Figurative Language
My name is Kelan. Not Kalen. Kalen sounds like the name of a bread. It is not Key-lan. Key-lan sounds like the name of a strong African
warrior. I’m skinny and white. It’s spelt K-e-l-a-n. It’s pronounced exactly the way it looks. People say my name like they’re chewing
something and their mouth is full.
