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: metaphor, simile, hyperbole, personification, imagery, onomatopoeia, 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.

Dialogue between grandparents and students discussing about junk food

Korolek [52]

Dialogue between grandparents and students discussing about junk food.

Dialogue is a conversation or communication between two or more people. When a discussion about a junk food takes place, the dialogue between grandparents and students would be something like this.

Grandparent: We came to know from your parents and teachers that these days you consume a lot of junk foods.

One Student: Yes granny. We do! What’s the harm? Such foods are very delicious after all.

Grandparent: Of course they are. But do you know, such foods are considered very unhealthy.

Another Student: Unhealthy! How can such mouthwatering foods be unhealthy?

Grandparent: Consuming junk food once in a week is not the problem. But consuming too much of such foods everyday can lead to serious health issues.

Another Grandparent: Yes, and the preparation method of such food is also different and not that good and healthy as compared to homemade cooked foods. So we advice you not to eat up junk food. They may taste delicious, but not every mouthwatering foods are tasty and healthy. You got that?

Students: Yessss Granny.
