Title: City of bones
Author: Cassandra Clare
Pages: 0-169
Prompt: How does it show imagery and what type of figurative language does this book use.
The City of bones is a book that I have had the chance to love it the deeper i get into it. This is an amazing book that should be ready by all young adults. It's full of action ,adventure and magic the best books always have magic. In this book they don't like to be called wizards or witches because they aren't thats not what they do. They are shadow hunters said to be descendants of angels and demons. What the shadow hunters do is fight the demons and try to protect the mundanes(humans) from there attacks on earth. In this book there have been numerous battles where Clary is trying to find her mother with the help of Jace. On there way to find clues they are meet with terrible battles that have broken there legs and arms. To find out more and how they survive read this book.
In the story I have found many types of imagery which is good because i am only in the beginning of the story. In this book imagery is an important part of this book in the 2 second chapter they use imagery to describe the Demon that is attacking Clary. "It was crouched against the floor , a long , scaled creature with a cluster of flat black eyes set dead center in the front of its domed skull. Something like a cross between an alligator and a centipede, it had a thick , flat snout and a barbed tail that whipped menacing from side to side. Multiple legs bunched underneath it as it readied it self to spring." this is a perfect example for me of imagery it tells us about how the Demon looked and how it readied it self to spring at Clary. This also uses figurative language the type it uses is a simile " Something like a cross between an alligator and a centipede"this uses the word like to describe how the body of the demon looks.
In another parts of the book there is imagery and figurative language another example would be. "He ducked, and it thunked heavily into the banister, biting deep." This is onomatopoeia and personification becasue it uses biting and its giving it to the axe. It also uses thunk to tell the sound it made. The second example of imagery is "Looming over him like a giant in a fairy tale was an enormous man, big around as an oak tree, a broad bladed axe clutched in one gigantic dead-white hand. Tattered filthy rags hung over his grimy skin, and his hair was a single matted tangle , thick with dirt." This type of imagery tells me about how the forsakens look (forsakens- people that grow to enormous sizes after they die).

Good work this week. I can tell you are very interested by this book. There seems to be a lot of action which is cool. I feel like you did a very good job telling how the incorporation of imagery and figurative language played a large role in your book.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Gustavo that books are better with magic. After reading this blog this book sounds very interesting and very action packed, I might read this in the future.
