I liked the technique and I think that I will use it some time in my own writing. Like I said, I especially think that it will be a useful tool when I am writing one of my own personal adventure tales. || __Julie of the Wolves__ by: Jean Craighead George. || I liked this because it was so descriptive. -GraceA || Craighead George. || After I read this I noticed that Miyax was always making up songs or singing songs that she all ready new. ~Grace || I wonder what will happen to Tommy?NAME ||

 * "Annemarie admitted to herself, snuggling there in the quiet dark, that she was glad to be an ordinary person who would never be called upon for courage." __Number the Stars__ by Lois Lowrey || When I read this, I just knew that the author was whispering in my ear, portending the future. It was the juxtaposing position of Annemarie being snuggled in quiet comfort and an unknown, scary future that made the appositive gain a life of it's own. I could literally SEE and FEEL the young protagonist's future. This is a very subtle example of FORESHADOWING. ||
 * Lost in the Amazon: The True Story of Five Men and their Desperate Battle for Survival by Stephen Kirkpatrick || Desperation. Hot, steamy, green jungle hunger gnawed and taunted the five mens' empty bellies, while thoughts of loved ones far from their captivity, raced as if they might just be the last ones. The five men were desperately lost in the Amazon. From the first word, of the first page, the author drew us in by his side.This style of opening a book really captivates me, especially when it is a survival story like this one. What was REALLY amazing is how the author took this whole opening scene from the PROLOGUE, drew us in and then started from the mere inception of the idea to travel to the Amazon. It wasn't until almost three-quarters of the way through the book that the author used the exact same passage from his journal at the exact moment that it was happening to him. Or in other words - in exact context.

 * Miyax was a classic Eskimo, small of bone and delicately wired with strong muscles. Her face was pearl round and her nose was flat. Her black eyes, which were slanted gracefully, were most and sparking. Like the the beautifully formed polar bears and foxes of the north, she was slightly short limed.

 * "Suddenly Jello came out of the fog and leaped upon a leg of the kill. She drew back. Why had he not eaten with the others? She asked herself. He had not been baby sitting. He must be in some kind of wolf disgrace, for he had walked with his tail between his legs and he was snot allowed to eat with the pack." __Julie of the Wolves__ by Jean Craighead George || I think that the author made it like that because Jello might have done something bad. ~Grace ||
 * " New white fur was splotched across his gold back." __Julie of the Wolves__ by Jean Craighead George || I like how the author used the word splotched, it is very descriptive. ~ Lizzy ||
