Read the following lines from President Obama’s speech and place a check mark next to each rhetorical device or type of figurati

ve language that is being used
“And to those Americans who—whose support I have yet to earn, I may not have won your vote tonight, but I hear your voices. I need your help. And I will be your President, too. And to all those watching tonight from beyond our shores, from parliaments and palaces, to those who are huddled around radios in the forgotten corners of the world, our stories are singular, but our destiny is shared, and a new dawn of American leadership is at hand.”

"This is our time, to put our people back to work and open doors of opportunity for our kids; to restore prosperity and promote the cause of peace; to reclaim the American dream and reaffirm that fundamental truth, that, out of many, we are one; that while we breathe, we hope. And where we are met with cynicism and doubt and those who tell us that we can’t, we will respond with that timeless creed that sums up the spirit of a people: Yes, we can."

Reread Act IV, Scene 5 from lines 13 to 60. How does Shakespeare use figurative language to convey the grief felt by the Capulet
ziro4ka [17]
Figurative language in this section helps convey the grief of the Capulets by making their lamenting more personal and poetic. Specifically, using personification to represent death as a person helps the reader really feel like Juliet has been actively taken away from them rather than her just having died. For example, when Capulet says "Death, that hath ta'en her hence to make me wail, / Ties up my tongue, and will not let me speak." This is making Death the active enemy, giving them someone to blame. This section also uses a lot of simile, including when Capulet says "Death lies on her like an untimely frost / Upon the sweetest flower of all the field." This makes her death feel peaceful, looking at Juliet as a sweet flower with just a hint of frost over her. Finally, Capulet also uses anaphora to reinforce the personification of Death and the poetry of Juliet's passing. He says "<span>Death is my son-in-law, Death is my heir;", repeating Death at the beginning of each phrase.</span>

A Midsummer Night’s Dream is a comedy with a romantic theme. Which statement best expresses one of the play’s themes about love?
coldgirl [10]
C. <span>True love is worth overcoming obstacles to attain.

This theme can be summed up in Lysander's line in Act 1 Scene 1: "</span><span>The course of true love never did run smooth". This quote means the same as the theme, the path of true love usually has a lot of obstacles. The other couples in the play face obstacles too and have to get over their fights and disagreements in order to get to the happy ending. </span>
