1) How does religion influence the people of your civilization? 

- A way the religion influences the people of my civilization is the citizens know that if they follow the rules of the religion then the ruler or leader of the religion, like for example, God, will eventually grant you something good or you will go to Heaven.  It's these kinds of things that make people want to follow or study a religion more.

2)A way my relationship with my best friend are like Annemarie and Ellen's relationship is we do almost everything together.  A way we are different from Annemarie and Ellen is we don't live in Denmark like them and we have the same colored hair, unlike Annemarie has blonde hair and Ellen has brown hair.

NTS chapter & discussion

Identify at least one example for each of the four types of figurative language we have studied in class. (Simile, Metaphor, Hyperbole, and Personification) Write the example, be sure to include the page number where you found it, and then explain in your own words what the author was trying to convey.

My first figurative language example is a metaphor.  "The God of Thunder made a very small rain shower in the corner of the kitchen floor." (pg. 70) The author is using a metaphor  to compare Thor's (Kirsti's cat) pee to a rain shower. He compared something wet that is descriptive to the pee.  Another figurative language example is a personification.  "...pictured a mound of frightened butter under military arrest." (pg.69) The author is using a personification to describe all the butter that has been taken and given to all the soldiers.  Another figurative language example that I have is a simile.  "...the one who looks like a silly giraffe." (pg.9) In this example of figurative language the author describing what a person looks like by comparing to something similar.  My last figurative language example is called a hyperbole.  "Annemarie's heart sank and she looked at her mother."  (pg.55)  I think the author is using hyperbole to really describe what Annemarie was feeling.
