(ouch!)
He just swished
in your face
stung you like
a can of mace
These boys so fly
they're outta space!" (Alexander 6).
This is an example of similes and metaphors. It compares the basketball players skills to other things such as a bee sting. It helps me see their game like a scout looking over a team. I think the author used this in the passage to show how important these similes and metaphors are to describe something. I also think the author used them to make the book more interesting and to describe the way the people are playing basketball.]]> 2019-05-10 13:17:01 UTC https://padlet.com/beatsus/dfw5wds51rma/wish/358861039 https://padlet.com/beatsus/dfw5wds51rma/wish/358861046 "He just Swished 
In your Face
Stung you Like 
A Can of Mace
These Boys So Fly
They're outa Space!"
(Alexander 6).

This is an example of both similes and metaphors. It makes  me visualize a game of basketball, where one team is destroying the other team, and there is really no competition between the teams. The author added the similes and metaphors, because he wanted to help the reader visualize the game, and how the team is playing. The similes and metaphors may also be referencing how Charlie Bell likes to read comics, and imagine himself as a muscular superhero who is afraid of nothing, or as a great basketball player who never misses a shot.]]> 2019-05-10 13:17:01 UTC https://padlet.com/beatsus/dfw5wds51rma/wish/358861046 https://padlet.com/beatsus/dfw5wds51rma/wish/358887547 "It's like a bee S T I N G 
(OUCH!)
He just swished

(Alexander 6).

This is an example of metaphors and similes. It makes me feel like i'm in the person's position watching that ball go swoosh in the hoop standing there like I could have done nothing to stop it. The author added this to help people visualize what is going on and show a better picture of the "Burn" that it left on the other players. It also helps relate the character to yourself in a way that you can understand what is going on from personal experience.]]> 2019-05-10 14:12:48 UTC https://padlet.com/beatsus/dfw5wds51rma/wish/358887547 https://padlet.com/beatsus/dfw5wds51rma/wish/358991241 "Her nostril flares up
her left eyebrow lifts-the look
whens she's about to trip out" 
(Alexander 47).

This is an example of interesting word choice. The author could have used a different word, but he chose flare.  I think he chose that because it shows more how mad his mom is, we have all seen are moms very mad so it betters shows us how mad she is. It helps us be put in Chuck's shoe which is the whole goal of the book.]]> 2019-05-10 18:12:51 UTC https://padlet.com/beatsus/dfw5wds51rma/wish/358991241 https://padlet.com/beatsus/dfw5wds51rma/wish/358991252 "The game is on at the park the stars are out hoop king soaring in the sky so high so fly like they got wings hey,charlie you see what he did with that thing my best friend,skinny,yells twirling and whirling the ball"(Alexander 5)
 
This example of good word.Is very good it is telling how good the kid is and what are some of his tricks that he has  ]and the moves that he does to make kids mad i also think the word are good because it tells how good the team is and what good skills they have.]]> 2019-05-10 18:12:52 UTC https://padlet.com/beatsus/dfw5wds51rma/wish/358991252 https://padlet.com/beatsus/dfw5wds51rma/wish/358991617 "SOMETIMES, I WISH 
I was a superhero,
superfly
like Quicksilver
speed-racing
down the court
sleek as a sports car
faster than a NASCAR,
leaving all my sadness in the dust-far,
far away from now" (Alexander 8).

This is an example of good word choice. The author could have used different words to describe how he was a superhero and different verbs of what he did. I think he chose that because it shows more interest in the book.]]> 2019-05-10 18:13:40 UTC https://padlet.com/beatsus/dfw5wds51rma/wish/358991617 https://padlet.com/beatsus/dfw5wds51rma/wish/358992146 "kicks so hot his feet glow  moves so cold you see snow tall as a cypress tree, Bro game so lit, makes seeds grow in -your-face-3-d-show and so swift you breathe slow watch me fly from the free throw superman is sweet, yo    DUNK! but charlie is the hero"(alexander 60-61).

I'd skate the sky, and

Why?

'Cause my feet got wings...

This is an example of a simile because he is comparing his feet to butterfly wings when he is talking about wanting to get new shoes.]]> 2019-05-10 19:05:58 UTC https://padlet.com/beatsus/dfw5wds51rma/wish/359011814 https://padlet.com/beatsus/dfw5wds51rma/wish/359011987 Id skate the sky and you wouldn't keep up with me because i'm to fast(Alexander 10).I am like a quick sliver speed racing down the court(p.8)]]> 2019-05-10 19:06:31 UTC https://padlet.com/beatsus/dfw5wds51rma/wish/359011987 https://padlet.com/beatsus/dfw5wds51rma/wish/359012550 ¨"If I had the right shoes,

I pick this one because I thought it was good and how it show how he wanted to be good and play basketball if he got new shoes. It showed how he would play in the shoes vs the old shoes he use to have.
