And no! I'm not talking about the end of the school year, I'm referring to the end of the novel we've been reading together in class, Julie of the Wolves by Jean Craighead George.
Because she is such a gifted and extremely descriptive writer, I once again want you to look for an example of figurative language in the book today that you particularly like.
1. Quote the figurative language you chose (make sure to use quotation marks!)
2. Identify the type of figurative language it is. (simile, metaphor, onomatopoeia, personification, hyperbole, idiom, alliteration, imagery etc.)
3. Lastly, tell me why you picked it.
