“Her life, her marriage, her children. Her friends and her work.”
In this quote, the author used repetition. The use of repetition put emphasis on Allie. It put focus on that this conversation is about her, and no one else. It makes sure that Noah was telling Allie everything about herself.

“Lightning cut the sky outside. Fire danced on white-hot wood, spreading the heat. October rain sheeted itself against the windows, drowning out all other sounds.”
Personification is used in this quote. This creates a lively image that fits perfectly with the mood of the situation, that is Noah and Ali are alone in their own world. The use of this figurative language makes the dullness of objects disappear. It also makes everything seems poetic in a way.

At the beginning of the story, Allie was like a little puppy. She was obedient to her family. As she grew to become a teenager, she started to rebel against her parents will to date Noah. She fell head-over-heels for him. When they were forced to be parted, Allie’s heart was torn in two. After she has grown up as an adult, her life was boring as if there was no meaning to living anymore. She was a wounded lost bird. However, everything changed when she saw a post about Noah on the newspaper. Her heart lit up with a smile, packed her bags and left for a journey. When they were finally reunited, Allie was hit by a swarm of emotions. At the end, she chose to follow her heart and stayed with Noah.
I have used simile, personifications, hyperbole, and metonymy.
