STB Summative part 3

It was a serine July day and the sun was bright red similar to a ruby studded with diamonds. The sun starts to set alongside with it's brightness as my heart starts to hum even louder than a red dragons roar. That is when I started to think of my love. The nights becomes smooth and gentle, softer than the walk of a red ladybug. As the sun set the bright red light in my heart gleamed brighter and redder than the sun. That was when I knew my love was greater than the sun.

Some literary devices that were also quite present in Salvage The Bones were metaphors. An example is when Esch was describing the geographic features of Bois Savauge. She said that the area where the black people were was the " black heart" and compared the area where the white people live to "pale arteries". This use of this metaphor helps explain the set up of the town both physically and socially. It also help understand the contrast.

The use of this metaphor differs from the use of the metaphor in " A Letter to God". The use of the metaphor in "A letter to God" is to help show the severity of things while the metaphor in Salvage The Bones helps show the contrast in an area. I would say that the metaphor used in Salvage The Bones was significant due it's topic and relation to the real world

My group was assigned " A Letter to God" by Gregoria Lopex y Fuentes. There were a lot of literary devices in this short story. The first literary device I notice is imagery. The short story starts of talking about a house and describing it's surroundings. This imagery is very necessary because it helps paint a picture in the audience's head. Without the the image there would be a loss of a connection between the short story and the audience. This imagery also allows the audience to have a more of an accurate representation of the the set up.

The next literary device that was actually quite prominent was metaphors. For an example " Very large hailstones began to fall. These truly did resemble new silver coins". This comparing the hail to silver coins help audience understand that hail was heavy. Without the metaphor the severity of the hail would not be best described.

Another example I had of a metaphor was when Lencho was compared to an ox. It helps the reader understand how hardworking Lencho is. It also helps with the set up of the rest paragraph.

These are just a few examples of literary devices in " A Letter to God"
