Divergent

I'm reading this book called "Divergent" and I found a similie on page 38 of the text. It says "A pale ring of sunlight burns into the clouds like the end of a lit cigarette." I liked how they comepared the pale ring of sunlight and the end of a lit cigarette. I never really thought about like that. To me similies are the best figurative language because they all compare it to things to might not even thing of. Just how they got a sunlight and a cigar.

Compare and contrast

Ive read a poem called "Still I rise" and I also read bring me a dream. I compared the meaning to the texts because in the poem still I rise it says "You may write me down in history with your bitter, twisted lies, you may trod me down in the vary dirt but still, like dust, I'll rise." In the book it says "I tried to call dream deliveries", and this shows that the book Marshall tried to call dream deliveries. It means that Marshall will keep trying to rise until he finds out what's going on with dream delivers just like in still I rise, she will keep rising no matter what happens.
