"Bravery" pg.243

Find an example of imagery, personification and simile. Quote directly and give pg numbers.

Imagery: "Now sitting next to her, David seemed very real. He took the world more seriously than any other ugly she'd ever met-more seriously, in fact, than middle pretties like her parents. In a funny way, his eyes held the same intensity that the cruel pretties' had, though without their coldness."pg.246

Simile: "Dr. Cables pendant seemed to grow heavier and heavier, wound around her neck as tightly as the vines, brush, and roots grasping the railroad tracks."pg.243

Personification: " She thought of the orchids spreading across the plains below, choking the life out of other plants, out of the soil itself, selfish and unstoppable." pg.244

Does it require bravery to meet David's parents, why or why not?

I think so, because Tally was uneasy of David's parents when David talked to her about them. I also think it would be awkward for her to see old people who are uglies.
