<font color=pink>I know there are some extremely intelligent people here, so does anyone know a good piece of prose(like an exerpt from a book)that is loaded in figuritve language and similies and metaphors and stuff? Id b really nice if ya could find some 4 me :D </font>

<font color=Orange>Whats Figuritive Language?</font>

Any particular subject or style? Political, Scientific, or generic? Is poetry allowed? [img]graemlins/1ponder.gif[/img]

<font color=pink>You'll learn when youre older sweety :D </font>

<font color=pink>No poetry unfortunately. Its just some piece of prose that really stood out to you when you read it, doesnt matter what kind</font>

For metaphoric / simile descriptive writing Steinbeck is excellent, check out the first chapter of The grapes of Wrath for that Ms Blue

<font color=Orange>But LB! Can't you just give me a brief description?</font>

<font color=pink>Unfortunatley i dont have a Steinbeck book on me, i read GoW for English this year, i really enjoyed it. perhapsishouldmentionthatthisisformyenglishfinalwh ichistomorrow :D </font>

<font color=pink>*groans* Cant you ask your english teacher? Bah, well...its like when youre looking for figurative language in a passage, your looking for similie, allusion, metaphor, personification...stuff like that. But this aint no english lesson!</font>

okay.... got any Peter Straub ?? wait who have you got what are your options

<font color=Orange>Lord of the Rings has LOTS of stuff like that. Why don't you root around in there? If you have the books, of course!</font>
