    In “A Good Man is Hard to Find” by O’Connor Figurative language is used often by the characters, especially the grandmother who manipulates, which in return, leads to the families murder. In the short story the author gives small details of almost every character. When the author describes the mother’s face, she uses a simile writing, whose face is broad and innocent as a cabbage(pg 296).

  • Figurative Language In Theodore Roethke's The Root Cellar

    495 Words  | 1 Pages

    Although Theodore Roethke uses several examples of figurative language in his poem, “The Root Cellar,” two that stand out are his use of similes and personification. In line five, Roethke uses a simile to compare the roots and shoots to tropical snakes. From this example the reader can get an image of the roots slithering around the cellar looking for a way to break free. In the final line of “The Root Cellar,” Roethke uses personification when he says that the dirt in the cellar takes a breath. Anyone old enough to read knows that dirt does not actually breathe. This example is used to make the readers believe in never giving up. The dirt in the cellar will most likely never get to leave but it breaths anyways and is not giving up hope. Both of these examples of figurative language are used to help the reader get a better understanding of the real meaning of Roethke’s, “The Root Cellar.”
