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.

In what way does Bradbury compare Mildred and her friends to a character from Lewis Carroll’s famous book Alice in Wonderland? A
Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

C. He says their faces have Cheshire cat smiles.

Explanation:

Bradbury compared Mildred and her friends to Cheshire cat, a character in Lewis Carroll's  famous book "Alice in wonderland." when he said "They were like a monstrous crystal chandelier tingling in a thousand chimes, he saw their <em>cheshire cat smiles burning through the walls of the house,</em> and now they were screaming at each other above the din."

Mildred and her friends Mrs. Phelps and Mrs. Bowels are shallow creatures in Fahrenheit 451, who are a good example of how ignorance can make someone narrow minded. they were screaming at each other meaning that the Cheshire cat smile shows that they are unhappy. each of then tries to out compliment each other.

The famous cat is popular for it's 'grin'. which can be seen as mad or sarcastic. therefore Mildred and her Friends were said to be having Cheshire cat smiles because their smiles were not real. meaning that for them to be compared to Cheshire cat shows that they are mad or sarcastic.
