This badge is about how i present king lairs extract a.
In my opinion i think that this setting is presented in a uncontrollable and aggressive mood. The reason i think so is because it says phrases such as “sulphurous and thought-executing fires”. And that it says at the start of the extract,”blow,winds and crack your cheeks!rage!blow!” The figurative language that was being used for the first line was personification. The reason was because it was giving a naturalistic feature a human characteristic.When the reader is seeing this he would ponder how it would look if you could actually blow winds and crack your cheeks and that this doesn’t really sound positive and that he isn’t in a good mood.And that when he said rage he meant cause extensive damage to his political Empire. The “crack” of cheeks as well as the command of “Rage” and “Blow” help to emphasise how there is to be some level of destruction wrought at the hands of human beings to be evident.
And that is how i present king lairs extract.

Isaac, you have identified a piece of figurative language, used a quotation to support your idea and made a brief statement about its effect.
You have not yet unlocked the badge though. Here’s what you need to do.
1) Put your quotation into quotation marks.
2) Delete any vague statements about ‘making the writing interesting’ or ‘catching the reader’s eye’.
3) Make some specific observations about the feature’s effect. What has ‘cracking cheeks’ got to do with being aggressive? How does this make the storm seem to the reader? What might this tell us about Lear’s state of mind?
