Across
- 2. When two opposites are placed side by side to highlight the differences between them (the newly constructed building shone in glory next to the run down apartment)
- 3. the use of words to create a picture in the mind of the reader (the sweet smell of the bread filled the living room)
- 5. sudden recounting of past events, typically used to give background information (The smell of my mom’s cooking took me back to when I was a little boy)
- 7. A hint at an important event later in the story (“I didn’t study at all for this test”)
- 8. The repetition of a letter or sound in close words (Alex ate apples all day)
Down
- 1. When words are used in a non literal sense to create more powerful writing (Drew’s whistle was as loud as a siren)
- 4. A short and clever statement that states a truth (practice makes permanent)
- 6. When the opposite of what is expected happens, usually in a comedic fashion (the tennis player doesn’t know how to serve)
