The boys huddled them self together and sought the friendly companionship of the Fire. The fire was was friendly because they were cold

“A faint moan came sighing through the branches the branches of the forest,” (126)

This is describing the wind coming from the forest 🌳. This is an example of personification because it is saying something only a human can do. I thought this piece of descriptive language because it describes the wind without saying it

# data[].attributes.body
“Presently there came a quivering glow that vaguely revealed the foliage for a moment and then vanished”
This is a good line because it is very descriptive when it comes to lightning.

# data[].attributes.body
Now a weird flash came. Lightning

# data[].attributes.body
"A furious blast roared
through the trees, making
everything sing as it went.
(126-127)

This describes the
wind and how aggressive it
was. This is showing
personification because it is
saying that the wind is
singing.

# data[].attributes.body
“A weird flash turned night into day”(126)

This shows how the lighting storm lit up the sky and it was descriptive because it described how light it was

# data[].attributes.body
My favorite is in Chapter 17 where Mark Twain was narrating the lighting my favorite passage is “under the ceaseless configurations of lightning that flamed in the skies”. This was the best descriptive sentence to clarify lightning in my opinion.

# data[].attributes.body
“a qui evening glow that vaguely revealed the foliage for a moment and then vanished.”

This is the best line because Tom was being very descriptive and detailed in this line. You can really visualize this scene And that the thunder appeared then faded.

# data[].attributes.body
“The boys cried out to each other, but the roaring wind and the booming thunder blast drowned their voices utterly”.(127)

This is a good example of Twains Descriptive language because it describes what the wind sounds like and how the thunder sounds.

# data[].attributes.body
“One blinding flash after another came, and peal on peal of deafening thunder” this is obvious describing lightning because it says one blinding flash after another came, which when lightning goes in the air flashes spark in the air and it even used the word thunder in the text

# data[].attributes.body
thing sing as it went. One blinding flash after another
came, and peal on peal of deafening thunder. And now a
drenching rain poured down, and the rising hurricane
drove it in sheets along the ground. This show how the storm is really bad and it shows how the thunder is really bad.

# data[].attributes.body
“ a weird flash turned night into day,”(126)

I think this is the best line and most descriptive because I like the way Mark Twain described thunder as something turning the sky from night to day and I think it was very creative

# data[].attributes.body
"A furious blast roared
through the trees, making
everything sing as it went,
(126).”This quote describes the
thunder. It is giving the trees a human
act of singing. Even thoughit it was just really loud
thunder

# data[].attributes.body
"The a faint moan came signing through the branches of the forest.(126)

I chose this one because I really feel it has the best description, it personification is what he’s doing to the forest.

# data[].attributes.body
“The storm culminated in one matchless effort that seemed likely to tear the island to pieces, burn it up, drown it to the treetops, blow it away and deafen every creature in it, all at one and the same moment,” (127). I chose this quote because it’s very descriptive and it’s a hyperbole, meaning that it’s an exaggeration and I think it was very well written. This quote really helps us picture how intense the storm was. It’s also personification because the storm itself can’t literally tear the island up. I also really like how this quote is talking about everything the storm does/has, like the wind, rain, lightning, etc because it shows how powerful the storm is.

# data[].attributes.body
“A deep peal of thunder went rolling and tumbling down the heavens, and lost itself in sullen rumblings in the distance,” (126). I chose this line because it shows how there was a loud clap of thunder, and it shows how it quietly went about and how it slowly got quieter without actually just saying that it got quieter. This is an example of personification.

# data[].attributes.body
“Under the ceaseless conflagrations of lightnings that
flamed in the skies, everything below stood out in
clean-cut and shadowless distinctness;”. (127) This part of the text has so many metaphors. It describes the scene three big times compared to something else and makes sense. This is cool and shows descriptive language.

# data[].attributes.body
“Then a faint moan came sighing through the branches of the forest, and the boys felt a fleeting breath upon their cheeks, and shuddered with the fancy that the Spirit of the Night had gone by.” This personifies the wind making it able to moan and breath and goes into greater detail, for example, it said branches of the forest instead of trees. It makes it very descriptive.

# data[].attributes.body
“-the unflagging thunderpeals came now in earsplitting explosive bursts, keen and sharp, and unspeakably appalling. The storm culminated in one matchless effort that seemed likely to tear the idleness to pieces, burn it up, drown it to the treetops, blow it away and deafen every creature in it, all at one and the same moment.”(127).

I chose this quote because it describes really descriptively how big the storm was, as well as hyperboles because it exaggerated how the storm seemed like it was going to “tear the island apart and drown it to the treetops”.

# data[].attributes.body
“A furious blast roared through the trees, making everything sing as it went,” (126).

This quote describes the thunder and it is personification because it is giving the trees a human act of singing. Even though it it was just really loud thunder.

# data[].attributes.body
There was a lot of amazing descriptive language in this text, but if I had to choose one, it would be this: “A deep peal of thunder went rolling and tumbling down the heavens, and lost itself in sudden rumblings in the distance,” (126).  I chose this quote because it has personification, since thunder can’t roll or tumble.  Mark Twain was emphasizing that the thunder was so high that it was acting like this in the heavens.

# data[].attributes.body
‘“…Ceaseless conflagrations of lightning that flamed in the sky, (127).”’ This is one of the BEST examples of Mark Twains descriptive language. It really shows shows how big the lightning is to the storm. It really shows the description and effort Mark put into the lightning to make us vision it ourselves. This uses imagery to really help us see it.

# data[].attributes.body
My favorite quote is a personification that describes thunder. “A deep peal of thunder went rolling and tumbling down the heavens,” (126). This is my favorite because of how descriptive and different it is. It’s a personification because thunder can’t actually tumble and roll.

# data[].attributes.body
"The a faint moan came signing through the branches of the forest," (126). This is personification because it personifies the thunder as moaning and singing. In this sentence, it is describing how the early thunder (of the storm) sounded like like.

# data[].attributes.body
“A furious blast roared through the trees, making everything sing as it went.”(126-127)
I chose this because it shows a definition of personification by stating everything sang, which is mostly a human act. This also shows how powerful the storm was and the strong capability it had.

# data[].attributes.body
“The boys cried out to each other, but the roaring wind and the booming thunder blasts drowned their voices utterly.”

I chose this sentence because it shows how loud and obnoxious the storm was, enough to “drown” their voices utterly. This is a great use of personification to portray the characteristics of the storm.

# data[].attributes.body
“…and the boys felt a fleeting breath upon their cheeks,…” (126)

I think this quote is most descriptive because it describes how the wind feels on the boys cheeks. It also personified the wind by saying “fleeting breath” because wind can not take a breath, so it is personifying saying it can breathe and it helps me imagine how the wind feels.

# data[].attributes.body
“The boys cried out to each other, but the roaring wind and the booming thunder- blasts drowned their voices utterly,”(127). I chose this quote because it shows how loud, violent, and quick the storm was.

# data[].attributes.body
“A faint moan came”(126). This represents personification and it describes the thunder and how it is slowly moaning and groaning it’s way to Tom as if the storm is angry.

# data[].attributes.body
‘A furious blast roared through the trees, making everything sing as it went’ (126&127).

I chose this quote because it is very descriptive and uses personification to describe weather which is very creative and the words are very specific.

# data[].attributes.body
“A furious blast roared through the trees” (126). This describes how strong the wind was and how much it affected the trees. This is an example of a personification because the wind “roars” which is a human quality that natural things cant do.

# data[].attributes.body
“And it showed three hits startled faces,too. A deep peal of thunder went rolling and tumbling down the heavens and lost itself in sullen rumblings in the distance.”(126)

This quote represents personification because thinner can’t actually roll anywhere and he’s giving a human ability to something that doesn’t have them.

# data[].attributes.body
“One blinding flash after another came, and peal on peal of deafening thunder. And now a drenching rain poured down, and the rising hurricane drove it in sheets along the ground.”

I chose these lines from the text because it shows how intense the storm was and how it got worse and worse. This shows imagery because I can picture how crazy the storm was.

# data[].attributes.body
“Beyond the light of the fire, everything was swallowed up in the blackness of darkness. Presently there came & quivering glow that vaguely revealed the foliage for a moment and then vanished.”

This is an example of imagery because the text describes the darkness and then the sudden lightning strike in a very detailed way. I think that this is a great piece of descriptive language because it really creates a picture in the reader’s mind. When a reader reads this part they can imagine the pitch black darkness then quickly changing into the quivering glow that illuminates their surroundings. They can see the foliage around the boys briefly light up as the lightning strikes. This is why this piece of descriptive language is so good, it’s because the reader can really feel the words of the text.

# data[].attributes.body
“A deep peal of thunder went rolling and tumbling down the heavens, and lost itself in the sullen rumblings in the distance.”
I chose this quote from page 126 because it’s dramatic and shows how loud the thunder and noises of the storm are and how they’re probably drowning out every other nearby sound, and it makes the storm sound powerful and dangerous.

# data[].attributes.body
“Under the ceaseless conflagrations of lightnings that flamed in the skies, everything below stood out in clean-cut and shadowless distinctness; the bending trees, the billowy river white with foam, the driving spray of spumeflakes, the dim outlines of the high bluffs on the other side, glimpsed through the drifting cloud rack and the slanting veil of rain,” (127).

This quote has lots of description, with how the lightning and all of their surroundings are at the time. There is also a metaphor because it says the rain IS a slanting veil.

# data[].attributes.body
“Presently there came a quivering glow that vaguely revealed the foliage for a moment and then vanished. By and by another came, a little stronger. Then another. Then a faint moan came sighing through the branches of the forest, and the boys felt a fleeting breath open their cheeks,” (126).
This part shows how the boys pretty much saw the storm and use a lot of descriptive language.

# data[].attributes.body
“Now a weird flash turned night into day, and showed every little grass blade separate and distinct, that grew about their feet,” (126). I chose this quote because it contains a hyperbole by saying the lightning shows all the blades of grass separate. This makes the lightning seem like a brighter thing than it is.

# data[].attributes.body
“The a faint moan came signing through the branches of the forest.” (Pg 126) This is and example of personification because it saying the wind is doing and action only a human can do. I thought this was the best piece of descriptive language because it tells us that the thunder is just starting to arrive.

# data[].attributes.body
“Another fierce glare lit up the forest…” I thought this was a very descriptive line because it shows personification because it’s comparing a facial emotion to storm. The quote shows how powerful the thunder was.

# data[].attributes.body
“Under the ceaseless conflagrations of lightnings that flamed in the skies, everything below stood out in clean-cut and shadowless distinctness; the bending trees, the billowy river white with foam, the driving spray of spumeflakes, the dim outlines of the high bluffs on the other side, glimpsed through the drifting cloud rack and the slanting veil of rain,” (127). This is describing everything the storm is doing, and also the things that it has affected about the environment.

# data[].attributes.body
“Under the ceaseless conflagrations of lightnings that flamed in the skies, everything below stood out in clean-cut and shadowless distinctness…” (127)
This describes how lightning “flamed” the sky and everything looked brighter, this is better language than just saying how the lightning lit up the sky.

# data[].attributes.body
“…came now in earsplitting explosive bursts,” (127). This section of the chapter describes the thunder part of the storm and shows how loud it is. I think this is an example of a personification.

# data[].attributes.body
“Then a faint moan came sighing through the branches of the forest, and the boys felt a fleeting breath upon their cheeks, and shuddered with the fancy that the Spirit of the Night had gone by,” (126).

This is describing when the boys feel the wind of the storm, as well as hear thundering. I think this is personification because wind cannot breathe, and thunder cannot actually moan. This is the best quote because it does an amazing job of putting the reader in the scene.

# data[].attributes.body
“Rolling and tumbling down the heavens,” (126). This quote shows how the thunder moves. This is personification because the thunder can’t actuall roll down the heavens

# data[].attributes.body
“Presently came a quivering glow that vaguely revealed the foliage for a moment and then vanished,”(126). This describes the first flash of lightening that they see as the storm comes.

# data[].attributes.body
"Every little while some giant tree yielded the fight and fell crashing through the younger growth; and the unflagged thunderpeals came now in earsplitting explosive bursts, keen and sharp, and unspeakably appalling."(127). This explains how the storm was very harsh, causing trees to crash down, and the thunder to burst explosively and in earsplitting bursts.

# data[].attributes.body
“The boys cried out to each other, but the roaring wind and the booming thunder blasts drowned their voice utterly (127).This shows how loud and deafening the thunder is. “The roaring wind” is an example of personification.

# data[].attributes.body
“Then a faint moan came sighing through the branches of the forest.” (126)
I chose this line because it gives the thunder a human like expression which is personification.

# data[].attributes.body
“Under the ceaseless conflagrations of lightings that flamed in the skies, everything below stood out in clean-cut and shadowless distinctness,” (127). This shows how aggressive the storm is and gives us a picture of what the boys are seeing during the storm.

# data[].attributes.body
“Slanting veil of rain.” This quote explains how hard it was raining, it was a dangerous thing to be described in a blunt, dangerous way. This is a hyperbole, as it isn’t actually a slanting veil, or sheet of rain. It’s raining hard, but not hard enough to realistically be a veil of rain.

# data[].attributes.body
“And the boys felt a fleeting breath upon their cheeks…” (126) This is describing the wind softly blowing on their cheeks. “Breath” is personification because it uses the human characteristic breathing to replace wind.

# data[].attributes.body
“The storm culminated in one matchless effort…to tear the island to pieces, burn it up, drown it to the treetops, blow it away and deafen every creature in it,” (127).

This is the best quote because it shows how all the aspects of the storm (rain, wind, etc) are working together and nothing could last up against it. This is also personification because the storm cannot actually tear things apart or blow it away, etc.

# data[].attributes.body
“One blinding flash after another came,” (127). This quote shows how bright the lightening was. It is also a metaphor because it is comparing the blinding light to a really bright lightening strike.

# data[].attributes.body
