TU TUESDAY

"There have been too many times that I've collapsed in bed and opened a book only to immediately fall asleep still wearing glasses, the book splayed across my chest.": Imagery- The use of description to create pictures.

 "'The manuscript is full of phrases which make a scene blaze with life.'": metaphor- comparison of two unlike things without like or as.

"I reread and underlined Fitzgerald's bursting sentences, adding my own notes to margins that were already marked up. " Hyperbole- An exaggeration.

"Words Worth Savoring" is an article by Donna Liquori. The article is mainly about the book "The Great Gatsby" and how she wants to  "read a smaller number (of books), but slower." The figurative language that is in the article helps to describe how  ""Gatsby" is a short book, 182 pages crammed full with some of the most exquisite observations about human character and longing." and how she wants to slow down and read less books because if she was "to tell you the last few books (she's) read (then she's) got to think about it." The figurative language helps to describe the book, and how good the writer thinks it is.
