This is an example of onomatopoeia because it is a word that represents a sound. It is used to help you imagine not only the visual of the situation but the audio.]]> 2018-01-17 16:54:22 UTC https://padlet.com/21telpa/3tfl2kcq5sgt/wish/222136965 21telpa https://padlet.com/21telpa/3tfl2kcq5sgt/wish/222138454 This song is an example of a sad or hopeless tone. The writer of the song is talking about losing hope in someone and messing up. Listening to this, the  audience is supposed to feel sad and desperate. They use this to either make something relate-able if the audience is going through a tough time or to kind of give the audience a way of seeing in the writer's life.]]> 2018-01-17 16:57:43 UTC https://padlet.com/21telpa/3tfl2kcq5sgt/wish/222138454 21telpa https://padlet.com/21telpa/3tfl2kcq5sgt/wish/222140358 The fat cat is a marshmallow plopping on the floor, succumbing to the exhaustion. This metaphor is comparing the fat cat to a marshmallow which are obviously two very different things. It helps to create an image of the situation and adds a little character to the situation.]]> 2018-01-17 17:01:57 UTC https://padlet.com/21telpa/3tfl2kcq5sgt/wish/222140358 21telpa https://padlet.com/21telpa/3tfl2kcq5sgt/wish/222190361 The bird sang a jubilant tune into the cool, sleeping night. 
This is an example of personification because obviously we know birds can't literally sing and the night can't literally sleep. These actions are things that humans can do, applied to non-human things. This device can be used to give character to items or to create a better picture in the reader's head of what is going on. It may also help them make connections because they are all pretty familiar with these human traits and how they look and feel. ]]> 2018-01-17 18:52:48 UTC https://padlet.com/21telpa/3tfl2kcq5sgt/wish/222190361 21telpa https://padlet.com/21telpa/3tfl2kcq5sgt/wish/222227197 The poem "Break, Break, Break is an example of repetition. It uses the word  "break" three times in a row. It uses this twice. This drawing attention to the word break which means it has value in the story. ]]> 2018-01-17 20:20:07 UTC https://padlet.com/21telpa/3tfl2kcq5sgt/wish/222227197 21clagr https://padlet.com/21telpa/3tfl2kcq5sgt/wish/222296283 The letter "O" is repeated throughout this sentence to help draw attention and emphasize the "O" sound. The author did this to help make the mood or tone of that certain line or phrase pop out at the reader and grab their attention. ]]> 2018-01-18 04:25:03 UTC https://padlet.com/21telpa/3tfl2kcq5sgt/wish/222296283 21clagr https://padlet.com/21telpa/3tfl2kcq5sgt/wish/222299937 In this song there is a ton of references within the lyrics. First, the song title is a reference to the Bible as Shadrach was a biblical figure caught within a fiery furnace. A reason why they included this in the song was to add an reference point so the listener could think and relate it back to the song. Most musicians do this as to help their songs sell if they have a connection within it. ]]> 2018-01-18 05:00:52 UTC https://padlet.com/21telpa/3tfl2kcq5sgt/wish/222299937 21clagr https://padlet.com/21telpa/3tfl2kcq5sgt/wish/222300484 This is an oxymoron as a crisis is usually meant to be made big and not a minor, little thing. Oxymoron add an engaging effect for the reader as they have to stop and think about what it actually means and how it relates two totally different things. ]]> 2018-01-18 05:09:51 UTC https://padlet.com/21telpa/3tfl2kcq5sgt/wish/222300484 21telpa https://padlet.com/21telpa/3tfl2kcq5sgt/wish/222469057 Growing up, I had a book of nursery rhymes and this passage was one of them. The letter "P" is used over and over to create a silly mood and created a beat. ]]> 2018-01-18 15:35:26 UTC https://padlet.com/21telpa/3tfl2kcq5sgt/wish/222469057 21telpa https://padlet.com/21telpa/3tfl2kcq5sgt/wish/222496923 The purple lightning danced across the sky erratically. Using personification in this sentence creates a visual and further description of what is happening. It is also more original and spices up the writing.]]> 2018-01-18 16:28:17 UTC https://padlet.com/21telpa/3tfl2kcq5sgt/wish/222496923 21telpa https://padlet.com/21telpa/3tfl2kcq5sgt/wish/222503903 This is an example of an oxymoron because serious and funny are two opposite feelings or expressions. Using them together can exaggerate the fact that the thing is really funny. ]]> 2018-01-18 16:39:28 UTC https://padlet.com/21telpa/3tfl2kcq5sgt/wish/222503903 21telpa https://padlet.com/21telpa/3tfl2kcq5sgt/wish/222507162 This is an example of a metaphor because of the way that it is comparing a heart to gold which are two completely unrelated things. It doesn't use like or as so it is not a simile. This is used as a way to say the girl is nice or pure. By comparing her heart to gold, a valuable, beautiful metal, you are saying she is very good. It may be a more descriptive way to describe something without bluntly saying it in a boring way. It catches attention and opens imagination. ]]> 2018-01-18 16:44:43 UTC https://padlet.com/21telpa/3tfl2kcq5sgt/wish/222507162 21clagr https://padlet.com/21telpa/3tfl2kcq5sgt/wish/222508044 In the film Napoleon Dynamite there are a few hidden references during the movie. The move Dragonslayer makes a camo as a poster in Napoleon's room. During the dance formal scene the stars on the ceiling come from the movie Carrie. The director does this to help make the audience have a connection within and to further want them to see the movie more. ]]> 2018-01-18 16:46:22 UTC https://padlet.com/21telpa/3tfl2kcq5sgt/wish/222508044 21clagr https://padlet.com/21telpa/3tfl2kcq5sgt/wish/222513915 2018-01-18 16:58:02 UTC https://padlet.com/21telpa/3tfl2kcq5sgt/wish/222513915 21telpa https://padlet.com/21telpa/3tfl2kcq5sgt/wish/222515092 The show "American Horror Story" has a very obvious eerie and suspenseful tone. This is expressed to the viewer a lot through music or even things like erratic movement. It wants to communicate this tone because that is the whole appeal of the show. They want to make people curious and unsure. It adds an originality to the show.]]> 2018-01-18 17:00:20 UTC https://padlet.com/21telpa/3tfl2kcq5sgt/wish/222515092 21telpa https://padlet.com/21telpa/3tfl2kcq5sgt/wish/222520178 This is an example of onomatopoeia because it is a word that is representing the smashing or explosion sound. It is used because otherwise the experience would be really hard to explain. It also adds some flair to the text, it stands out. ]]> 2018-01-18 17:10:14 UTC https://padlet.com/21telpa/3tfl2kcq5sgt/wish/222520178 21clagr https://padlet.com/21telpa/3tfl2kcq5sgt/wish/222575834 In this song by Redbone the phrase of "come and get your love" is repeated over and over to help give the listener a catchy part to hold onto and really remember of the song. This also sticks out to the listener so they really have to stop and listen for it to come again. ]]> 2018-01-18 19:03:54 UTC https://padlet.com/21telpa/3tfl2kcq5sgt/wish/222575834
