Will In Scarlet by Matthew Cody
8/10
If you like Robin Hood Legends, you will like this book. Great story...but on to reading like a writer...I am going to stick with Figurative Language! That is what you struggle with. :-)
Idiom: "Lords weather the passing storms,..."
Cliche: "...she said, hoping to change the subject." (had to change this, see why in previous blog about The Water Castle.
Personification: "Much followed him into the cell and was at once assaulted by the smell."
"...his knife catching the sunlight as he brought it down towards Much's exposed chest."
Metaphor: "...he'd come to represent something else, a branch of a much larger rotten tree."
Simile: "...looked like they'd been fletched by a blind man."
Matthew Cody lets you know why he wrote the story the way he wrote the story. He gives you insight to himself as a writer. He did surprise me with the twist in the perspective of this Robin Hood Tale. He let you see the characters as will saw them. It is written in 3rd person with two different viewpoints from two different characters.
