What is an METAPHOR for (Some Advice to Those Who Will Serve Time in Prison by Nâzım Hikmet Ran)

English
1 answer:
olganol [36]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

"A metaphor is a figure of speech that pulls comparisons between two unrelated ideas." - Masooma Memon
For example: His words cut deeper than a knife.

It's different from a simile because a simile usually uses "like" or "as" instead of just being more... straightforward about it (if that's the right way to describe it) like metaphors do. Metaphors say that two things are similar not literally, but figuratively and poetically.

Example of simile: You are like a summer's day.
If this was said like a metaphor, it'd be: You are a summer's day.

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer and Explanation:

Dear...,

I'm sorry to hear you were not able to perform well for the examination. I can only imagine the way you feel at this moment. I hope you'll soon regain your confidence and excitement. We know you are smart and capable, so there is no reason to let this hurdle bring you down.

You know I have also struggled all my life with anxiety and lack of focus. You were there when I failed exams or missed important appointments due to those issues. I would be worried about the future, or thinking about anything else, instead of truly being present, of simply paying attention. That cost me a lot, as you know.

That is why I feel I must recommend something to you - something that has been helping me a lot. I've told about some of the philosophies I've studying lately. One thing they all seem to have in common is the insistence on living in the present. When we lack focus, when we do not listen properly, when we do things on autopilot, we are missing the present moment. We are either reliving the past or anticipating the future, both of which are not a reality right now.

I believe you would benefit greatly from a few practices. Mindfulness meditation, for instance, can teach you how to focus. It can help you tune out that noise in your head that takes your attention away from what is truly happening at the moment. If you'd like, I can help you get started.

(Friend's name), we only live in the moment. Whatever it is that we are doing deserves our full, undivided attention. If you choose to focus, there is nothing you can't achieve. And I can guarantee life will seem to flow more easily.

Sincerely,

...

What kind of spelling error do you see in the following passage?
marin [14]

Answer:

The spelling error happens with the word "accept". The word should be spelled "except". The error is caused by the similar pronunciation of the two words.

Explanation:

It is not uncommon for certain words to be confused with another because of the way they sound. That is what happens with "accept" and "except". However, mistaking one for the other can lead to an error, since they convey very different meanings.<u> "Accept" is a verb that means to receive, to welcome. On the other hand, "except" can function as a preposition or a conjunction, and it means "excluding" or "leaving out".</u> Take a look at the examples below:

- I accept your apologies.

- I will visit everyone except cousin Marjorie.

<u>Now, in the question, the sentence's context asks for the use of "except" instead of "accept". The speaker means that everyone but him (excluding him) made two-dimensional works.</u> The sentence should be:

- Everyone, that is, except for me.
