1. Always title your blog post with the PAGE # (this will help others avoid reading spoilers).2. You will have 4 blogs- each blog will be about a quarter of the book- this second blog should be from the SECOND QUARTER of the book.3. Blogs will have 2 parts- Part 1: passage from the book Part 2: analysis of the passage.4. Don't forget to comment/interact with your peer's posts!5. You CANNOT choose the same passage as someone else- the first one to post claims it!
For your second blog, I would like you to analyze the author's use of figurative language (metaphor, simile, personification). Some writers are extremely figurative . As you read the second quarter of your novel look for the BEST example of figurative language the author uses.
In part one, write out the example of figurative language (include the surrounding text so that we can have the context of your example). If your author uses NO figurative language in their writing- instead find a passage where the author could have used figurative language Include the passage where the figurative language COULD have been.
In part two, explain why the figurative language was so effective. Think about the feelings it creates in the reader, the picture it shows, or the idea it represents. You also want to think about the figurative language IN CONTEXT. How does the figurative language work within the scope of the story? IF your author has no figurative language, explain how you would have incorporated it into the text OR talk about why his style works literally instead of figuratively.
