In the novel In The Wild Light, Jeff Zentner uses compare and contrast to detail before he was sick and after he was sick. "He wasn't sick then.  Later, when he was, I understood that when he said Don't nobody live forever when accepting another piece of his sister Betsy's chess pie,that wasn't just a phrase he used. That was when he still had his appetite. Now his appetite has moved to his lungs,which are always starved for air. His breathing has the keening note of the wind blowing over something sharp. It's always there,which means he has something sharp inside him. People can't live long with sharp things in them" (Zentner 3-4).

In the novel, In the Wild Light, by Jeff Zentner, he uses tone. In his novel he stated, "My papaw pulled the engine out of his Chevy pickup and took it apart, letting me help him rebuild it. He laid the pieces out- reeking of dark oil and scorched steel- on a torn and greasy sheet, like the bones of an unearthed dinosaur" (Zentner, 3). This tone represents him saying without a complete engine with all of its parts, there is nothing. An engine can't start without all of the pieces connected, he referred to this as an unearthed dinosaur. An unearthed dinosaur has to develop body parts, its lungs, the heart, the brain and more. If the body parts don't develop right then most likely the dinosaur won't live and if the dinosaur is born, the dinosaur won't age very long. An engine will only run if everything is placed correctly and set in the places it should be, a dinosaur will only live for a long time if they develop their body parts, heart and brain properly. Zentner also stated the smell of the engine when the pieces got taken apart. He cited," Reeking of dark oil and scorched steel- on a torn and greasy sheet" (Zentner, 3). Zentner is describing how his papaw knew something was wrong with the engine when he took it apart, an engine shouldn't reek a smell of dark oil and scorched steel, just like a dinosaur shouldn't be born without accurate health and full development body parts.

Jeff Zentner, the author of In the Wild Light, uses an engine to represent life. He did this by using a simile, "He laid the pieces out-reeking of dark oil and scorched steel-on a torn and greasy sheet, like the bones of an unearthed dinosaur." ( Zentner 4 ) Zentner explained that each piece contributed to making the engine run. As he previously described it to the bones of an unearthed dinosaur, an engine needs all its "bones" to function correctly, as does a dinosaur.

In the novel In the Wild Light, the author, Jeff Zentner uses simile several times such as ¨There are as many tinges of understanding as there are hues of green in a forest¨(3). In the paragraph before this quote was stated he had mentioned how his friend had told him that the human eye can depict more green hues than it can in any other color. This qoute shows that there can be hundreds of different ways of understanding.

In chapter one of In the Wild Light by Jeff Zenter, there are similes that are used in the chapter that help us visualize what is happening or to compare one thing to another to help us understand what the author is trying to say. For example, when the narrator introduces the topic of the different ways to understand things, they say that "There are as many tinges of understanding as there are hues of green in the forest" (Zentner 3). This simile is comparing the many kinds of understanding to all the shades of green that we can see. This simile helps us to understand that just like how there are many shades of green, there are many ways that people can understand different things. A simile that paints us a great image of the scene that we read is, "He laid the pieces out-reeking of dark oil and scorched steel-on a torn and greasy sheet, like the bones of an unearthed dinosaur" (Zentner 3). This simile gives us a clear picture in our heads about what the engine looked like as it laid it on the sheet. We can easily imagine what this workspace looked like, thanks to Jeff Zentner's simile. There is also a great description of what the engine smelled like, but that's not a part of the simile. That's just a wonderful description.

Zentner, in his novel In the Wild Light, uses a simile ¨How Delaney Doyle´s mind works, for example. trying to form a coherent thought in a dream¨ (Zentner 7). The author uses this because he is trying to explain how Deleneys mind works differently in a way that makes sense to her but not to somebody else. So it compares a dream to a coherent thought because in dreams you can´t really think coherently.

In the novel, In the Wild Light by Jeff Zentner, Zentner uses craft work in the form of similes. One example of this is when the author mentions rebuilding his papaw's truck with him. He mentions, "He laid the pieces out-reeking of dark oil and scorches steel-on a torn and greasy sheet, like the bones of an unearthed dinosaur" (Zentner 3). His Pawpaw then later goes on to explain that every piece and part is contributed to make the engine run, such as part of the body working together to provide a healthy life.

In his novel In the Wild Light, Zentner uses figurative language to convey senses of understanding. In paragraph 8, Zentner states, "Trying to comprehend it is like trying to form a coherent thought in a dream. Every time you think you're there, it blurs" (Zentner 4). He uses this simile to illustrate the difference between his own mind and his friend, Delaney's. Later, Zentner asks a rhetorical question, "How do you tell someone what salt tastes like? Sometimes you just know the things you know" (Zentner 4). Zentner's use of figurative language creates a visual tone for the reader and makes his novel more engaging.

In the novel In the Wild Light, Jeff Zentner uses similes to compare different elements within the story. The first example is when Zentner compared the nature of the truck parts to dinosaur fossils, "He laid the pieces out-reeking of dark oil and scorched steel-on a torn and greasy sheet, like the bones of an unearthed dinosaur"(Zentner 3). Another example of this was when she compares the motions of the river to an actual living thing, "Like how the Pigeon River moves and pulses like a living creature..." (Zentner 6). So essentially she uses similies as a way to compare two completely different things, but somehow making it revelant to the actual story.

In the passage, In the Wild Light, Jeff Zentner provides us with a lot of imagery. One specific kind of imagery is this sentence, ¨Or how sometimes you can stand in a quiet parking lot on a hot afternoon and perfectly envension what it would have looked like there before humankind existed." This is a perfect example of how Zentner is using specific words like ¨ quiet ¨, ¨ hot afternoon ¨, and ¨ parking lot¨ to create an image inside of the readers head. It allows the reader to envision what it would be like for themselves to be standing there. It keeps them interested in the story especially if it relates back to them or has them involved.

From the Wild Light the author uses a deep and dark tone to give the feeling of nothing making sense and not understanding everything. In the passage he wrote " The logic of the wind. Signs and symbols. AN invisible order to the world. Complex things make sense to her and simple things dont" (Zenter 4) This gives a tone of that she doesnt understand everything and that simple things dont make sense to her . She also says the complictaed things makes sense to her but the simple doesnt. i thinks that that the authit making the passage sound complictaed about all the things shes does t underdstand.

In his novel In The Wild Light,I can decipher that Jeff Zentner uses a  simile as one of his craft moves. An example is "Like how the Pigeon River moves and pulses like a living creature"(Zentner 4).

# data[].attributes.body
The author of In the Wild Light uses an abundance of figurative language, especially similes. Jeff Zentner wrote, "Like how the Pigeon River moves and pulses like a living creature" (4). Zentner uses this simile to describe how the Pigeon River's water flows and splashes, much like a moving and breathing animal he compares it to. Another example would be, "Trying to comprehend it is like trying to form a coherent thought in a dream" (Zenter 4). In this simile, Zenter compares Doyle's thought process and how it's hard to think in a dream. Trying to understand the way she thinks leaves the character with a fogged and confused mind. The author continues to write more similes and other figurative language throughout the novel, In the Wild Light.

Zenter, in the novel "In the Wild Light, uses the engine to represent living beings. He does this by using a simile. The greasy parts lay on the ground a pile of bones. "He laid the pieces out-reeking of dark oil and scorched steel-on a torn and greasy sheet, like the bones of an unearthed dinosaur"(Zenter 3). The father went on to explain that the engine cannot run if one of the pieces goes bad just like animals when they get sick if one part of the body gives out you cannot live/run like the engine.

Jeff Zentner, the author of In the Wild Light, uses different types of craft moves in his book. One of the many craft moves I was able to decipher was a simile. He is able to use this simile by writing, "There are many tinges of understanding as there are hues of green in a forest" (Zentner 3). In the previous paragraph, he speaks on how the human eye is able to tell apart many different shades of green due to human adaptation to survival and this is relevant to the quote I used because it shows how different others can understand a topic from one person to the next. As there are many shades of green, there are many different ways for someone to understand a topic. One may have to receive a verbal explanation while another may need to read it on paper, but that list of understanding goes on and on as do the shade of green.
