Question

I realized that this was our own electric light for us to turn on and off as we pleased. I pushed a chair under it and after some instruction from my mother proceeded to create lightning in the room by turning the switch as fast as I could.
After reading the passage from Barrio Boy, describe how the author uses connotations and figurative language to make his experience come to life.

Answer 1

Answer:The figurative language makes it much easier to focus on what is about to happen and the author doesn't use any connotations.The figurative language in this passage creates a scene where if you focus and read the passage very carefully and slow then you actually start to experience the feeling of it all coming to life.
