The Worm By Gary Paulen Summary
Response So, the language these authors use in this situation is really amplifying the feelings in which the character is disliking the food that they are eating. In "The Worm", it says in stanza 4, "I didn't like the taste a bit, so I didn't swallow it." Instead of saying, I didn't like the worm so I spit it out, or something like that which would sound blander than what the author really used.
And in hatchet Gary Paulsen used figure of speech to describe the feeling of eating a turtle egg. On page 95 it states it had are really oily and greasy feeling when it passed down his throat. The author used the descriptive words, greasy and oily because those taste are really unappetising, making sure it's clear, these eggs taste kind of bad.
