Your job today, is to find a paragraph or a few lines from the text that you like that ALSO contains or demonstrates some literary device. It could be imagery, alliteration, personification, or sensory language. The important part here is for you to explain to me how and why the author may have written the lines you chose in that way.
For example, if I were to write about the excerpt below (part of the same one we just read):
Stepping over the low railings into the park I head for the thick black avenue of limes and the lamplit leaves beneath. Everything seems hot and clean and dangerous and my senses are screwed to their utmost, as if someone had told me the park was full of hungry lions.
MacDonald uses alliteration and imagery to create tension and nervous energy at the beginning of her text. It almost feels like a thriller or mystery or even horror movie or show. She enters the park and an avenue of thick trees. Leaves are on the ground and MacDonald senses are heightened. She’s nervous and that makes me nervous. She compares it to feeling like the park were full of hungry lions. That paints a ridiculous picture in my head of lions roaming Central Park in New York or Piedmont Park in Atlanta or even Rabbit Hill Park in Gwinnett County. If I saw lions roaming around, I’d run for the car screaming. MacDonald is trying to create tension in her telling of this trip to the park with her hawk. She wants us to understand how difficult this is. It’s not just a stroll in the park with a pet dog. It’s night time, and she’s strolling around with a dangerous hawk. The world is unpredictable, and she has to deal with it. MacDonald could have just said that she felt nervous and it was dark outside, but this paints a picture with words and adds details that help me understand and connect with her situation.
That’s all I want. In your submission, make sure to include:
Changing the word Hawk to Duck throughout your text
The lines from H is for Hawk that you choose.
An explanation and identification of at least one literary device in your excerpt
A short (paragraph) explanation of how and why the author may have written like that
