I have been told to write a letter to a character in this story as one of the characters ("The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle" by Avi), anyone have any tips to really GET into the character and make the letter emotional and yet still into the story?

Thank you for using the Jiskha Homework Help Forum. Here are some sites on the book first of all:

3. http://www.allreaders.com/Topics/Info_24943.asp

4. http://www.nancypolette.com/LitGuidesText/doyle.htm

The above sites are free although there are other helpful sites for which you would have to pay to download.

To do this assignment, you need to read the book. Select one of the characters (not necessarily the 13 year old girl although at your age it might be easiest to relate to her.) Analyze what type of person this is and let your imagination assist you in being that person. If you have difficulty writing a letter, pretend you are "talking" to the other person to whom you are writing.

Enjoy this assignment; it's creative!

Thanks. I did read this. (great book!) I think Im working with it!

Can i have 3 examples of personification, and metaphors in the Book i am regina by sally m. keehn

Thank you

First, if you have a question, it is much better to put it in as a separate post in <Post a New Question> rather than attaching it to a previous question, where is more likely to be overlooked.

However, since I am not familiar with the book, , I searched Google under the key words "'I am Regina' Keehn" to get these possible sources:

I hope this helps. Thanks for asking.

To find examples of personification and metaphors in the book "I Am Regina" by Sally M. Keehn, you can try the following steps:

1. Read the book thoroughly: Start by reading the book carefully and paying attention to the language and descriptions used by the author. Look for instances where objects, animals, or ideas are given human characteristics or actions that they normally wouldn't have.

2. Note down instances of personification: As you read, make note of any examples of personification you come across. This could include phrases like "the wind whispered through the trees" or "the waves danced in the moonlight." Jot down the page numbers or quotes so you can refer back to them later.

3. Look for metaphors: Metaphors compare two unrelated things by stating that one thing is another. Look for sentences in the book where one thing is compared to another without using "like" or "as." For example, phrases like "life is a journey" or "her words were fire" are metaphors. Again, note down the page numbers or quotes for future reference.

4. Use online resources: If you're having trouble finding examples, you can also try searching for study guides, book summaries, or other online resources dedicated to the book. These resources may highlight specific examples of personification and metaphors that you can use in your assignment.

Remember, it's important to read the book yourself and make your own observations before relying on external sources. This will help you develop a deeper understanding of the story and the writer's style.
