    1. Sycoya. I like the example you gave about when your mom says something about going on a trip. That would get my attention too!

  7. The metaphor i'm choosing is she was “Dangling the carrot”. I think “dangling the carrot” means that she was hanging onto the news so the other girls wouldn't know so she could feel special.For example when my brother gave me hints that we got the new halo 4 so i figured it out because he dangled the news to long.

    1. Oh Dikota. I can see him giving you hints to getting the new game. I bet Halo 4 is pretty fun. Is that for the PS4? I don't think we have that one for rent at Family Video yet.

  8. The metaphors in this chapter was Dangling a carrot that Pa would say to the girls, Dog’s ears, Pin in the balloon is what Delphine did to Lucy, and the last one i Hot and Cold. For example i would tell my brother “ Go break a leg.” and that means good job and/or go get them.

  9. The metaphor (he,she) was dangling a carrot means that you are trying to antagonize or to pick on somebody to see if they can find out. it often makes the other person curious.

    1. Good word choice with antagonize. Are you related to Merriam Webster? Haha. I guess you're just related to Miriam.

  13. One of the metaphors in the chapter “Through the Grapevine” was “She (Lucy Raleigh) hated it when i stuck a pin in her balloon”That metaphor meant that if Lucy was talking and telling people good news she didn't' like it when Delphine interrupted her.

  14. One metaphor that I found is in Through the Grapevine is where it said “Pin in the balloon” which meant when you're talking to someone and you think your right and someone comes and interrupts you and tells your wrong.And they told you whats up.
