Question 8: Rebecca Hall, Corinne McConnell & Alex Wikoff
Five tropes in Chapter 48 in the paragraph beginning with "It was a sight full of quick wonder and awe. . .":
'
1. "like gigantic bowls in a boundless bowling-green" simile, uses like to compare
2. "the brief, suspended agony of the boat" Peronification: the author describes the ship as a being that can experience emotions such as agony.
3. "knife-like edge of the sharper waves" Metaphor: waves are depicted as knife like; sensory image that appeals to the reader. Example of metonymy-image of knife replaces waves.
4. "the sudden profound dip into the watery glens and hollows" Metaphor: waves = glens and hollows
5. "like a wild hen after her screaming brood" Simile: compares two objects who seem to bear no resemblance to one another: a hen and a ship
