  2. Poppy • The book we are representing is Poppy, by Avi. This book has many similes, idioms, and lots of other story elements.

  3. Story Elements • All good books need story elements. Here are the story elements for all books: • Similes • Personification • Idioms Symbolism • Onomatopoeia • Alliterations • Flashback • Foreshadowing • Imagery • Metaphor

  4. Main Characters • The main characters are the following: • Poppy, a young deer mice who`s trying to find something out about a place called New House. • Mr.Ocax, a great-horned owl that either “protects” mice or eats them.

  5. Hero and Villain • The protagonist is the hero of the story. The antagonist is the villain of the story. They`re usually also main characters. • Protagonist: Poppy • Antagonist: Mr.Ocax • These two characters are also the point of view, or which the story is told from.

  6. Foreshadowing • One of the story elements is foreshadowing. It`s when the author gives clues about what`ll happen later on in the book. • Here`s an example: • “She hoped she`d never have to use it.”

  7. Setting • The setting is the place and time of the book. The setting in Poppy is the past, and the place is Dimwood region. • There are 15 marked places in Dimwood. They are: Gray House, Lamout`s Field, The Tar Road, Bannock Hill, the Bridge, Marsh, Old Orchard, Dimwood forest, Glitter Creek, Jayswood, Dirt Road, Old Barn, the Corn Field, New Barn, and New House.

  8. Climax • The climax is the most exciting part of the story. In Poppy, the climax is when Poppy battles Mr.Ocax for her family`s freedom. http://fc04.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2010/229/e/8/Mr__Ocax_by_breve_temp.jpg http://www.harpercollinschildrens.com/harperchildrensImages/isbn/large/8/9780380727698.jpg

  9. Literary Devices • A simile uses “like” and “as” to describe something. An example of a simile is: • “Seeing the owl so close surged through her like a bolt of electricity.” (page 21) • An onomatopoeia uses the use of words whose sounds make you think of their meanings. An example is an onomatopoeia is: • WHACK (page 98)
