No poetry unfortunately. Its just some piece of prose that really stood out to you when you read it, doesnt matter what kind

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

*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!

Sir Goulum · 06-10-2002, 07:53 PM

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!
