One of the many craft moves I was able to decipher was a simile. He is able to use this simile by writing, "There are many tinges of understanding as there are hues of green in a forest" (Zentner 3). In the previous paragraph, he speaks on how the human eye is able to tell apart many different shades of green due to human adaptation to survival and this is relevant to the quote I used because it shows how different others can understand a topic from one person to the next. As there are many shades of green, there are many different ways for someone to understand a topic. One may have to receive a verbal explanation while another may need to read it on paper, but that list of understanding goes on and on as do the shade of green.]]> 2023-08-21 16:15:14 UTC https://padlet.com/sjk4/t8clqonnov570zyu/wish/2667680504 https://padlet.com/sjk4/t8clqonnov570zyu/wish/2667680684 In the passage, In the Wild Light, Jeff Zentner provides us with a simile which is, ¨ The Pigeon River moves and pulses like a living creature ¨. This allows the reader to put a vision in their mind of what this river is flowing like. It compares the river to the pulse of a living animal. It allows the reader to be imaginative and engaged in the text creating pictures to help understand the story. ]]> 2023-08-21 16:15:27 UTC https://padlet.com/sjk4/t8clqonnov570zyu/wish/2667680684 himoore https://padlet.com/sjk4/t8clqonnov570zyu/wish/2667681089   Jeff Zentner, in his book In the Wild Light uses personification when he says "Now his appetite has moved to his lungs, which are always starved for air"(3).

He does this by using a simile. The greasy parts lay on the ground a pile of bones. "He laid the pieces out-reeking of dark oil and scorched steel-on a torn and greasy sheet, like the bones of an unearthed dinosaur"(Zenter 3).

Jeff Zentner wrote, "Like how the Pigeon River moves and pulses like a living creature" (4). Zentner uses this simile to describe how the Pigeon River's water flows and splashes, much like a moving and breathing animal he compares it to. Another example would be, "Trying to comprehend it is like trying to form a coherent thought in a dream" (Zenter 4). In this simile, Zenter compares Doyle's thought process and how it's hard to think in a dream. Trying to understand the way she thinks leaves the character with a fogged and confused mind. The author continues to write more similes and other figurative language throughout the novel, In the Wild Light. ]]> 2023-08-21 16:20:31 UTC https://padlet.com/sjk4/t8clqonnov570zyu/wish/2667685336 https://padlet.com/sjk4/t8clqonnov570zyu/wish/2667685377 In his novel In The Wild Light,I can decipher that Jeff Zentner uses a  simile as one of his craft moves.

In the passage he wrote " The logic of the wind. Signs and symbols. AN invisible order to the world. Complex things make sense to her and simple things dont" (Zenter 4) This gives a tone of that she doesnt understand everything and that simple things dont make sense to her .

One specific kind of imagery is this sentence, ¨Or how sometimes you can stand in a quiet parking lot on a hot afternoon and perfectly envension what it would have looked like there before humankind existed." This is a perfect example of how Zentner is using specific words like ¨ quiet ¨, ¨ hot afternoon ¨, and ¨ parking lot¨ to create an image inside of the readers head. It allows the reader to envision what it would be like for themselves to be standing there. It keeps them interested in the story especially if it relates back to them or has them involved.  ]]> 2023-08-21 16:23:37 UTC https://padlet.com/sjk4/t8clqonnov570zyu/wish/2667688851 https://padlet.com/sjk4/t8clqonnov570zyu/wish/2667688921 In the novel In the Wild Light, Jeff Zentner uses similes to compare different elements within the story. The first example is when Zentner compared the nature of the truck parts to dinosaur fossils, "He laid the pieces out-reeking of dark oil and scorched steel-on a torn and greasy sheet, like the bones of an unearthed dinosaur"(Zentner 3). Another example of this was when she compares the motions of the river to an actual living thing, "Like how the Pigeon River moves and pulses like a living creature..." (Zentner 6). So essentially she uses similies as a way to compare two completely different things, but somehow making it revelant to the actual story.]]> 2023-08-21 16:23:41 UTC https://padlet.com/sjk4/t8clqonnov570zyu/wish/2667688921 https://padlet.com/sjk4/t8clqonnov570zyu/wish/2667690448 In his novel In the Wild Light, Zentner uses figurative language to convey senses of understanding. In paragraph 8, Zentner states, "Trying to comprehend it is like trying to form a coherent thought in a dream. Every time you think you're there, it blurs" (Zentner 4). He uses this simile to illustrate the difference between his own mind and his friend, Delaney's. Later, Zentner asks a rhetorical question, "How do you tell someone what salt tastes like? Sometimes you just know the things you know" (Zentner 4). Zentner's use of figurative language creates a visual tone for the reader and makes his novel more engaging. ]]> 2023-08-21 16:25:21 UTC https://padlet.com/sjk4/t8clqonnov570zyu/wish/2667690448 https://padlet.com/sjk4/t8clqonnov570zyu/wish/2667690637 In the novel, In the Wild Light by Jeff Zentner, Zentner uses craft work in the form of similes. One example of this is when the author mentions rebuilding his papaw's truck with him. He mentions, "He laid the pieces out-reeking of dark oil and scorches steel-on a torn and greasy sheet, like the bones of an unearthed dinosaur" (Zentner 3). His Pawpaw then later goes on to explain that every piece and part is contributed to make the engine run, such as part of the body working together to provide a healthy life. ]]> 2023-08-21 16:25:34 UTC https://padlet.com/sjk4/t8clqonnov570zyu/wish/2667690637 https://padlet.com/sjk4/t8clqonnov570zyu/wish/2667690762 Zentner, in his novel In the Wild Light, uses a simile ¨How Delaney Doyle´s mind works, for example. trying to form a coherent thought in a dream¨ (Zentner 7). The author uses this because he is trying to explain how Deleneys mind works differently in a way that makes sense to her but not to somebody else. So it compares a dream to a coherent thought because in dreams you can´t really think coherently. ]]> 2023-08-21 16:25:41 UTC https://padlet.com/sjk4/t8clqonnov570zyu/wish/2667690762 hrburnha https://padlet.com/sjk4/t8clqonnov570zyu/wish/2667690865 In chapter one of In the Wild Light by Jeff Zenter, there are similes that are used in the chapter that help us visualize what is happening or to compare one thing to another to help us understand what the author is trying to say. For example, when the narrator introduces the topic of the different ways to understand things, they say that "There are as many tinges of understanding as there are hues of green in the forest" (Zentner 3). This simile is comparing the many kinds of understanding to all the shades of green that we can see. This simile helps us to understand that just like how there are many shades of green, there are many ways that people can understand different things. A simile that paints us a great image of the scene that we read is, "He laid the pieces out-reeking of dark oil and scorched steel-on a torn and greasy sheet, like the bones of an unearthed dinosaur" (Zentner 3). This simile gives us a clear picture in our heads about what the engine looked like as it laid it on the sheet. We can easily imagine what this workspace looked like, thanks to Jeff Zentner's simile. There is also a great description of what the engine smelled like, but that's not a part of the simile. That's just a wonderful description.]]> 2023-08-21 16:25:46 UTC https://padlet.com/sjk4/t8clqonnov570zyu/wish/2667690865 https://padlet.com/sjk4/t8clqonnov570zyu/wish/2667691130 In the novel In the Wild Light, the author, Jeff Zentner uses simile several times such as ¨There are as many tinges of understanding as there are hues of green in a forest¨(3). In the paragraph before this quote was stated he had mentioned how his friend had told him that the human eye can depict more green hues than it can in any other color. This qoute shows that there can be hundreds of different ways of understanding. ]]> 2023-08-21 16:26:03 UTC https://padlet.com/sjk4/t8clqonnov570zyu/wish/2667691130 https://padlet.com/sjk4/t8clqonnov570zyu/wish/2667692469 Jeff Zentner, the author of In the Wild Light, uses an engine to represent life. He did this by using a simile, "He laid the pieces out-reeking of dark oil and scorched steel-on a torn and greasy sheet, like the bones of an unearthed dinosaur." ( Zentner 4 ) Zentner explained that each piece contributed to making the engine run. As he previously described it to the bones of an unearthed dinosaur, an engine needs all its "bones" to function correctly, as does a dinosaur.]]> 2023-08-21 16:27:13 UTC https://padlet.com/sjk4/t8clqonnov570zyu/wish/2667692469 https://padlet.com/sjk4/t8clqonnov570zyu/wish/2667695221 Jeff Zentner
Zenter, in his novel In the Wild Light, uses characterization to describe how his best friend Delaney is misunderstood by a lot of people.

"Now his appetite has moved to his lungs, which are always starved for air. His breathing has the keening note of the wind blowing over something sharp.

He uses similes such "like the bones of an unearthed dinosaur" (Zentner 3) and "Like how the Pigeon River moves and pulses like a living creature" (Zentner 4) to help paint a picture and give the story more life. ]]> 2023-08-21 16:35:19 UTC https://padlet.com/sjk4/t8clqonnov570zyu/wish/2667700440 https://padlet.com/sjk4/t8clqonnov570zyu/wish/2667700684 In the novel, In the Wild Light, by Jeff Zentner, he uses tone. In his novel he stated, "My papaw pulled the engine out of his Chevy pickup and took it apart, letting me help him rebuild it. He laid the pieces out- reeking of dark oil and scorched steel- on a torn and greasy sheet, like the bones of an unearthed dinosaur" (Zentner, 3). This tone represents him saying without a complete engine with all of its parts, there is nothing. An engine can't start without all of the pieces connected, he referred to this as an unearthed dinosaur. An unearthed dinosaur has to develop body parts, its lungs, the heart, the brain and more. If the body parts don't develop right then most likely the dinosaur won't live and if the dinosaur is born, the dinosaur won't age very long. An engine will only run if everything is placed correctly and set in the places it should be, a dinosaur will only live for a long time if they develop their body parts, heart and brain properly. Zentner also stated the smell of the engine when the pieces got taken apart. He cited," Reeking of dark oil and scorched steel- on a torn and greasy sheet" (Zentner, 3). Zentner is describing how his papaw knew something was wrong with the engine when he took it apart, an engine shouldn't reek a smell of dark oil and scorched steel, just like a dinosaur shouldn't be born without accurate health and full development body parts. ]]> 2023-08-21 16:35:36 UTC https://padlet.com/sjk4/t8clqonnov570zyu/wish/2667700684 https://padlet.com/sjk4/t8clqonnov570zyu/wish/2667700986 In the novel In The Wild Light, Jeff Zentner uses compare and contrast to detail before he was sick and after he was sick. "He wasn't sick then.  Later, when he was, I understood that when he said Don't nobody live forever when accepting another piece of his sister Betsy's chess pie,that wasn't just a phrase he used. That was when he still had his appetite. Now his appetite has moved to his lungs,which are always starved for air. His breathing has the keening note of the wind blowing over something sharp. It's always there,which means he has something sharp inside him. People can't live long with sharp things in them" (Zentner 3-4).]]> 2023-08-21 16:35:59 UTC https://padlet.com/sjk4/t8clqonnov570zyu/wish/2667700986
