"Witches, The Absolutely True Tale of Disaster in Salem" by: Rosalyn Schanzer is about the witch trials in the 17^th century. Like I said in my other blog, many women and women were accused of being witches even the judges got accused for being witches. These trials were crazy, day after day friend against friend were accusing eachother of witchcraft and the black arts. Rosalyn Schanzer adds many amazing literary devices that hypes things up a lot. IMAGERY….. SIMILIES…..METAPHORS were all great. The author Rosalyn Schanzer enhances the story with literary devices like metaphors. For example she added “The women had two personalities” the author added this because she wanted to show the reader how the women acted all innocent but really were witches harming the afflicted.

 Imagery helps  create a picture in your head by reading the text. Metaphors and Similies compare two things. Overall literary devices enhance the story real well and authors put them in so the reader can have pictures in their head about the story.
