29 L-FIGURATIVE performance 1 Emerging Student reads figurative language literally and does not recognize when words or phrases operate beyond their dictionary definitions. Misses irony, taking sarcastic or ironic statements at face value. When comparing near-synonyms, identifies them as identical in meaning and cannot articulate differences in connotation, register, or emotional weight. Analysis of figurative language, when attempted, consists of naming the device without any explanation of effect. The poem says 'the city gnawed at its own bones.' I think this means the buildings are old and falling apart, like the city is in bad shape. The poet is describing what the city looks like. For the vocabulary part, I think 'gnawed' and 'chewed' mean the same thing — they're both about biting something. 2026-05-24 00:17:32 2026-05-26 01:43:59 1
