Oranges by Gary Soto.

When the author told us in the story he said “I took my girl's hand.” Representing a feeling of warmth I think is a great technique. In the text, he also says “A light in her eyes.” evoking a feeling of love.

The one with the old man.

The author showed us the grave at the end, which was a great technique. Another good technique is the music, the piano, the beats. I like how he narrates the story, too.

The one with young love. The way the author showed us him walking down with his girlfriend while he was narrating the story is a great technique. The piano in the background is another good technique.

The one with the teen couple.

The music in the background is always great because it can make our mood better, and it

    One literary device present in the poem, “Oranges”, that develops the theme of sacrifice is an extended metaphor. The girl the author is with wanted a “chocolate that [costed] a dime”, but the author doesn’t have enough, so he “took the nickel” he had and an orange to pay for it(Soto,34). This shows that he is willing to give up his orange to get her the chocolate bar.

    His use of repetition is another great aspect of his liturature. The repetition creates rythym for the reader and help the words seemingly flow right off the page. This is a great attribute for an author because it helps their audience get sucked into the story and not wanting to put the book down. One example of this comes from the novel The Grapes of Wrath……
