                                                                        Analysis 1 (passage on worksheet)

Imagery:

“Mistress could not keep the smile off her face.”, this to me is a cocky image only based on her character because she is an evil and spiteful person.

“Florens mindless as a fern in the wind.”, to me this is an image of Florens being a kid for once in the story and having a crush on an older man which is a blacksmith

Literary devices:

“Like everyone else Willard, Scully, hired help, delivery men, she was happy, cooking as though it were harvest time." This is a similie comparing hapiness of her new house and food which implies that she's fat

Values:

"The last few years he seemed moody, less gentle, but when he decided to kill the trees and replace them with a profane monument to himself, he was cheerful every waking moment." This shows how much that he valued his sons and his Mistress because he had built a new house especially for them to make sure his family would have a nice place to live.

Characterization:

"And Sir--she had never seen Sir in better spirits" This is characterization because she is explaining the expression of Sir to be very happy or ecstatic that he had built his brand new home.

Language/word choice:

"Florens mindless as a fern in the wind." This is an odd use of wording because i personally am not really sure what a fern in the wind looks like or what it is supposed to meen directly, or indirectly.
