Final HF Rhetoric

Final Rhetoric

By Gabe

1. On page 147. It says when Octavian Is thinking to himself during his music class, “I shall play this passage indicating the burning of bread, or, the collapse of a chimney…” I thought it was very good description and sorta like a SIMILE.

2. On page 219,  When Octavian Questions his mom and she says this METAPHOR “It was hard … thus … to learn English … this language of wood.” I like that she compared that English is hard like wood,I think thats what she is trying to say.

3. On page 290. Ev wrote to Shun and using this personification “ We see the Redcoats crawl on the Mudflats at Low Tides.” Redcoats can’t crawl, but humans can.  

4. On page 287 Goring writes to Fruition using these personification “ How thrives a City when its Neck is slit?.” A city does not have a throat to slit.

5. On page 350 Octavian specks of the grass “ The grass were no shorter than we…” it was a great example of a comparison.
