“Cookie craving,” By Eric
Rogowski uses all different types of figurative. Some examples are; two
similes, two metaphors, three onomatopoeias, one hyperbole, and one allusion.
In this piece I will analyze the figurative language, and how it affects the
reader and tone of the poem.
“If I don’t get my cookies, I
definitely will die.” The hyperbole in this line creates the image of how much
this person wants cookies. Obviously this person won’t actually die if don’t
get their cookies, but it tells you how much they desire cookies. It impacts the
tone of the piece by showing the great craving for cookies.
“With milk as cold as Antarctica,
and cookies as fresh as newly-picked fruit.” These two metaphors produce a
vivid impression of the milk and cookies. To give the reader a better idea of
the milk and cookies, how delectable they are together. It changes the tone by,
describing the cookies, making the reader understand why the author wants the
cookies so bad.
The figurative language gives the
reader a better understanding of the author’s craving for cookies. It brings
the writing on the paper to life, appealing to their sense of taste.
The figurative language affected
the reader and tone in “Cookie Craving,” in many ways. They were able to get a
better understanding of the craving, by tempting their senses.
