Language In This Story
The language used in this story was more of an every day sort of language , so its quiet easy for most readers to understand. Two examples of figurative language I chose were ; two onomontopeias "EeeeOww" and "WooHoooh" ( page 42 ). The level of the language was very easy to follow. It made the book more fun to read because you can pretty much understand every word.
