Find a brilliant example of word choice in this week’s text! Look for examples of the author "showing - not telling" by using sensory details within their writing.
Write the entire sentence and explain why you chose it. Please include page number.
Example:
"Bob’s face went ashen. His breathing came in ragged gasps." p.36
On pg. 7 the book said "All winter, snow had covered the ice; the pond lay cold and still under its white blanket." i think that paints a picture and it has figurative language.
ReplyDeleteThere is an example of "show, don't tell" on page 124, in chapter 12. White quotes "The boys danced and held their noses. Some of them held their stomachs and pretended to throw up." That shows how bad-smelling it is in the camp after the skunk squirted Mr. Brickle.
