Title: Vivid Imagery and Figurative Language
Review: Historical ficition, poetic free verse and figurative language are all in this beautifully written story about a girl in Oklahoma during the dust bowl. It is told from the point of view of a 14 year old girl who experiences joy, tragedy, tenderness and pain yet she perseveres. Rich in imagery you can see, taste , feel and hear the dust storms as they approach and touch the lives of farmers. After teaching a unit on poetry, our 6th grade students loved this book , identified with the character and recognized and appreciated the poets craft.
