Sample:

Sadly, I put my arm around his shoulder, pulling him close to me. It was terrible. Mother
and father were gone; they couldn’t look after us now. How could they do this to us, to
their children? Trembling, I told him that I was his big brother. I would be a lion standing
guard over him.

Karthik’s:
Everyday, I go to the shop. I saw a tree. The tree looked very handsome; there were
delicious fruits hanging from it. Does it have branches, I thought? Climbing the tree is
very dangerous, I don’t know how the workers grab the fruits from it. The tree looks like a
huge friendly monster.

Key words

semi; colon:
The internet zone is already popular; the computers are booked up every day.
Some students come in early to do homework on them; others use them once
lessons have ended.

Rhetorical question:
Rhetorical questions are often asked to emphasize a point. Rhetorical questions do
not need an answer. A rhetorical question is a question someone asks without
expecting an answer. Is the pope Catholic? Is rain wet? You didn't think I would say
yes to that, did you?

Simile: Karthik is like a tiger. (Karthik behaves as a tiger.) He leapt onto the bad boys
and saved a puppy.
Metaphor: Karthik is a tiger. He leapt onto the bad boys and saved a puppy.

Alliteration: Keshav, Karthik and Kavya are siblings. Among mango trees,
mongoose was murdered.
Direct Speech: “I am not sure,” said Karthik. Words exactly spoken by a
person are in direct speech.
