Figurative Language
A blind rage like a fire swept over him

A book that rends and tears like a broken saw

A breath of melancholy made itself felt like a chill and
sudden gust from some unknown sea

A cloud in the west like a pall creeps upward

A cloud like a flag from the sky

A cluster of stars hangs like fruit in the tree

Figurative Language
In-class Journal Assignment

                  The writer Anton
                  Chekhov wrote:


 “Don’t tell me the moon is shining;
 show me the glint of light on broken
 glass.”

 What does this mean to you?
Quiz
Following Chekhov’s advice, take
these statements and make them
more descriptive:

It sure is cold today.

The blizzard dropped a lot of snow.

Tonight’s forecast is for even more
cold weather.
My tentative thesis
Ray Bradbury’s Dandelion Wine is
one of my favorites because the
theme concerns a “coming-of-age”
story for the main character, the
language that Bradbury uses in the
book is almost poetic, and the
symbols in the story reflect the life
of not only the boy, but the town he
lives in.
My topic sentences
• The theme of the book is about a young boy
  who becomes a man during one summer of
  his young life.

• Ray Bradbury uses such wonderful figurative
  language throughout the book that it’s almost
  poetic.

• The symbols used by Bradbury reflect the life
  of not only the boy, but the town he lives in.
Summing it up

Ray Bradbury’s poetic novel,
Dandelion Wine , is a classic
story of not only a boy
becoming a man, but also
shows how the town he lives in
changes and grows along with
him.
To be turned in also:

Take your tentative thesis that
you’ve been working on and reword
it again---this time condense all of
your three main points into just one
statement that sums up the main
idea of your paper.
Homework for Monday, 12/12

Using your tentative thesis, topic
sentence outline, and conclusion, work
on your first draft of your essay. Quote
one of your outside sources in your
paper, and include a Works Cited entry
at the end of your essay. Post this in
your online journal.
