$100 Answer from Figurative
Language
“The man was a human tree in height”
(Taylor 34).
$100 Question from Figurative
Language
What is a metaphor? Mr. Morrison’s
massive frame is compared to the size
and look of a tree. The comparison
becomes an extended metaphor
whenever the rest of his body is also
compared to a “long trunk” (Taylor
34).
$200 Answer from Key Terms
“At first, the rain had merely splotched the
dust, which seemed to be rejoicing in its
own resiliency and laughing at the heavy
drops thudding against it” (Taylor 42).
$200 Question from Key Terms
What is personification? By
personifying the dust, Taylor shows
how dry it had been before the hard
rain. The dust was resilient, meaning
dry, hot conditions were reluctant to
give way to a wet Mississippi.
$300 Answer from Figurative
Language
“Five minutes later we were skidding
like frightened puppies as the bus
accelerated and barreled down the
narrow rain-soaked road” (Taylor 48).
$300 Answer from Figurative
Language
What is simile? As the bus surprises
the children, they are compared to
puppies who are suddenly frightened
by something unexpected. This
comparison shows just how vulnerable
the children felt as they walked to
school each day.
$400 Answer from Figurative
Language
“Just one word outa you, T.J.,” he
said tightly. “Just one word.”
“Hey, man, I ain’t said nothin’! I’m
just as burnt as you are” (Taylor 48).
$400 Question from Figurative
Language
What is an idiom? By saying that he’s
“burnt,” T.J. is trying to express that he
is also upset about what the bus driver
did to Little Man. Within the context
(the situation), one can tell that the
children are burning with anger and
frustration.
$500 Answer from Figurative
Language
“Expecting to see the yard-wide
ditch we had dug at noon, we were
not prepared for the twelve-foot
lake which glimmered up at us”
(Taylor 53).
$500 Question from Figurative
Language
What is hyperbole? The hole had not
turned into a lake and was not twelve
feet in depth. If it had become that
deep, the bus would have become
submerged in the water. The point of
this hyperbole is to emphasize that the
hole had become much more
noticeable and dangerous.
