Figurative language is used to enhance poetry and its meaning. By the things that it does and helps you kind of imagine it better when you see figurative language. Also it can enhance its meaning by it being there and you seeing what kind of figurative language it is. Also it helps you visualize what the poem is trying to tell you.

 

Some of the types of figurative language are Alliteration, Onomatopoeia, Simile,  metaphor, and Hyperbole. These all can help you in poetry to help the reader understand what you are trying to say. Also they can help you know their meaning by it just being in the sentence so you can see it and try to understand what the meaning of it is. Also it can help you by just seeing the simile or metaphor.
Figurative language also can enhance its meaning when it is in poetry. It can enhance its meaning by you being able to know what it is. That can help you because if you know it then you know the meaning already, but you can enhance it by you try to make it better. Also you can enhance its meaning by putting a lot of figurative language in it.

blog prompt 5/2

I can not even Imagine how It would be to be in the Nazi Invasion It would be so scary. Because you would die I would actually want to live my whole life. Why would the Nazi’s kill everyone that did nothing. The leader Adolf Hitler was a very weird man. He did stuff that no other person would do like kill millions and millions of people for no reason.

 

The encounter with the nazis affected annemarie because it probably scared her and she was really nervous about talking to them. I would be scared and ready to defend myself if I was that situation. I would be ready to defend myself because one of them could strike at me. I couldn’t imagine it though.

 

That is what we think about the question. What do think about the question. We both thought it would be scary to experience what AnneMarie experienced. Also we both thought the Nazi’s were very bad people who killed the jews.

week 7 blog challenge

Board games were invented in 5000 b.c.Most people don’t realize board games are actually pre-historic, meaning we had board games before we had written language. So, what was the very first game?Dice A piece that’s essential in most board games today was the basis of humanity’s oldest games.

A series of 49 small carved painted stones were found at the 5,000-year-old Başur Höyük burial mound in southeast Turkey. These are the earliest gaming pieces ever found. Similar pieces have been found in Syria and Iraq and seem to point to board games originating in the Fertile Crescent.They were invented in Eourope.

Once I was standing outside and a package came in the mail. I opened it and inside were a package of magic seeds. Also inside was a note that says these are seeds that grow whatever you want. so I decide to try them. I think of something to grow, and then it hits me. I should start with something small. So I ” grow me a book,” I wait. Then 5 minutes later it appears right in front of me. I say it works. I wonder if it will grow something big like a car. so I decide to try that. Then it is there in front of me again. Then I say “I only have a couple left i should save them for later.”

I also thought I was going to go home, which I didn’t want to because right after I was going to the best teacher ever named Miss Hecker

Drama can help you better understand the characters viewpoints because the characters are speaking. When the characters talk they  can express their feeling. In a drama they can also express their emotions or feelings by typing. Speaking also can show what they might do next. For example they might say that they are going to go get the mail, then we know what they are going to do next. This is how I think drama can help see the viewpoints of the characters better.

 

Drama can also help you better understand the character’s viewpoint by the character acting. When the characters act they also express themselves. If the characters don’t speak then they act. The actions of the characters show us what they are doing when they are acting. This is how we think drama can help see the viewpoints of characters better.

 

Drama can help you understand characters by you imagining them better. They can help you imagine them better because they act it out. When they act it out you can see them and imagine what they are thinking. Also it can help you understand characters better by their actions. This can help you because you can see that their mad or sad or happy. Also something else that can help you understand the characters is the setting.
