Figurative Language Used In All Summer In A Day

Figurative lange,it’s in almost everything we read. From similes to metaphors,from pomes to short stories.Figurative lange is used in almost everything we read. It helps us get a better under standing of what’s going on. To be abel to visulize whats happening. This is especially true for one story. “All summer in A Day”. Figurative langue is used a lot in this story. I prepos to you today that figurative language helps develop a more complet theme and helps us the read under stand what is going on better.

Now,I would say their is one main theme. Witch is the children will always bully or make fun of the one who stick out or the one that is differnt. This Idea is played with a lot in the story. So all the kids have lived on Venes there whole

They are used alot in this story. On example is, “The chilern pushed together like so many roses,so many weeds.” this metaphor is basically saying that all the kids are to gether but,there are so many bad kids,repersented by the weeds.That yes there might be several good kids,repersented by the roses.That they are out shined.Makeing the roses the odd ones out. The next thing is when it says “Her pail snow face” and “She photograph dusted from and album”. These are both metaphors. The first one is helping us visulis. Now what I think it is meaning is that by her having a pail snow face it is like the colour is dranid out of her. This ties in with the second one witch compares her to a dusty photographe. She looksin a way like a husk of who she was. Now rather this being from her not getting sun light or the more likely one the conset bullying it has made her less of her self in a way. She looks old dasted of like something or in this case someone who was forgotten. This help convey the idea that she is different. She stands out from the other kids. Around the same time in the stroy when she is compared to a photographe she is trying to explain to the kids what the sun is like. She says “ It’s like a penny” and It’s like fire.” both simiels. The penney example relating to it’s shape and colour and the fire analage relating to the heat and light it gives off. This really would help the kids

One such example is the uses of Irony. Now this is only used onec or twice but, I think it is used in a vary good way. This ironic sene happens after the lock Margot in a closet just befor the sun comes out and they all get to go out side. While there out in the sun this is said “Sun on there cheeks like a warm iron”. This is kinda like what Margot said about the sun. In this simile it says that the sun on there checks where like warm iron. Margot used an analogy earlier kinda similar to this when she compared it to the fire. The sun is warm just like the fire and just like Margot said it would be. Once the kids get back inside and the sun is gone onec more.They relize someting,that Margot was right about the sun.All the things she had said about it where true. They relizes the she was still in the closet they had locked her in. Non of them wanted to more to go get her. Almost as if they felt bad for what they had done. I think another reason is that they did not want to admit to her that they where wrong and that she was right. She was the wired social out cast they didn’t want anything to do with her. But,in an ironic fate she was right.Maybe they rejected bullying her about
