jornal entry:more literary terms( 13-15)

page:119
Term:Figurative language
Quote: "all she found out was that she was too old a vessel for new wine."
why/effect: this was used in order to convey figuratively how Janie is becoming too old for much change or even a new life partner. using this particular type of figurative language allows for the audience too picture how Janie feels about her self in a way that isn't obvious and allows the audience to think on it. the word choice in particular also lets us understand how she feels through imagery.
