Deathwatch Literary Devises and Imagery Revised

Prompt:
0-100

       This book in about a boy named Ben that agreed to be a guide for a man named Madeac who is hunting bighorns. Madeac is a cruel person that shoots anything that moves the only reason why Ben agreed to be his guide is because he will get paid for it. After a day or two in the desert Madeac accidentally shot an old prospector walking alone in the dessert. The problem is that Madeac realizes that Ben will testify against him and to solve this problem Madeac stripes Ben naked takes all his water away and makes him walk the rest of the way back to the nearest road.  

       Imagery in this book was used a lot more then literary devises so far. The Imagery did help with making the scene more dramatic and also helped transferring scenes. The example I wanted to point out is 'his feet bleeding again, staining the moonlight on the stones". This saying that Ben has been walking for so long that his feet are blistering up and it is also describes the scene because it is saying that the moon light is very bright and making the stones glisten.

        Literary devises lacked in this book so far it hasn't had any similes, idioms, metaphors, analogies E.X. If this book had more literary devises it would be a lot more interesting and easier to read. This book so far has been a little dry with it having know literary devises if it did have idioms similes and things like that it would make the book a little easier to read and also makes it more entertaining then just people talking back and forth.
