Analyze the quote for word choice
Simile: Words can be ‘like’ X rays.
Personification: they’ll go through anything, you read and you are pierced:
Interpret - what is the quote trying to convey?
The quote is saying that you can’t put away a good book. You have to continue reading. Words go through everything - your heart and mind - and they do not leave you. Once you start reading you are 'pierced'. The words will stay in your brain and keep you wondering about them until you finish reading.
Weak example of word choice:
The girl was reading.
Strong example of word choice:
The little girl was so engrossed in the book that when the school bell rang she did not realize that the teacher had entered the class. When the little girl was put in detention she couldn’t stop thinking about the rest of the book because it was stuck in her mind.
