We can say the writer uses language to describe the garden in the following manner:
- The writer's word choice conveys a sense of mess and disorganization.
- Words such as "overgrown mess," "muddle of trees and shrubs," "gnarled growth," and "mass of nettles and brambles" help readers visualize the garden that has not been taken care of.
- The writer's word choice and use of figurative language also convey eeriness.
- Some of the figurative language used are imagery (language that appeals to the senses), personification (human-like behaviors or qualities attributed to inanimate objects), and metaphors or similes (comparison).
- For example, "its knuckles in the earth like a gigantic malformed hand" is a simile that compares the tree to a scary looking hand.
- "The trunk of the tree was snarled with the tangled ivy . . ., choking it" uses imagery and personification to help readers visualize the tree and the ivy that wraps it.
- Figurative language consists in using words with meanings that go beyond their literal, original meaning.
- Examples of figurative language are:<u> metaphor, simile, hyperbole, personification, imagery, onomatopoeia,</u> etc.
- In the excerpt we are analyzing here, the writer uses metaphor, simile, personification, and imagery.
- Metaphor and simile are both a type of comparison. The difference between them is that the simile needs the help of words such as "like" or "as", while the metaphor does not.
- Personification happens when we give an objective a trait or behavior that belongs to humans.
- Imagery happens when we choose words that appeal to the senses (sigh, hearing, smell, touch, and taste) to help readers visualize and feel what it is that we are describing.
