(453)

- Spring is a season, it cannot [b]tremble[/b]
- This phrase implies that it is near the end of the spring season, and it's almost summer, not spring being scared
- Foreshadows that something bad may happen soon.
- Ironic, because spring is supposed to be about birth, and generally peaceful things, however, the word [i]trembled[/i] gives the word spring a different feeling.]]> 2016-10-13 12:56:59 UTC https://padlet.com/kucinic/personificationperiod1/wish/130413584 Therese https://padlet.com/kucinic/personificationperiod1/wish/130414020 "... a cigarette jittered between his fingers" (454)

-cigarette is an object it does not move by itself, the old man holding it is simply jittering himself

-shows that the man holding it is old and weak

-the old mans debut gives the story a creepy feeling, foreshadows that this isnt a beautiful springtime story but something bad/odd is going to happen]]> 2016-10-13 12:58:20 UTC https://padlet.com/kucinic/personificationperiod1/wish/130414020 Jahlaun jahlaunsmart https://padlet.com/kucinic/personificationperiod1/wish/130414142 "The radio poured out bad news..." (454) 

The radio cannot physically pour anything the statement is implying that all the news being reported was bad news. 

Foreshadows the murder because the reporter is talking about the the hammer killer

-Spingtime is a season but it doesn't have a face so it cant be beautiful

-Dramatic irony, murders are happening but there saying that springtime is beautiful]]> 2016-10-13 13:03:09 UTC https://padlet.com/kucinic/personificationperiod1/wish/130415718 joneill_inderjeit https://padlet.com/kucinic/personificationperiod1/wish/130713423 2016-10-14 12:46:10 UTC https://padlet.com/kucinic/personificationperiod1/wish/130713423 https://padlet.com/kucinic/personificationperiod1/wish/305390852 2018-11-16 18:20:35 UTC https://padlet.com/kucinic/personificationperiod1/wish/305390852 https://padlet.com/kucinic/personificationperiod1/wish/305391551 2018-11-16 18:22:07 UTC https://padlet.com/kucinic/personificationperiod1/wish/305391551
