Divergent Blog Post 4/21/4/27

     I highly recommend the book Divergent  by Julia Roth to everybody reading this blog. Veronica does an amazing job of using elements that we have been learning in class; such as commas, dashes, single quotation marks, rhetoric. syntax, diction, figurative language, and allusions. Four specific examples of figurative language stand out to me the most.

     A simile. "Each minute wears into me like a scrape of sandpaper" (Roth 229).

     A metaphor. "Surrounding his head is a halo of blood" (Roth 202).

     Personification. " My fingernails bite my palms" (Roth 161).

     And a hyperbole. "... my heart will burst out of my chest any minute now" (Roth 38).

     These example are a few of many literary written into the book. I highly encourage you to read this book and after you've seen these examples... I don't see how you could say no.
