Just as the food arrives at Mother and Father's table, a man appears with a mop and pail and starts to mop with Pine-Sol. The mo

p is a sweet stinky, and the smell is so strong that it makes you blink.
There are many stories of the Mexican obsession with cleaning. You have only to arrive in the Mexico City airport, step off the plane into the waiting area, and your first encounter with Mexican culture will be to dodge someone furiously mopping. Especially if it's in the middle of the day. "Cuidado! Watch out!" says a little yellow sign, warning you to watch your step on the damp floor.
adapted from Caramelo by Sandra Cisneros

Anne frank figurative Language
GuDViN [60]
The personification is: “deathly oppressive silence hangs over the house and clings to me as if it were going to drag me into the deepest regions of the underworld”
The extended metaphor is the line from “I wonder from room to room” to “a voice within me cries”, so the last 7 lines (sorry I didn’t feel like writing the quote out).
Anne is forced to stay in the house/attic every day to avoid being discovered. The attic itself is cramped and stuffy, especially with the 8 other people living there. She feels like a caged animal (a caged songbird in this case) because she is never allowed into the outside world.

Which techniques are used to engage a reader?
asambeis [7]
Reading up on the topics and finding the most interesting, shocking things about this topic.
Speaking to other people and find out why it motivates them.

Making yourself vulnerable as a writer is a key to being a successful writer. Dare to expose why you are personally invested in a topic and how it has affected you. Share your story – nobody else can tell it. Be flexible about sharing some details. You do not have to tell your life story in order to get people to listen – just share some information that is interesting and revolves around a certain topic. 

For example, if you were writing about ice cream, make it personalized. Writing like a robot can make even ice cream sound unappetizing. Nobody really wants to read an article that begins with, “Ice cream tastes great. Many people like it.” Try something more personal: “The first time I took a delicious, creamy morsel of frozen, chocolately ice cream into my mouth, I smiled, and proceeded to eat the whole bowl.” 


Hope this helps.  :)
