Figurative Language

  • "...confines me to flophouses and trailer homes—like the one, a pleasing fifteen-minute drive from town, that has no air-conditioning, no screens, no fans, no television..." (Simile)
  • "...I note with satisfaction, look pretty much like me—faded ex-hippie types in shorts with long hair pulled back in braids." (Simile)
  • "It was a grayish-yellow day that burns red in my memory... a day that easily rises to the surface when I contemplate the most horrible days of my life." (Personification)
  • "The nine dancing puppets- excuse me, rotating presidents- were exclusively selected from the 'Governing Council', an interim council chosen by the CPA." (Kenning)
