An Image: “I went out again that night. Garages backlit like Hollywood sets; bushes like hanged men; windows bulging like eyeballs; a third-floor bedroom painted a childlike red. I looked in garden sheds, in parking lots, in backyards. I whispered his name down dark stairwells.”
Three New Words:
Exhilarating--- making lively and cheerful Monotonous---tediously repetitious or lacking in variety Reassurance---the act of reassuring; restoring someone`s confidence Bewilderment---confusion resulting from failure to understand.
Two Devices:
1. “It looked rather odd, a six-year-old boy with his hands on his chest. Like an old man or someone in a coffin.” (simile) 2. “I think she was afraid to jinx the situation by injecting poison into the air.” (metaphor)
Roman lost his son and felt into a hopeless cave that he can hardly get himself to calm down. Searching Simon is the only thing that he can control himself to maintain.
