Literary devices:In the story I try to use as many describing words as possible to make you see a mental image in your head while reading my story.I include Adjectives and lots of metaphors, similes and figurative language. I also leave a bit of wondering in the end with my last sentence of the story. Some of the examples in my story are “the grass was as rich as a blooming rose in a field of sunshine” and “the thoughts in his head were as dark as a dying crow screaming for its life” and lastly a repetition “tomorrow tomorrow is what he heard.

Point of viewIn this story we used third person so we used he or she and him or her or the characters nameYou can use He SheHimHerOr the characters name

Theme/messageThe theme of my story is that if you really are passionate and you care about something you should fight for it
