Action

The actions are clear and expressive in this memoir. This helps to compliment the emotions that were felt during this harsh time. Eyes become overly widened, arms flail in the air, and outreached arms really stand out. Many instances of loving hugs and sticking close to one another can also be found (p. 15). In these circumstances, these actions would speak volumes.

Michelangelo was gift in telling stories with his characters’ actions. The following is just one example.
