Organizing the book in this way is effective in keeping the interest of readers, as each chapter brings a new character and new perspective on the book's topic.

I've placed this mentor text in the category of beautiful words, as even though what is written is quite sad, the author has created a visual here that many people can share a connection with. Her use of imagery and specific details in her writing creates an atmosphere for readers that can take us back to memories like this of our own. Although in the book's context the character has passed away, I've found that I can emphasize with the feeling of emptiness the author has portrayed here, from the feeling of a sibling moving away. Walking into my older brother's room, seeing all of his things, memories and feelings come flooding back of the times spent with him growing up — and then knowing that things will never be the same. An author's ability to spark memories and connections to their text from their readers is something that I consider to be a beautiful thing.

I was watching Mulan the other day and this beautiful, poetic line jumped out at me. It portrays the idea that facing challenges and adversity leads to personal growth and beauty — a powerful and inspiring message that many people may need to hear. I've since noticed too that this line relates to me even in terms of my Know I'm Here project, in the way that I have based it upon "existence", "isolation", and "purpose"...this quote resonates with the feeling of isolation (adversity) and then purpose (beauty). Without the stage of adversity, I may not have found the sense of purpose, or the beauty, that has come from it.

I have noticed the author's use of several writing moves and forms of sentence structure in this passage, including:

Satire — The author uses humour and irony to criticize, or mock different types of writers and their styles of writing. The way he get's his point across is lighthearted and funny, which appeals to readers' interest and sense of humour.

Hyperbole — Adding on to the last point, the author uses hyperbole (exaggerated language) to emphasize the negative qualities of the writers. an example is when he says, "pulsing adverbs", and, "vile passive voice constructions".

Imagery — The author uses very specific descriptions like "wearing black turtlenecks and wrinkled khaki pants", and, "the titled alley where I cried my mother's name", to create a visual for readers of the type of person (writer) he is trying to describe.

These writing moves used by the author are successful to contributing to his tone that he wishes to portray towards a certain type of writer and writing style.

The author uses descriptive language and imagery at the very beginning of the chapter to create intrigue, and draw readers in. The way he chooses to start it almost mid-commentary ("so okay—") captures readers' attention straight away, and makes us interested in seeing what he'll say next. The way that the author uses polysyndeton as well, plays a part in the rhythm of the sentence, and brings an emphasis to each imagery description. For example, "There you are in your room with the shade down and the door shut and the plug pulled out of the base of the telephone.". The use of descriptive language and literary devices helps to capture readers' interest effectively at the beginning of a new chapter.

This is the ending of the book Legend by Marie Lu. The author does an amazing job of bringing the book to a sense of ending while hinting at the prospect of more. I felt, while reading this ending, almost a sense of sadness or unease. The use of emotional imagery, descriptions such as, "final farewell" and "watching the lightning and listening to the thunder", create a very vivid and emotional atmosphere. Readers also feel a sense of connection to the protagonist as their personal thoughts reveal a deep emotional connection with their loved one, and add a more intimate dimension to the sense of sadness.

The author also uses foreshadowing to make a promise of a reunion in the future—giving a sense of hope to readers, but also emphasizing the current separation of the characters.

This verse in Taylor Swift's song, All Too Well contains literary devices to tell a story to listeners through impactful writing. The use of imagery and metaphor enhances the emotional impact of the lyrics. The comparison of being broken like a promise, and feeling crumpled like a piece of paper, gives people vivid imagery and emphasizes the feeling of betrayal and hurt both creatively and poetically.

The use of words like "casually", "cruel", and "remember it all", evoke a strong emotional response from listeners. They showcase the power that words have over our emotions, and how carefully chosen language is used to convey feelings.
