The author uses the setting, narrator, and characters to emphasize figures of speech and figurative language that establish the meaning and tone of the story.

<h3>Why does the author do this?</h3>
  • Because figurative language allows the presentation of a deeper meaning.
  • Because the use of figurative language emphasizes less literal and more sentimental concepts.
  • Because the use of figures of speech allows for more diversified use of words.

"The refusal," tells the story of a small town that accepts whatever the state capital offers, even if it is meaningless or harmful to the small town.

The story tells presents a strong social critique about the lack of critical thinking and ability to make their own decisions many individuals have.

However, the author wanted to disseminate this criticism in a deep, subjunctive way, with great use of words and in a less literal way, but capable of adapting to the relationship of each reader.

For this reason, he makes strong use of figurative language, where he uses figures of speech such as metaphors to establish the characters and setting in a way that furthers the meanings of the plot.

In her poem “In a Queen’s Domain,” what does Piatt seem to be inferring about the world in these lines" And my subject, the dove
Lelu [443]
Piatt conveys her realist views about nature and society through this poem. She seems to suggest that the world, like nature, is not always ideal. She paints a rational picture of society: “And my subject, the dove, coos on, / Though my hand creep close to her nest.” These lines convey how the world is made up of good people and bad people. The dove represents the people who are benign and trusting, even with those out to harm them. The dubious actions of the narrator of the poem depict those people who try to take advantage of the trust and loyalty of the gentle people. The speaker is depicted as flawed and human. She can hurt others and also be hurt by others. Piatt does not seem to adhere to the romantic idealization of nature and women.
