For each sticky note, type your power line, page #, and the identifying figurative language.
Remember, your figurative language should be: personification, simile, metaphor, hyperbole, alliteration, verbal irony (not situational or dramatic), onomatopoeia, or other figurative language that manipulates language, not plot (such as conflict, foreshadowing, etc.)
Do not have a SYMBOL for your PowerLine. You already have a sticky note for it.
