Question: Lovely Bones novel literature help!?
So there's a summer reading assignment that I was suppose to do for summer!. But I wasn't here for the last 2 weeks due to vacation I have not have it done!.
My teacher gave me 10 quotes, with the literary device that comes with it!.
I have to explain why each quote represents that literary device for the novel!.
Can you guys help me without saying stuff like "Dude, do it yourself", "You better start reading" bla bla!. I know, I'm lazy, but it's homecoming weak and I really don't feel like doing it!. If you're kind, and wanted to do me a favor, I appreciate it alot!.

Characters - "In Newspaper photos of missing girls from the seventies, most looked like me: white girls with mousy brown hair" Page 5

Flashback - "My dad likes to tell the story of once LIndsey was born, I was jealous that one day while he was on the phone in the other room, I moved the couch-he could see me from where he stood-and tried to pee on top of Lindsey in her carrier" Page 7

Figurative Language- "This is Neato!" Page 10

Metaphors "It felt harder even then the frozen earth" Page 9

Narration - "This is not how I died" Page 6

Personification -"They're afraid of more sink holes like the one that swallowed the cars" Page 372

Similes- "I though it marked me as literary" Page 5

Tone - The tone is Mysterious

Ok, each can give me one of the explanation help and I would be so thankful!. I'm sorry to bother you, thank you for your time!. God bless you!.Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Example: The quote for "Flashback" represents this literary device because the novel takes place in the present tense and the narrator is describing her family by looking into past events!. In this way, she can explain their reactions to her death!.

Similes -- this is a comparison between two things using like or as!. In this case, the narrator is comparing herself to literary people!.

Personification -- using words to make an inanimate object (the sinkholes) come alive (ability to swallow)!.
