Link and homeless differences

The difference between Link and the average homeless is that they in fact sweeten it in a way. They mark it seem like Link from the book though suffering is finding friends and making small amounts of money, while in real life theses people rarely acquire any money, and when they do a test has shown that 70% of people spent their small amount of money on drugs and liquor. Link also only spent one night in a hostel or house the average homeless person spends only one night on the street. Though their are a couple differences there are a lot similarities. Homeless people often travel or live in groups or pairs, Link travels and "lives" with Ginger, also Ginger try's to Link to smoke. Also many job opportunities and homeless shelters reject him because he quote " Made himself homeless". I am not 100% sure if people who made the self homeless or rejected from charity's and shelters, but in the book this is mentioned.

The difference between Link and the average homeless is that they in fact sweeten it in a way.

Ode to a Large Tuna in the Market: Verse paragraph 3


The verse paragraph uses metaphors. The metaphors help use to visualize the shape of the tuna and how it coarses through the sea.
The third verse paragraph compares the tuna to a "dark bullet", and a "sea-javelin" showing us how streamline and fast it is. 
The word "barrled" is a metaphor that shows us the tuna is accelerating like bullet barreled out of a gun. The phrase "locked into the current" says that the fish is moving with the current of the sea and cannot escape it.
In conclusion, the third verse paragraph talks about how swift and aerodynamic the tuna is. It also talks about how free-flowing the tuna is.

Only you: 
dark bullet 
barreled   
from the depths, 
carrying   
only   
your   
one wound, 
but resurgent, 
always renewed, 
locked into the current, 
fins fletched 
like wings 
in the torrent, 
in the coursing 
of 
the 
underwater 
dark, 
like a grieving arrow, 
sea-javelin, a nerveless   
oiled harpoon.

Setting

Fresh, cool air blew in the snow boarders face, as she snow boarded down the soft, fluffy slope. She opened her mouth for a split second, her mouth filled with snow. 
"What a wonderful day!" She thought 

Tone & Mood

Tone is voice, the way somethings is said.
Mood is setting, the way it's described.

These Peanuts are making me thirsty

It was a stormy day. I was in my way too comfortable bed, that I would never want to get out of, eating peanuts, then suddenly I realized: 
"These peanuts are making me thirsty!"
