In November Figurative Language

146 Words1 Pages
I can analyze the author's style in the book, In November. The author, Cynthia Rylant, style is that she loves to use the figurative language of personification. She also uses good choices of words. Her word choice is very descriptive. I know this because, in the book the author uses personification in every other sentence. In the story, the authors says,"The trees are standing still". She also says, "The air is full of goodbyes" and, "The stars are brittle'. The author's word choice is descriptive because she describes how the leaves fall, how her family gathers together to eat a big Thanksgiving feast, and then how sad it is when they have to leave. For example, Cynthia Rylant uses this type of style because this is what helps her write.
