I believe that the options that best describe the qualities of the tragic heroine in these two passages are:
- They both show the main character sacrificing her life for her principles.
- They both show the main character experiencing a downfall and awaiting death.
- They both show moments in the main characters' experiences that evoke pity.
The tragic heroine trope portrays a female protagonist who ends up suffering terribly due to a fatal flaw in her character.
The correct answer is Metaphor
Explanation:
In the line presented, the author Sandra Cisneros is comparing her name to the Mexican records her father listens; this is likely because her name has an important Mexican influence. Moreover, in terms of figurative or literary devices, this is known as a metaphor because the author is trying to explain the meaning of her name through a comparison between the name and the records. Also, this is not a simile because there is not an explicit word for comparison such as "like", or personification because there are not objects, places, etc. that had been given human traits.
The article is a argumentative tone/mood. Evidence of this is when the author wrote "NASA’s space program is worth preserving at any cost."That shows how they personally believe that it is worth preserving and that they’re trying to prove their opinion is valid. Also when the author says"It is impossible to list all the benefits of a thriving space program." The author has a strong opinion that they believe which makes it argumentative.
The total amount of something remains the same.
