Micah Andersen · Answer 1

The writer uses repetition to show and empathize how the writer is using repetition you can use an OTEA paragraph this is when you say the writer uses a repetition to show ...

Then you analyze the quote like the word ... means the effect on the reader but also you can say what the whole quotes suggests

O-opinion

T-technique like repetition similes onomatopoeias

A-what the quote is and focus on whole quote

E-say how the reader feels and focus on one paragraph

Just how you could map it out I hope you kind of get it but if not sorry
