smell of lemon oil.

  25. Rhyme scheme can be found in All the Broken Pieces. The verse is

    There is darkness on the water.
    There is darkness on the land.
    There is darkness all around us,
    but I will hold your hand.
