Example: Two Islands. The story talks about how 2 islands progress as individuals, contrasting between the two. The message is easy to read but how to connect it to our world and not the story is difficult. To me it talks about how some countries might be wanting to declare more land and create more profit but it belongs to a different side of living. It wants to stay true to its nature aspect and when being seized, karma comes into place. Everything has a price or consequence.]]> 2019-03-06 19:39:54 UTC https://padlet.com/mrebidue03/7pfnoylyiywq/wish/338580108 mrebidue03 https://padlet.com/mrebidue03/7pfnoylyiywq/wish/338580165 Definition: A figure of speech involving the comparison of one thing with another thing
Example: Fatty Legs. "They were not family; they were like owls and ravens raising wrens." Wrens are small and live life very differently than owls and ravens. The nuns and priests were the owls and ravens who were trying to make the children (wrens) adapt to their lifestyle instead. ]]> 2019-03-06 19:40:01 UTC https://padlet.com/mrebidue03/7pfnoylyiywq/wish/338580165 mrebidue03 https://padlet.com/mrebidue03/7pfnoylyiywq/wish/338580331 Definition: A figure of speech in which a word or phrase is applied to an object or action to which it is not literally applicable.

This proves that her pride is bigger than everything else, she only really cares for looks and status.]]> 2019-03-06 19:40:20 UTC https://padlet.com/mrebidue03/7pfnoylyiywq/wish/338580331 mrebidue03 https://padlet.com/mrebidue03/7pfnoylyiywq/wish/338580394 Definition: The attribution of a personal nature or human characteristics to something nonhuman
Example: The Necklace. "She thought of dainty dinners, of shining silverware, of tapestry that peopled the walls with ancient personages and with strange birds flying in the midst of a fairy forest". The walls make the room look like there are more people in the room than there actually are. ]]> 2019-03-06 19:40:27 UTC https://padlet.com/mrebidue03/7pfnoylyiywq/wish/338580394 mrebidue03 https://padlet.com/mrebidue03/7pfnoylyiywq/wish/338580569 Definition: Visually descriptive or figurative language
