Have you ever fallen out of a flying sleigh led by eight reindeer going at 100 or more miles per hour? yeah me neither. that is, until last Christmas. I was going downstairs for a cup of hot cocoa when I heard a loud THUMP. At first, I thought it was a burglar and panicked. but then I saw a pair of black boots and an enormous red body strolling around my living room.
When he saw me, he almost jumped with fright. He told me that I shouldn't be there. Shouldn't be there? It's my own house? He's the one who was breaking and entering! I was about to tell him off when he flew up onto the roof and shouted for the reindeer to move. What on earth was happening? Was I seriously getting kidnapped by Santa Claus?
I must have been dreaming. When the sleigh started to move, I nearly threw up. But eventually i calmed down. It was actually really fun. but soon we were going really fast. before i knew it, we were in paris! i watched the beautiful city drift underneath us and fell into a trance. We soon floated up above the clouds. all of a sudden, the sleigh was moving out of control! we couldnt get it to go back on track. i felt so dizzy, i nearly fell out the sleigh! actually i did!
i was falling down through the soft clouds as i watched the starry sky swirl above my head. before i knew what had happened, i was in my bed, drifting fastly to sleep.
Tan uses an allusion to the familiar nursery rhyme about the cow jumping over the moon to help readers experience what the character is feeling.
Tan uses imagery to give the reader a mental picture of the main character's experiences with her mother.
Tan uses characterization, developing Jing-mei by describing how she responds to her mother's actions.
Hope this helps!

<span>When another word part unites with a prefix, the prefix simply blends with that other word part. You don't have to change anything about the prefix - it doesn't matter if the word starts with a vowel or a consonant.
For example:
pre- + record = prerecord
re- + write = rewrite
im + mobilize = immobilize </span>
