It is the opposite of a simile. In the book Night, Elie uses a metaphor on page 61. He said, "An inmate with three years in concentration camps behind him. He was tall and strong, a giant compared to me." Elie compared himself to this man without using like or as.]]> 2018-11-28 18:15:59 UTC https://padlet.com/mathew_peck/p7tw9cffxwji/wish/308952803 dominic_brabant https://padlet.com/mathew_peck/p7tw9cffxwji/wish/308955154 Comparison using "like" or "as".
Real World: He was as fast as a cheetah
Pg. 95: "it was as if Juliek's soul had become his bow,".
This shows us how well Juliek was playing and how the violin mean't so much to him

Danger of Death." This is Irony because they are in a German concentration camp and there is death everywhere they go.]]> 2018-11-28 18:26:26 UTC https://padlet.com/mathew_peck/p7tw9cffxwji/wish/308960445 christopher_miller7 https://padlet.com/mathew_peck/p7tw9cffxwji/wish/308960712 An extreme exaggeration
Real World: He was going 1,000 mph!
Pg. 58: "I nodded, once, ten times, endlessly." Elie was really scared of Idek at this point that he felt like he was nodding to understand for eternity. ]]> 2018-11-28 18:26:48 UTC https://padlet.com/mathew_peck/p7tw9cffxwji/wish/308960712 jacob_nolt https://padlet.com/mathew_peck/p7tw9cffxwji/wish/309426755 Personification is when an author gives human characteristics to nonhuman things, for example in the book Night, Elie is talking to his father and he says the words are choking him and paralyzing his lips. Another example is, "The wind howled in the night." This is giving something that is not alive a human characteristic so it is personification. I think that personification adds more detail to what the author is thing to describe.]]> 2018-11-29 17:24:04 UTC https://padlet.com/mathew_peck/p7tw9cffxwji/wish/309426755 mathew_peck https://padlet.com/mathew_peck/p7tw9cffxwji/wish/309430345 When Key details give hints towards what will happen in the future. In the book Night an example of this is shown on page 82 when Elie was talking with his father about leaving his father asked whether or not he will be able to walk.  An example of foreshadowing is when the author gives hints towards a characters intentions or future. The meaning this adds to the book is that in a way they will always be running from the Nazi's and will never have a normal life again. This gives the reader the feeling that they will have a choice to make about fleeing from the Nazi's or staying. ]]> 2018-11-29 17:29:14 UTC https://padlet.com/mathew_peck/p7tw9cffxwji/wish/309430345
