His lifestyle is very similar to communism. -Katelynn]]> 2017-11-06 21:02:54 UTC https://padlet.com/rylieo23/h8aeu9jrgpv1/wish/204125879 rylieo23 https://padlet.com/rylieo23/h8aeu9jrgpv1/wish/204126985
"There were only two occasions of release which were not punishment. Release of the elderly, which was not a time of a celebration for a life well and fully lived; and release of a new child, which always brought a sense of what-could-we-have-done" (7) 
This metaphor compares the elderly to the new child to new event or situation in the book. - Rylie ]]> 2017-11-06 21:05:40 UTC https://padlet.com/rylieo23/h8aeu9jrgpv1/wish/204126985 rylieo23 https://padlet.com/rylieo23/h8aeu9jrgpv1/wish/204130389 "It jumps out of my hand onto the ground!" (25). It meaning the apple Asher is holding tells the reader it jumps out of his hand. This is a personification because the apple does not literally jump out of his hand. -Rylie  ]]> 2017-11-06 21:15:08 UTC https://padlet.com/rylieo23/h8aeu9jrgpv1/wish/204130389 rylieo23 https://padlet.com/rylieo23/h8aeu9jrgpv1/wish/205574437 "Once, when he had been a Four, he had said, prior to the midday meal at school, "I'm Starving," (70). This is a hyperbole because he is not really starving like he will die without food, he is just being a little dramatic saying that he is starving while he is just very hungry. -Rylie]]> 2017-11-10 04:44:51 UTC https://padlet.com/rylieo23/h8aeu9jrgpv1/wish/205574437 https://padlet.com/rylieo23/h8aeu9jrgpv1/wish/205807893 "...the endless ribbon of road unfolding in twisting narrow curves." (174). This is a metaphor because Jonas is comparing the road to a ribbon. Jonas had to ride his bike down the same road, and this seemed very difficult, so by comparing the road to a long ribbon conveys Jonas's feeling of defeat.  -Katelynn]]> 2017-11-10 19:31:10 UTC https://padlet.com/rylieo23/h8aeu9jrgpv1/wish/205807893 https://padlet.com/rylieo23/h8aeu9jrgpv1/wish/205809480 "...he could see them gather on the backs of his hands, like cold fur." (81) Jonas is mesmerized by his ability to see without opening his eyes. By comparing his visions of light gathering on his hands to fur gathering on his hands he created a magical mood. - Katelynn]]> 2017-11-10 19:35:32 UTC https://padlet.com/rylieo23/h8aeu9jrgpv1/wish/205809480 https://padlet.com/rylieo23/h8aeu9jrgpv1/wish/205811209 "They skittered sideways and the sled gathered speed" (108)
"Jonas pulled at the rope, trying to steer, but the steepness, and speed and speed took control..." (108)
"Sideways, spinning, the sled hit a bump..." (108) There are many examples of alliteration in this single paragraph. The author uses this to express the seriousness of this situation with the sled.
