"At ten o'clock the house began to die."
The use of personification in this line helps to show how the house began to crumble and perish because of the intense fire. ]]> 2017-09-29 19:02:03 UTC https://padlet.com/sprinkls/77m4vadwuwxp/wish/192590885 https://padlet.com/sprinkls/77m4vadwuwxp/wish/192590928 Jacob Brown]]> 2017-09-29 19:02:12 UTC https://padlet.com/sprinkls/77m4vadwuwxp/wish/192590928 https://padlet.com/sprinkls/77m4vadwuwxp/wish/192591126 Metaphor - Pg. 328, "The house was an altar.... but the gods were gone."
