The word I choose is “it crackled it growled and roared and howled” I choosed this because it shows what the people on the boat thought what the ice sounded like and the author is using lots of personifacaton for the ice, there also exaggerating to much because only predators roar and Howl and I he ice is not a predator. predators scare other animals and people so what they are trying to say is the ice is scarying people.

  1. Well done Aniss ,I like the way your analysed the peom ,keep practicing and try to understand the poem texture ‘la texture du poeme’.

  2. I like the way you brought up the idea of the ice being a predator and scaring the people

  3. I like the explanation that you gave but there are times when you spelt things wrong like personification so that needs improvement

  4. Aniss – this meets the criteria for the Discovery Badge – well done!

    You have successfully identified personification and then focussed on the vocabulary to link this into possible meanings that help to develop the device.
