Treasure Island (an excerpt) by Robert Louis Stevenson I remember him as if it were yesterday, as he came plodding to the inn door, his sea-chest following behind him in a hand-barrow – a tall, strong, heavy, nut-brown man, his tarry pigtail falling over the shoulder of his soiled blue coat, his hands ragged and scarred, with black, broken nails, and the sabre cut across one cheek, a dirty, livid white. I remember him looking round the cover and whistling to himself as he did so, and then breaking out in that old sea-song that he sang so often afterwards.What does the IMAGERY used in the first paragraph tell the reader about the captain?

D. He has had a rough and adventurous life.

B. He is likely carrying treasure in his sea-chest.

C. He has grown frail and tired with old age.

Which of these is an example of exaggeration (hyperbole)?

B. Harriet spends all day fixing her hair.

A. The leaf raced like a speedboat across the top of the water.

C. T he clouds danced across the sky.

D. The grass was a soft, plush carpet.

What imagery does Tennyson use in this excerpt from the poem? In the stormy east wind straining The yellow words were waning The broad stream in his banks complaning Heavily the low sky raining Over towered Camelot.

D. i magery of sight, touch, and sound

C. imagery of smell, taste, and touch
