         <description><![CDATA[<div>“Now the battle was at its highest”(127) this quote describes the storm and that it is at the peak. This is an example of a metaphor because it is comparing a storm to a battle.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>“A furious blast roared through the trees, making everything sing as it went.” (126-127)This describes the wind and how aggressive it was. This is showing personification because it is saying that the wind is singing.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>“One blinding flash after another came,” (127). This quote shows how bright the lightening was. It is also a metaphor because it is comparing the blinding light to a really bright lightening strike.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>“The storm culminated in one matchless effort…to tear the island to pieces, burn it up, drown it to the treetops, blow it away and deafen every creature in it,” (127).<br><br>This is the best quote because it shows how all the aspects of the storm (rain, wind, etc) are working together and nothing could last up against it.&nbsp;This is also personification because the storm cannot actually tear things apart or blow it away, etc.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>“And the boys felt a fleeting breath upon their cheeks…” (126) This is describing the wind softly blowing on their cheeks. “Breath” is personification because it uses the human characteristic breathing to replace wind.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>“Slanting veil of rain.” This quote explains how hard it was raining, it was a dangerous thing to be described in a blunt, dangerous way. This is a hyperbole, as it isn’t actually a slanting veil, or sheet of rain. It’s raining hard, but not hard enough to realistically be a veil of rain.</div>]]></description>

This explains how the storm was very harsh, causing trees to crash down, and the thunder to burst explosively and in earsplitting bursts.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>“Then a faint moan came sighing through the branches of the forest, and the boys felt a fleeting breath upon their cheeks, and shuddered with the fancy that the Spirit of the Night had gone by,” (126).<br><br><br>This is describing when the boys feel the wind of the storm, as well as hear thundering. I think this is personification because wind cannot breathe, and thunder cannot actually moan. This is the best  quote because it does an amazing job of putting the reader in the scene. </div>]]></description>

This is describing everything the storm is doing, and also the things that it has affected about the environment.</div>]]></description>

This makes the lightning seem like a brighter thing than it is.</div>]]></description>

Then a faint moan came sighing through the branches of the forest, and the boys felt a fleeting breath open their cheeks,” (126).<br>This part shows how the boys pretty much saw the storm and use a lot of descriptive language.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>“A deep peal of thunder went rolling and tumbling down the heavens, and lost itself in the sullen rumblings in the distance.”<br>I chose this quote from page 126 because it’s dramatic and shows how loud the thunder and noises of the storm are and how they’re probably drowning out every other nearby sound, and it makes the storm sound powerful and dangerous.<br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>“Beyond the light of the fire, everything was swallowed up in the blackness of darkness. Presently there came &amp; quivering glow that vaguely revealed the foliage for a moment and then vanished.”<br><br>This is an example of imagery because the text describes the darkness and then the sudden lightning strike in a very detailed way. I think that this is a great piece of descriptive language because it really creates a picture in the reader’s mind. When a reader reads this part they can imagine the pitch black darkness then quickly changing into the quivering glow that illuminates their surroundings. They can see the foliage around the boys briefly light up as the lightning strikes. This is why this piece of descriptive language is so good, it’s because the reader can really feel the words of the text.</div>]]></description>

And now a drenching rain poured down, and the rising hurricane drove it in sheets along the ground.”&nbsp;<br><br>I chose these lines from the text because it shows how intense the storm was and how it got worse and worse. This shows imagery because I can picture how crazy the storm was. </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>“A furious blast roared through the trees” (126). This describes how strong the wind was and how much it affected the trees. This is an example of a personification because the wind “roars” which is a human quality&nbsp;that natural things cant do.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>“…and the boys felt a fleeting breath upon their cheeks,…” (126)<br><br>I think this quote is most descriptive because it describes how the wind feels on the boys cheeks. It also personified the wind by saying “fleeting breath” because wind can not take a breath, so it is personifying saying it can breathe and it helps me imagine how the wind feels. </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>"The a faint moan came signing through the branches of the forest," (126). This is personification because it personifies the thunder as moaning and singing.

         <description><![CDATA[<div>My favorite quote is a personification that describes thunder. “A deep peal of thunder went rolling and tumbling down the heavens,” (126). This is my favorite because of how descriptive and different it is. It’s a personification because thunder can’t actually tumble and roll. </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>There was a lot of amazing descriptive language in this text, but if I had to choose one, it would be this: “A deep peal of thunder went rolling and tumbling down the heavens, and lost itself in sudden rumblings in the distance,” (126).&nbsp; I chose this quote because it has personification, since thunder can’t roll or tumble.&nbsp; Mark Twain was emphasizing that the thunder was so high that it was acting like this in the heavens.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>“Then a faint moan came sighing through the branches of the forest, and the boys felt a fleeting breath upon their cheeks, and shuddered with the fancy that the Spirit of the Night had gone by.” This personifies the wind making it able to moan and breath and goes into greater detail, for example, it said branches of the forest instead of trees. It makes it very descriptive.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>“A deep peal of thunder went rolling and tumbling down the heavens, and lost itself in sullen rumblings in the distance,” (126). I chose this line because it shows how there was a loud clap of thunder, and it shows how it quietly went about and how it slowly got quieter without actually just saying that it got quieter. This is an example of personification.</div>]]></description>

I chose this quote because it’s very descriptive and it’s a hyperbole, meaning that it’s an exaggeration and I think it was very well written. This quote really helps us picture how intense the storm was. It’s also personification because the storm itself can’t literally tear the island up. I also really like how this quote is talking about everything the storm does/has, like the wind, rain, lightning, etc because it shows how powerful the storm is.</div>]]></description>
