Simile-

"'The sky is blue today, Max, and there is a big long cloud, and it's stretched out like a rope. At the end of it, the sun is like a yellow hole'" Page 247

Metaphor-

"A necklace of sweat had formed around her throat" Page 122

Personification-

"Even death has a heart" Page 242

THANKS AGAIN FOR ALL THE HELP!

1. Her Brother Dies

2. She steals her first book

3. Her mother leaves her and she meets her adoptive parents Hans and Herr Hubermann

4. Hans finds the book and teaches her to read

5. Max arrives

6. She steals her second book
