ENG2 Week 33 Friday 4/28 Bell Ringer Name: Period. Read the paragraph below and color code examples you find of metaphor, simile, onomatopoeia, personification, oxymoron and/or alliteration. The palm trees bowing their heads in the salty, tropical breeze and the crash of the waves on the sand brought a smile to Jennifer's face. Although she was happy to be enjoying the perks of Hawaii, this was still very much a working holiday. Her days were spent imprisoned in a conference room with the rest of her inmate colleagues. Listening to presentations on bookkeeping and bonds with the beautiful beach outside was truly a burden. When the day ended, Jennifer left the building like an animal breaking free from its crate.​
