1. The weather makes the mood of the story different because Sundara is sad and it adds some emphasis.
2. The literary device is a simile. It means that roads lead you to different places along the way to your destination. Rivers lead you to different places and have to adapt to the different problems.
3. The literary device is a hyperbole. The hyperbole makes Sundara's words feel for powerful to the reader.

1. the weather reflects the mood because the day is very gloomy and rainy
2. The literary device is a simile cause life can take you anywhere .
3. I think that this exaggeration is that she will not cry forever that goes into a whole lot of exaggeration.

1. the feeling of the weather makes the reader feel like somthing bad  is happening  which will make it sad and depressing.
2. they are both different because if life is like a road then you have control over your life but if life is like a river then that means you have no control over your life at all.
3. I think

1. It makes the reader feel sad. If the weather were sunny than I would feel more happy than when it is rainy and gloomy.                                          2.The literary device is a simile. It means that there are a lot of twists and turns and the twists and turns are when something changes in your life.                                                        3.She uses hyperbole because she probably wont cry forever but she feels like she might cry forever. If she would just stop in an hour than you wouldn't feel as sad and if it is forever you kinda feel her emotions that she is feeling.

1.The rainy weather effects the mood of chapter by showing that she is depressed
2. i think this metophor means that life is like a road and a river because you never know were it will take you
3.I think this  exaggeration is because of her friend dead  she uses a hyperbole.

1. The weather is reflective of the emotions in this chaper because the gloomy weather changes the mood. If it was sunny out side with blue skys if would be harder for Sundara to be so sad when it was such a nice day.
2. The literary device used is a simile This simile means that not always life will take you right where you want to go. There are many twists and turns along the way. In life you have to kinda go with the flow because you are not incontrol over everything. On a road you are more stable though and you have more control than you would on a river when the water will take you where ever it wants.
3.  The author uses a hyperbole at the end of the chapter. This is so much more powerful that saying she had just cried for a day because is shows how much she cares for people and it shows us Sundaras true personality. Using the hyperbole really made us have a feel for her feelings way deep inside of her.

1.  The weather reflects the mood because if it was sunny and blue skies then we wouldn't feel as depressing as rain and gray skies make you feel.
2. The literary device is a simile. The river simile means that you try to take control but you get pulled away from the path no matter how hard you try. The road simile means you can keep going as you please without anything pulling you off course and Sundara believes that is untrue. They are similar because they both lead down a road but they are different because one of them is uncontrollable (river) and one is easy and controllable (road).
3. The literary device is hyperbole. When Sundara says she would never stop crying it gives us a better sense of her pain of leaving her home, her family, and Chamroeun. Her exaggeration makes us feel how deep her sadness really is. It makes you feel how she feels.

# data[].attributes.body
1. The weather reflects the mood because if the weather was blue skies and happy you would not feel Sundara's sadness and pain. The rain is a symbol of  the bad thing to come.
2. This is a simile. It means that life will take you somewhere. You might want to take the easy way down, you will steer of but you will find your way back. It also means that the river is rough and tosses you around where the road is a easy path to where you want to go.
3. The literary device is a hyperbole. The exaggeration in her words show us just how deep her pain inside is, and how she has kept it hidden inside of her. Her words show you what she has been feeling and what she is feeling inside. The way she said them also created a dramatic affect.

1.the weather affects the mood.
2. the weather affects the mood because it captures sundara mood...... in every chapter it says what it is like out side like if it is raining, sunny, cloudy... you can tell what kinda mood sundara is going to be like cause i think it was chapter 11 when sundara got in trubble for haveing jonthen over she got mad and tryed to kick him out befor soka got home so she was in a sad mood..aka a rainy day....and when she found out that chamroeun died..her hart sunk...

1. The weather adds on to the fact that Sundara is sad. If it was sunshine and rainbows it would not only not make sense, it wouldn't get the message across properly that Sundara is going through a hard time.

2. It is a simile about life. The road is saying that you keep driving and you make lefts and rights,  being your decisions, but a river is saying you just keep going and you get what you get.

3. The author uses hyperbole to show the almost depressed like feeling within her. Without the hyperbole it wouldn't have been as strong of a statement. If it said something like, "I may cry for hour," we probably wouldn't not be doing a discussion over it because it would seem like the rest of the times when she is sad in the book. -Ethan

1) The weather affects the chapter because raining is usually a visual sad mood and makes everyone else down.  If the weather had been warm and bright, Sundara might have felt better.
2) Life is like a road/life is like a river  are both similes.  These mean that Life is a journey you take along a path that you can decide.  However, road means you can take whichever path you choose, while river means you can attempt to choose your path, but it will most likely take you wherever it goes.
3) The very last sentence of the chapter is a hyperbole.  Exaggeration makes the words more powerful because it makes it feel that she can't cry or will eternally cry.  If she said for an hour, it would feel less powerful because an hour will eventually end.

# data[].attributes.body
1) The weather affects the mood in the chapter since Sundara is sad because a boy that lived on her road had died. Plus if the weather was nice and blue you would not feel how Sundara's sadness
2) Life is like a road and Life is a river is a simile they both mean life is like a road means that you are sad and life is a river means your happy and glad. They are different because they both expresses  different moods.
3) The very last sentence of the chapter is a hyperbole because its using exaggeration saying "Jonatan, I started to cry think maybe I never stop". This makes her words more powerful because she is exaggerating that she may never stop crying. If they didn't use this sentence you would not get the feeling Sundara feels.

Step 1
1. The weather affects the mood of this chapter because rain or bad weather is usually symbol of sadness. In this chapter sundara is sad so the weather helps to show how Sundara feels. If the weather was nice then the mood would be different because when the weather is nice you usually feel happy and that is not how Sundara feels.
2. Life is like a river/ road is a metaphor. Life is like a road means that you can choose your path and your future, while life like a river means that you try and steer yourself in the right direction but it is a lot more difficult because you will keep getting thrown around by the river.
3. The figurative language in the last sentence is a hyperbole. This exaggeration is so important because it make the incident sound a lot more important instead of just saying Sundara cried for a little bit.

# data[].attributes.body
1. The weather contributes greatly to the passage because it sets the tone of what the topic is going to be about. If the weather was different, then the mood would change, and since what they were talking about is such a heavy discussion, the rain goes perfect with it.
2. The literary device is a simile. I think that this simile means that you are always following a path, it's just your choice which turn you take. I think they are different because when your on a road it will eventually stop, and it is also an easy ride. When you're on a river, you can keep going, and there will still always be more for you to travel on, you may not be able to steer very well, but you can have fun.
3.When Sundara says that she will never stop crying, she is using a hyperbole. The over exaggeration makes this more powerful because it makes what she says feel stronger and have more meaning to it. It shows that Sundara is actually really upset about this and all her emotions are building up and she is scared to let them out. If she would have used different word choice, then the statement wouldn't mean as much. Instead it would have lost its purpose and not have an effect on the situation.

1.  The weather affects the mood in this chapter by making it feel as though something bad will happen. If you had sunshine and rainbows it would make the bad things to come not seem bad and take away the suspense.

2. The literary device used is a simile because it uses the word like to compare two things. They both mean that life will take you somewhere. Jonathan means that you can make your own choices whereas Sundara is saying that life will take you somewhere and you just have to let it.

3.Those words make the sentence sound more powerful because it adds the dramatic everlasting sense of how scared Sundara is to let the sadness out come through. The exaggeration used makes you feel like Sundara would like to cry but she feels she couldn't contain it afterwards. She obviously has plenty to cry about but she thinks that once she would start, she wouldn't be able to stop. If Sundara had used different words, it would have sounded like "oh it's bad, but no big deal". A normal person could cry about something a lot better than what she went through for hours or days. This brings the sense that we have absolutely have no idea what she went through.

1. The weather makes everything gloomy. If it was sunny it would be a different feel.
2. This is a simile. The road means you can steer yourself own way. The river you can try but the current might be to strong.
3. She is using a hyperbole because she will stop crying. It makes you feel how upset she is. If it was an hour instead of forever it doesn't sound right and it's not as powerful.

# data[].attributes.body
The rain in this chapter reflects a gloomy mood. It foreshadows the information that Chameroun dies.If the setting was bright and sunny than it would foreshadow that something good was to come.

The simile life is like a road means that even though there are bumps in life, as long as you follow the path everything should be ok. The simile life is like a river means that even though we are all separated we are all part of one group.

This hyperbole means that that she has held it in so long that once she starts she may never be able to get it together.

1. The weather in the chapter is rainy, and rainy normaly means gloomy. Sundara is sad about jonathan.

2. It  is a metaphore. I think it mean that a road is normaly a smooth ride for cars , but on a river it is ruff and hard to travel on.

3. Because if it said she would stop in an hour it would make her seem not as sad as if it said she would never stop.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Because it was raining, that made Jonathon's actions of going out with Sundara in the rain and taking her to his special spot so much more notable. The weather affected the mood because the reader got a good feeling about Jonathon when he went out in the rain with Sundara. If the weather was just sunny and warm then I don't know if Jonathon would've gone after Sundara because it would be a normal thing for Sundara to do because the weather was nice.
2. It's a simile because it's comparing life and a river/road. They both mean that sometimes your going to get stopped or slowed down but you always keep going. They're different because in Cambodia a river is like our roads.
3. Sundara used a hyperbole because she was exaggerating that she might not stop crying if she starts. It would have been different if she said hour or another less exaggerated word because it shows how much she lost that she could might not be able to stop crying but she's trying to stay positive.

# data[].attributes.body
1. The weather affects the mood in this chapter because is is gloomy and rainy which goes along with how Sundara is feeling about the letter telling about Chamroeun. If the weather was sunny with no clouds in the sky then the reader would really confused.
2. Life is like a road/life is like a river could be a simile or personification. It is a simile because it uses like. It is personification because it is giving a non-human thing human characteristics. If you say life is like a road, I think you are saying that life    can be difficult but there are always good parts. Saying life is like a river means life will be terrible at times and good things are less likely to happen.
3. Sundara is using hyperbole. The exaggeration In her words makes the sentence powerful because if she said I might cry for an hour it wouldn't make it seem as bad to jonathan, so now jonathan will help her get through it. Any other time less than a week would have made those words less important

# data[].attributes.body
1) Since Sundara is sad about Chamroeun dying, I makes the weather rainy and droopy. This affects the reader by making him or her sad and making them feel what Sundara feels. If the weather was different then the reader would feel different too.

2) It is a metaphor. Life is like a road/life is like a river are both talking about were life leads you and  what are the difficulties. Life is like a road only leads you forward. Life is like a river means that there are twists and turns you must make to get to the end.

3) Sundara is using an hyperbole. It suggests that if she started crying she would fill an ocean. If she said for an hour/day/night the reader would probably feel a different mood.

# data[].attributes.body
1.  Rain symbolizes sadness and the sadness from the rain just adds to Sundaras feelings because of Chamroeun's death. If there was no rain or if it was a perfect day the mood would have been much different.
2.Simile, they both mean that there is a path to life and everything is almost completely laid out before you. But the river one is different because a river allows you to guide yourself along the path a little and avoid all the bad parts. But on the road there are no bad parts there are just stalls and potholes trying to slow you down. They both mean about the same thing.
3.that implies that she will never get over it no matter the time in between events. If she had just said she would cry for a set amount of time that would imply that she would eventually get over her future husband's death.

# data[].attributes.body
1. The weather affects the mood in this chapter because it is raining and dark and gloomy which accompanies the mood of this chapter. This is because Sundara talks about how Chamroeun's died and how all of the things that have happened in her life have just been unfair. If the wether was nice and sunny, it would make the mood of the chapter different because what Jonathan and Sundara talked about was pretty sad, and if the weather was nice, it wouldn't go along with the chapter. It would be like saying something very sad in a joyful tone.

2. Life is like a road/life is like a river is personification because it is giving human qualities to a river and a road but it can also be a simile because it uses the words like or as. They both mean that life doesn't always go your way but you have to keep going. They are different because on a road you can stop in anyplace you want to at anytime, where as if you are on a river you can't stop because the water will keep flowing and pushing you along.

3. The literary device Sundara is using in "Jonatan, if I start to cry, I think I may never stop" is a hyperbole because she is saying that if she starts to cry she will "never" stop crying because she has had so many bad things happen in her life that she could keep crying forever. If she said for an hour/day/night then it wouldn't be as powerful because it wouldn't have as much meaning as crying forever.

# data[].attributes.body
1. The weather affects the mood because Sundara just received the news that Chamroeun had died so the rain is a sign that she is very depressed about his death.
2. It is a simile and it means that life doesn't go your way all the time you just have to move on and accept what is happening even if you have no control over whats is going on around you. if you are on a road you can stop anytime you want because the road isn't pushing you along unlike a river where you have to always keep moving and you can't stop to dwell on the past
3. Sundara is using a hyperbole exaggeration makes her words more powerful because it shows the empathy of how sad she feels. If she would have said an hour it would still mean she is sad but it doesn't empathize how sad she really is.
