Sample reading response: In my book The Thief of Always by Clive Barker the section of text that stands out to me is the paragraph below: The metaphor in this section is calling the month of February a “great, gray beast” and saying that it had eaten Harvey completely. I think what it really means is that Harvey does not like the month February. He calls it a “beast”. I think he also feels like the month is going to last forever because the text says he is “buried in the belly” of February. This part could be important to the rest of the story because it shows us just how horrible Harvey was feeling at home, which is one of his internal conflicts. It also shows why he was so easily tricked to go and stay at the Holiday House, which becomes the big external conflict in the story.

In the book, Water for Elephants, by Sara Gruen, a metaphor is, "Don't be a wet noodle!" It refers to how she is being pessimistic in the restaurant. (Page 115) This is important to the text, because it shows how Marlena is miserable with the state of the animals being starved because of problems in the circus.

A metaphor in the book The Missing: Found by Margaret Peterson Haddix is "Appeared out of thin air?" and it means that something appeared out of nowhere. This connects to the main story because the entire plot is about time traveling and people disappearing and appearing out of nowhere.

In the book The Missing: Found by Margaret Peterson Haddix the metaphor that most sticks out to me is "The test was a breeze" which means that the test was very easy. It sticks out to me because a test for me is usually very hard and stressful, so for a book character let's just say it very very very weird. This is important to the text because it tells the reader that Chip is very smart which could lead to predictions or events in the book like if Chip might outsmart the enemy (or "e" in the book) or if he might figure out the enemies plan before the enemy even starts executing the plan.

5/10 Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

# data[].attributes.body
In the book Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire by J.K Rowling the metaphor that most sticks out to me is "he had fallen through a page in an enchanted diary, right into somebody else's memory." I think that this means that he felt like if he was inside somebody else's memory and that he could see everything that had happened in that memory. This sticks out to me because it's mysterious and interesting because it doesn't really say what happened it just explains what happened and it is writing like in a poetic way which makes it more interesting. This is important because after in the book he understands what is happening and why that memory was so important, what happens in the memory is something he didn't know had happened before, and that makes a difference later on.

In the book "The Shadow children" a metaphor that I think I see is when Luke wanted to Jen stay safe. He said he was dead, so I think what he meant was that he was very sad and if something happened to her he will be sad. This part might be important because maybe something bad is going to happen to Jen.

5/10 Metaphor and Allegory: The Magician's ephew 

# data[].attributes.body
In the book The Magician's Nephew by C.S Lewis, a metaphor is when the author wrote "All this time the cabby had been trying to catch Strawberry's eye." this means that the Cabby was trying to find Strawberry. This is important to the story because if the Cabby hadn't tried to talk to Strawberry then Aslan wouldn't have turned him into a flying horse to go help Digory when he went to find the apple of youth which then leads to Digory saving his mom's live and to help protect Narnia at least for about a-hundred years.

In the book The Lost Hero, by Rick Riordan, a metaphor that appears at the bottom of the page is "Our Enemies Stir" meaning that the enemy is getting stronger. This is important to the whole story's plot because the book is basically about three friends that go on a quest, and enemies getting stronger so that they can destroy something or someone.

5/10 Metaphor and Allegory -  The Missing: Found

# data[].attributes.body
In the book The Missing: Found by Margret Peterson Haddix, a metaphor I found in the book was "Chip was shell- shocked." I think that means that he was surprised. That connects to the story because in the story there are lots of surprising things and people get shocked a lot.

A metaphor in The Lightning Thief  is that Gabe could sniff out money like a bloodhound. This Part is connected to the story because it's a reason why Percy hates Gabe because he cares more about money than he cares about Percy.

in the book Among the Impostors by Margaret Petersen Haddix a metaphor for being in complete alert and panic is when Luke said "every muscle in his body has screaming for him to run". The author wants to transmit the fear that Luke is having in this moment. Beside this sentence is very important to the whole text because it demonstrates the fear Luke has and without this metaphor the paragraph would not be as strong in showing his feelings.

5/10 Metaphor and Allegory - Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

# data[].attributes.body
A metaphor in the serie Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban by J.K Rowling is
"It was dragging Ron away as easily as a rag doll." (pg. 334)
I think the meaning of the metaphor is that the dog was pulling Ron  easily like if he didn't weigh nothing.

A metaphor in the book the shadow children is
"If Jen's dad was just talking for the sake of a bug."
I'm not very sure what that ment but I think it means that Jens dad was talking out of nowhere.

5/10 The Shadow Children by Margaret Peterson

In the book The Shadow Children, a metaphor is "Jen's dad was just taking for the sake of the bug". I think that's a metaphor, I don't really know exactly what does it mean but I think it means that he is talking a lot, for long time or that even a bug could hear him. I think this part is important for the book because is when Jen's dad is taking Luke with his fake I.D.

5/10 Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix by: J.K Rowling

In, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix by: J.K Rowling, an allegory in the book is Mrs. Black's portrait, Mrs. Black's portrait apart to yell at anyone who makes a loud noise she screams stuff like traitor, and that affects and reminds Sirius Black of his dark days in his childhood.

In the book The Lighting Thief by Rick Riordan, a metaphor I found is "Melting into light shimmering gold form"  this line appeared when Percy's mom was being grabbed by the neck by the minotaur, and it means that something disappeared into the brightness of the sun. This is important to the story because if Percy's mom did not die Percy would not be in the camp because it was Percy's dad that wanted Percy to go. Also if Percy's mom did not die Percy would have fought the minotaur because Percy killed it to defend his mom.

In the book Percy Jackson by Rick Roidan the metaphor is If I fall in the moon and Anabeth thought that. And I think that means that he is always distracted and you are thinking nothing.. This connects to the whole text because Percy is always distracted.

In the book, Percy Jackson and the Sea of Monsters, a metaphor is "She left my stomach back on Broome Street."
This means that the three kniting ladies were driving in a car and they went so fast that he was going to throw up.
This relates to my whole text because bad things always happen to Percy.

5/10 Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

# data[].attributes.body
In the book Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, by J.K Rowling, a metaphor is, She nodded, blushing to the roots of her flaming hair, and put her elbow in the butter fish. I think what they meant is that her hair is very red because flaming comes from the word flame and flame is like fire and fire is like the color red. This part is important because it is saying that Ginny will go to Hogwarts this year.

In the book Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows by J.K Rowling, a metaphor in my book is "I open at the close." This appeared in the  snitch Harry caught in his first game of Quidditch. Something mentioned is that Snitches can be open by it's owner. I believe that the "close" part means death, so the snitch says " I open when you die." This might be important to the the plot, because since "close" means death, Harry might die in the story.

In George's Marvelous Medicine by Roald Dahl,  a metaphor is "A wonderful mountain of white foam built up in the giant saucepan." This is a metaphor because it's comparing a foam to the mountain.

# data[].attributes.body
In George and the Marvelous Medicine by Roald Dahl I found a really interesting metaphor that says " A tingle of electricity flashed down the length of Georges spine" i think the author is trying to say that George was really scared of her grandmother telling him these words " Some of us have magic powers that can twist the creatures into wondrous shapes" is explaining how George was so frighten he though her old grumpy grandmother would hurt him, physically or internally. This could turn of as a internal conflict for George that is his hate for that old terrible woman, later this part of the text connects to the external conflict of the book which is when George shows his hate for the grandmother and prepares a toxic medicine for her.

# data[].attributes.body
The metaphor I found in the Shadow Children by Margaret Peterson was “if Jen’s dad was just talking for the sake of a bug.” I think what it could mean is that Luke couldn’t trust Jen’s dad and he was just talking lies. This could connect to the text because Luke had suffered for so long that he couldn’t trust anyone and he thought that it was impossible to be free since he was trapped for an eternity.

In the book Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban by J.K Rowling, a allegory that I found is Death, because Harry sense he was a baby he was chase by Voldemort who killed his parents, then death tries to kill Harry, but at instance it gives him more power and making him much stronger. Everything that chase us and wants us to die, and we survive, it just make us stronger, and be more growth mindset. After some time, Lord Voldemort and the immortal Dementors makes Harry's most fearful worst enemies. So as soon that his angry enough and has the strength, to do it he instantly wants and tries to destroy every single bad creature or person that mean and cruel to the world of magic.

In the book, Percy Jackson and The Titans Curse, I think the metaphor "Time slowed down". Consists on like if he dodged the bullet, I found this because I looked at the surroundings of the metaphor and found out what it could mean like at the end after the metaphor it said: " I won't say I could see the bullet, but I could feel its path". so I noticed it was like If he dodged the bullet.

In the book "Harry Potter and The Chamber Of Secrets" by J.K Rowling,  one metaphor that I found was "rolling in gold" that means that that person is rich. A alligorie  that I found was "be thankful with what you have".

In the book the Hobbit by  J.R.R Tolkien a metaphor I found was the wolves were as fierce as the devil which means that the wolves were very dangerous, another metaphor I found was he was as ugly as a midsummer's eve without fireworks. An alligory I found was even in a dangerous situation there's a way out which means that if you're in a tight corner you can always escape , a second one was that when evil overpowers good there is always hope.
