Rat Island: Language Features

 In Rat Island they use language feature we learning use in our writing like similes, metaphors, aliteration, and personification. 
We had to find in the book similes, metaphors, and personification. 
I only found a few simlies because I've only read chapter 1 & 2.
Here are the examples and the ones I found.
Simlie: His black moustache was as sharp as a stingray's tail. His single eye would burn into your soul like a fiery cannonball.

Metaphor: Captain Tombs was seated in the corner of his cabin. A black spider in the web.

Personification: Through stroms and seas that'd make a cannonball weep.

Rat Island Prediction

 We predicted what would happen in the new book for the week:Rat Island by Stu Duval.
This is the Blurb:



























Scary right?!

















Here is my Prediction:
I think the captain asked Tam to spy on his ship mates because he suspects they will turn against them and take the treasure for themselves. I wonder who the person on the cover is. I think it is the  Captain Ezekiel Tombs or one of the shipmates that might be leading the rebellion. I think maybe Rat Island (if I haven't read the chapter one) it would be where the treasure is. Maybe the book might be set somewhere between the 1920-1940s. The clothes to me look old fashioned but  pirates are usually like that so I'm not sure.
