Hello Pioneers,
Tonight you are going to find two examples of figurative language from the book you are reading at home (after 25 minutes of reading).
Here is a reminder of what figurative language definitions we have learned in class
Information from: http://mrswarnerarlington.weebly.com/figurative-language.html
Here is an example of what I am looking for in tonight's response.
Hello, I am reading the book "A Nest for Celeste" by Henry Cole.
1. Page 19 "The first rat, Illiana, had small, narrow-set eyes like a pair of black peppercorns and a tongue like a lancet." (SIMILE) This means that her eyes were very small and dark like a peppercorn. Also, her tongue was shaped thin with a sharp end.
