- The figurative language is being used to create an ominous atmosphere by the way that things are being said. The ominous atmosphere is showing that something bad is about to happen, you can tell because Caesar is being informed that he should watch out. There are lots of warnings for Caesar. Some of the things that are being said create a sense of foreboding. “Out of the teeth of emulation.” This is an example of figurative language.

You have attempted to explore figurative language and have labelled the atmosphere as ominous. Your quotation does contain an idiom but…
Targets:
1) Vary your vocabulary – try to avoid using the phrase ominous atmosphere more than once.
2) Select a more purposeful quotation that supports your point. Are you able to identify any metaphors or personification? How does this help to develop our understanding of character and events?

Kai – was there a better quotation that used personification and had an emotive effect that you could use to support your work?
