Jewel Kilcher

             Folk singer and writer Jewel Kilcher was born on May 23, 1974, in Homer, Alaska, to Nedra and Atz Kilcher. Her parents were folk singers who incorporated Jewel into their act at age 6. Jewel and her family lived in a very small-populated town and had no running water, toilets or television.

In lines five, six, and seven I found a simile. I found hyperbule in lines eight, nine, ten, and eleven. In lines thirteen and fourteen I found another simile.
