Dear Bobett,
I saw and ordered your, “Out of
this World Bob ZA Alien” dolls online a few days ago. I received them in the mail today. I noticed it was supposed to come with seven
unique aliens. However, it came with seven
ThingamaBOBs instead.
Can you please send me the other
dolls in the set (Bob, Bobster, Bobbie, Bobetta, RoBOBert, and Bobcat)? If you want, I can send the extra six
ThingamaBOB dolls back.
Thank you for taking care of
this. I know I will enjoy the complete
Bob family!
Best Regards,
Your Name

B. an excerpt from a poem by Maya Angelou
</span><span>E: quote from Maya Angelou’s autobiography</span>
1. It was already one in the morning; the rain pattered dismally against the panes, and my candle was nearly burnt out, when, by the glimmer of the half-extinguished light, I saw the dull yellow eye of the creature open; it breathed hard, and a convulsive motion agitated its limbs.
-Personification is shown in this excerpt, specifically in the line "I saw the dull yellow eye of the creature open; it breathed hard, and a convulsive motion agitated its limbs." Because the author is giving human like characteristics to the light.
2. Mingled with this horror, I felt the bitterness of disappointment; dreams that had been my food and pleasant rest for so long a space were now become a hell to me; and the change was so rapid, the overthrow so complete!
- The line "for so long a space were now become a hell to me; and the change was so rapid, the overthrow so complete" uses a metaphor because the vents that take place aren't literally hell, but they are describing it in a way that makes it feels that way.
