The line "Tutankhamen is a drop of water in the ocean of history" contains a type of figurative language called metaphor, as is further explained below.

<h3>What is metaphor?</h3>
  • Metaphor is a type of figurative language.
  • It is used to compare different things, people, etc.
  • Metaphor does NOT rely on the words "like" or "as" for the comparison.
  • It states that "thing A is thing B" rather than "thing A is like thing B."

With the information above in mind, we can identify the use of metaphor in the line by Lewis. She states that Tutankhamen is a drop of water in the ocean of history, comparing the young pharaoh to a single drop of water.

Her purpose with such a comparison is to show that, in terms of all history, Tutankhamen's story is quite small, maybe even insignificant.

Pick any reading and describe a theme or central idea it has in common with the excerpt above. What issue is Powel commenting on
kobusy [5.1K]

Troy Davis was not allowed to submit to the lie detector to prove his guilt before being executed, as a last resort to avoid lethal injection. His defenders accused the Court of racial discrimination.

Davis´s attorney, Stephen Marsh, has commented that the Georgia department of corrections rejected the request to take the polygraph test. However, until the last minute Davis, did not recognize himself guilty of the murder of police officer Mark McPhail in 1989.

In spite of the doubts about the sentence, lack of real evidence of Davis´s participation in that murder and numerous social protests, the supreme court of the United States rejected the last request of clemency.

In both cases we can infer, although the country fights in order to defeat the racism, is a currently present problem.

Based on his word choice and rhetorical devices, identify the best description of Henry’s tone in this passage. Choose two optio
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

C). Committed

F). Urgent

Explanation:

The Tone is characterized as the author's approach or attitude towards specific subject matter.

In his speech at the Virginia Convention, Patrick Henry adopted a 'committed and urgent tone' as he primarily aimed to reflect his stand for the rights of the American citizens and commitment/determination to fight for their liberty. He convinced his people to break away with Britain and need to be plucky enough to fight for their freedom. <u><em>Urgency is clearly reflected through his approach towards the requirement of revolting against the dominations of British empire while commitment through his clear declaration “Give me liberty or give me death</em></u>!”
