She is sweet to all people.

Grandpa • Helpful to Billy because he orders Billy’s dogs so that he can go coon hunting, which is a huge thing for Billy. • He always believes in Billy and his dogs,even when they lose track of coons. • He is willing to do anything for Billy. • “The best grandpa a boy could have.” • He is scared, nervous, and exited for Billy all at the same time when he is at the coon catching championship. • He likes to joke around and is kind hearted and is caring to everyone.

  5. Metaphor/Alliteration • The starlit heaven reminded me of a large blue umbrella, outspread and with the handle broken off. • Climbing, clawing and swimming Little Ann searched the drift for the lost trail. • For a split second the ghost coon stayed on top of the post and then he jumped.

  6. Hyperbole • I felt a hand as big as an anvil clamp on my shoulder. • My sisters shook the house from the roof to the floor with their playing. • I was walking along singing my lungs out when they came tearing out of the underbrush wiggling and twisting and, tickled to death to be with me.
