TEWWG Online Assignment on Chapters 7-9

Chapters 7, 8, and 9 of "Their Eyes Were Watching God" have some fantastic examples of figurative language in them.  Before you read these chapters, and then as you read, complete the assignment below.  Your answers can be sharing by email or by a shared Google Doc, but they are due by MIDNIGHT on Monday, October 30.

Before you read:
Look up definitions and examples of these types of figurative language.  Share your definitions and examples with me by email or Google Doc by the due date:

• Metaphor
• Simile
• Personification
• Allusion
• Irony
• Alliteration

As you read:

Find examples of four of the six types of figurative language listed above in Chapters 7, 8, and 9.  Share your findings with me as a quote and a page number, by email or Google Doc.  You can do examples of four types, or multiple examples of one (four metaphors, or two metaphors and two examples of personification, etc.).

For extra credit points, share examples of all six types.

You are welcome to share this as either two separate emails/Docs or as one email/Doc with both parts of the assignment.  Either way, the entire assignment is due by midnight on Monday, October 30.
