Theme
If you really love someone you put their happiness before yours.
Figurative language (imagery): As Mr.Peters entered a straight stretch of road he seemed to hear a faint cry.
Without figurative language:Mr.Peters hearted a noise that sounded like crying . He thought someone was in trouble far away in the trees.
Mood: Without the figurative language it makers the audience bored . The figurative language creates the audience to feel like there in the story.Without him giving examples of the faint crying it doesn't sound as sad as the one with figurative language.
Figurative language (simile): I wish I had a wife as beautiful as the forest .
Without figurative language: I wish I had someone pretty.
Mood: Without the figurative language it doesn't show how much he wants someone beautiful.It doesn't give all the emotion.He is saying that the forest is beautiful without the figurative language it doesn't show what's being compared.
(Hyperbole)Figurative Language: The bird struggled all the more frantically as he approached,looking at him with hate in its yellow eyes, and when he took hold of it to free it, hissed at him,pecked him,and thrashed dangerously with its wings which were powerful enough to break his arm.
Without Figurative : The bird struggled and the birds wings were so powerful that Mr.Peters said it could break his arm.
Mood: When you don't use as much details it makes the mood less vivid. When your writing a story you want to make as vivid as you can .Without the figurative language it doesn't show how much the bird was struggling. Plus , it didn't show how angry the bird is.
Figurative language( personification) : Mr.Peters caught the leaves and put two of them carefully in the notecase.When he looked up the swan was sailing about in the middle of the water again, flicking the drops angrily down it's long neck.
Without Figurative Language: Mr.Peters noticed after he got in his note case that the swan was swinging his head angrily.
Mood:Without the details it makes the sentence more dull. Without the figurative language it doesn't get acrossed How angry the bird was.
Figurative language (hyperbole): There was a story that once when thieves tried to break into his house they were set upon by two huge white birds which carried them off bodily and dropped them into the river.
Without figurative language: There is a story about thieves that tried to break into his house. The birds came and grabbed them and dropped the people in the river.
Mood: Without figurative language it makes the story more confusing. It doesn't really show how the bird carried them off.
