Language Features
The language features we have found in this book are:
-Metaphors
-Similes
-Short Sentences
-Personification
-Imagery
-Rhetorical Questions
-Repetition
A few examples are:
"I turned back to the sea. It shone like a shattered mirror, each fragment reflecting and dazzling." -Simile
" And every word was flying zip-zap straight over my head! When was the bell going to sound? Come on...Come on..." -Rhetorical Question
"Can I kiss you?" My smile faded. I stared at my best friend. "Pardon?" "Can I kiss you?" -Repetition
"I wriggled my toes, enjoying the feel of the warm sand trickling like fine baby powder between them. Digging my feet even deeper into the dry, yellow-white sand." -Imagery
These language features help us to understand the story more, to know what the characters are thinking and feeling. Repetition can draw attention to and emphasise the ideas, themes and concepts. Short sentences can emphasise fear, speed and convey the fast-passed movement of the story. It can also help emphasise the importance of a certain event or concept.
