Another example of personification is when the author writes “The boy asked his duck, but the duck floated away, he didn’t know.” when referring to the boys rubber duck suggesting that it has the capacity to think and retain information like a human. Lost and found repeatedly features the use of personification, The most obvious of this is the penguin being given humanistic emotions of being sad and needing a friend. The story is told in third person, for example the author depicts the boy as the boy and the penguin as the penguin. Lost and found contains numerous language features throughout the story. The story follows the penguin and the boy on there journey where the boy soon realizes that like him the penguin was lonely and in need of a friend. ![]() The book is about a young boy who is trying to help a penguin find his way because he believes he is homesick. This week I have chosen to explore the language features in the children’s book, ‘Lost and found” by Oliver Jeffers. ![]()

A chance meeting with an enigmatic young businessman launches the pair into areas of society heretofore closed to them, where they encounter a large cast of characters both charming and repellent. ![]() “This flawless debut novel follows two young women, boarding-house roommates, making their way in 1938 Manhattan. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() She’s determined to crush her interview to become the assistant to one of Atlanta’s top lawyers because if she doesn’t, she won’t make rent or her student loans. It didn’t bother me, but the details are behind a spoiler tag below. Also, while I’m noting things people might hate or be fine with, there’s sort of a cheating element to this book too. Personally, I like it, and I particularly enjoyed how this book handles it because it addresses and challenges that dynamic head on, rather than brushing past it (more on this below), while still offering a whole lot of feels. I totally understand and respect that not everyone is comfortable with that power dynamic in fiction. This book is not going to be for everyone because it’s an erotic romance with a boss/employee scenario, although if that pairing is your jam, you will almost certainly love it.
