So, I'm so excited to be starting this new book with you! Your mission on this blog, should you choose to accept, is to find examples of figurative language (idioms, similes, metaphors, hyperbole or personification) in Chapter 1.
Please write the type of figurative language, the actual sentence from the story, and the page you found it on!
I'll make the first comment! Have fun...
Hyperbole - p.14 - Captain Swain says to Jack, "You'll work as ship's boy. I'll run your legs off - and that's letting you off easy."
ReplyDelete"I'll run your legs off" is hyperbole, exaggeration. He means he's going to work him very hard!
