Turret- a small tower

Devices: Personification, Antithesis, Metaphor
Commentary: The vines are meant to symbolize the unforgiving nature of the forest. The vines are compared to strangling in a metaphor. Their human like description describes a gruesome scene where they battle their own kin. Kin implies a sense of family while in contrast they are fighting each other.

4) "They are pale, doomed blossoms, bound to appeal to your sympathies"
Devices: Synecdoche, Assonance, Antithesis
Commentary: "..blossoms, bound.." a fantastic example of assonance makes the sentence flow. These "..blossoms.." are truly people; describing them as flowers provides insight about their nature. These so called "doomed blossoms..appeal to your sympathies," these contrasting descriptors give gravity to the sentence.

Devices: metaphor, synecdoche, assonance
Metaphor is shown when describing the girls as doomed blossoms. calling the girls doomed blossoms is also an example of synecdoche. The quote also shows examples of assonance, "doomed blossoms" is an example of assonance.
3.)"A choir of seedlings arching their necks out of a rotted tree stumps, sucking life out of death."
Devices: antithesis, personification, synecdoche
Antithesis is used in saying "sucking life out of death". Personification is used when saying "arching their necks". Synecdoche is used when "a choir".

onance in the quote is "glory" and "or" because they have the same sounding "o". This connects the ideas of good and bad in the quote as glory and damnation.   
-An example of a metaphor was when it compared "each one" to a gun/weapons. This intensified what was happening to the woman's heart and made the audience think deeper about.
-The alliteration was the "t" in "tensed" and "to" which also connected the idea of the weapon and heart.


Quote #2 " Vines strangling their own kin in the everlasting wrestle for sunlight"(4-5)
-There is repetition with the two words "strangling" and "everlasting ". This makes the audience pay more attention to what's happening with the words.
-There is also metaphor as it is comparing two things  such as they are comparing wrestling to strangling. Which makes you think about what is actually working.
- lastly, there is also antithesis which is the contrasting ideas of strangling their own kin. You are supposed to care about your peer and not want to kill them.

Devices: Personification, assonance, and metaphor
Analysis: The plants are personified by arching their necks. A metaphor is also used to describe the choir or seedlings. Repeating of i's and o's is assonance.

Quote: "Vines stringing their own kin in the everlasting wrestle for sunlight."
Devices: Personification, metaphor, and antithesis
Analysis: The vines are being personified when they wrestle for sunlight. Metaphor is used when the vines strange their own kin. Its antitheses because its peaceful things like vines and sunlight into an aggressive tone with the words strangling and wrestle.

- synecdoche, metaphor, and antithesis
The last girl in the line is compared metaphorically to a broom, and the way she walks is compared to a rhythmic limp, which is antithesis. "The rear one" is a representation of the last girl, making this a synecdoche.
tattered- ragged

"A choir of seedlings arching their necks out of rotted tree stumps." 
-antithesis, personification, synecdoche 
The author uses synecdoche to  represent the amount of seedlings by saying that there is a choir of seedlings. Personification is used when the author says that the seedlings are arching their necks for sunlight. The author is creating life out of death, because the seedlings are growing out of something dead. This is antithesis, because life and death are contrasting ideas.

"Her dark hair is tired in a ragged lace handkerchief, and her curved jawbone is lit with large, false-pearl earrings, as if these headlamps from another world might show the way."
2. In the quote, the author used synecdoche, similes, and personification to create a creative image of the girl. Synecdoche is used in the quote to describe one thing as another when the author writes "Headlamps from another world to show the way". Similes were used in the quote to compare on thing to another, when the author writes, "...her cured jawbone is lit with large, false-pearl earrings, as if these headlamps...". Lastly, personification is used in the quote to give human characteristics to non-human things, such as when the author writes, "...her curved jawbone is lit...:".
3. "A choir of seedlings arching their necks out of rotted tree stumps>"
The author used alliteration, personification, and antithesis. Personification was used when seedlings were said to arch their necks. Antithesis was used  to contrast the ideas of seedlings and rotted tree stumps. Lastly alliteration was used in the quote when the author wrote "...their necks out of rotted tree stumps.

Tattered- Ragged (as used in the quote)

2). "The one short and fierce, the other tall and imperious."(17)
Metaphor, Antithesis, Assonance
Sense the two characters are being compared to each other which makes it a metaphor. I put synecdoche because the first character represents the second character. last I put assonance because the constant sound of the letter "o" throughout the quote. 
3). "A choir of seedlings arching their necks out of rotted tree stumps."(7-8).  
Personification, Antithesis, Synecdoche
 The choir represents the seedling and the necks represents stems of the plants. This can be both a synecdoche and personification in the fact that its both applying human features on the stems and the neck also represents the stems.  Lively seedlings and rotted tree stumps represents antithesis.
4). Inexorable- impossible to stop, unmovable.
