Hello, New Mooners! LOL!
Here is your blog/New Moon task for the week. For chapters 4-7, find examples from the book that show PARADOX, OXYMORON, IRONY (verbal, situational or dramatic), PUN, or HYPERBOLE. Of the five literary tools, you must find examples for at least three. You can use the Literary Tools Handout to the left for a review. (I will fix it by tonight; I see the file is corrupted.) This is due by Friday, 10/9 at 7 a.m.
Remember to indicate the page number, and don't use the same one someone else has used.
Have fun with this!!!

Irony: I sat down on the bench outside the theater door and tried very hard not to think of the irony. But it was ironic, all things considered, that, in the end, I would wind up as a zombie. page 106
Paradox: The nigtmare was nagging at my mind and making me think about things that would cause me pain. page 123
Oxymoron: For the first time in more than four months, I'd slept without dreaming. Dreaming or screaming. I couldn't tell which emotion was stronger the relief or the shock. page 142
Hey Mrs :D
How are you!
Well here it is :)
Situational Irony: I waited for the numbness to return, or the pain. Because the pain must be coming. I'd broken my personal rules. Instead of shying away from the memories, I'd walked forward and greeted them. I'd heard his voice, so clearly, in my head. That was going to cost me, i was sure of myself. I felt too alert, and that frightened me. Pg#116. (when she thought that she was just going to walk away, but instead she keep on walking toward the guys.)
Hyperbole: In a place where I could never imajine him, the conviction night fade.. and that I could noy live trough. Forbidden to remember, terrified to forget; it was a hard line to walk. Pg#116-117.(Whens shes thinking that she cannot PERIOD live without Edward... I think shes making it to much of a big deal.. so move on dude).
Pun: When I realized that there was nothing to seach for, and nothing to find. That there never would beanything more for me.. nothing but nothing...pG#123.(I thinks that a good example because she keeps on saying the same thing again and again. That they their is nothing left. )
Have a good weekend !
Love you! :D

Hi you all.
We are going to have to go over the terms in class again. Make sure you are using the lit tools properly. I still want you to do the activity, but just be careful.
Love you!
Assignment.
Hyperbole; PG -132
"Yes,absolutely. I just wanted to see Jacob-I haven't seen him in forever."
Irony; PG -114
Situational irony: I suffered a curious sensation of disappointment that this was not the terrible man who had tried to hurt me almost a year ago.
OR
I lay still in my bed for a few minutes, waiting for it to come back. Because something must be coming back. I waited, but nothing happened. I felt more rested than I had in a long time. -PG 142.
Paradox: PG -144
A strange feeling of warmth bubbled up in my throat, despite the icy pain splattering on my cheeks.
So we have to doit again??

heyy geisa
Paradox: As much as I struggle not to think of him, I did not struggle to forget. I worried-late in the night, when the exhaustion of sleep deprivation broke down my defenses-that it was all slipping away. That my mind was a sieve,and I would someday not be able to remember the precise color of his eyes, the feel of his cold skin, or the texture of his voice. I could not think of them, but I must remember them.PG:116
hyperbole:It would be like taking a sixty-mile-per-hour bath.Pg.127
situational irony: So many promises I kept... It clicked together for me then. I wanted to be stupid and reckless, and I wanted to break promises. Why stop at one? That's as far as I though it through. I sloshed through the rain to the Markses' front door and rang the bell. "How much do you want for the bike?" I panted, jerking my thumb over my shoulder toward the sales display.pg.127
Irony- I remembered the first day I'd come to Forks High School- how desperately I'd wish that I could turn gray, fade into the wet concrete of the sidewalk like an oversized chameleon. It seemed I was getting that wish answered, a year late.(Page 152)
Paradox- He made a disgruntled face, as if the stunt personally offended him. It surprised me a little. I would have thought Jacob was nearly impossible to upset.(Page 171)
Hyperbole- I was beginning to get annoyed with myself. I might as well have been packed in Styrofoam peanuts through the last semester. (Page 153)
