Blog Post #23- "Firestorm"

Give one example of each of these from the chapter:

Imagery (or descriptive language used in literature that appeals to the readers senses; makes you imagine)
"Her hard-baked shoes were slippery, and her sodden knapsack seemed to weigh a ton.  As she leaned forward, a gloved hand reached up to grab the front of the board.  A face came up from the water, wearing some sort of mask.  Huge eyes stared up at her." p.176

Personification (or giving non-human things, human characteristics)
"Tally gulped a few breaths of smoky air, then was slapped in the face by a wave." p.175-176

Simile (or a comparison using "like" or "as")
"Her footsteps ignited with flame as she ran through the blackened flowers, like stabbing a poker into a slumbering fire." p.173

Blog on.
