Answer:

The figurative language in this excerpt means: He had many arrows and let them all fall at his feet.

Explanation:

Figurative language is that by which a word expresses an idea using other terms, thus appealing to a similarity, be it real or imaginary. Figurative language opposes literal language, since it uses words with their true meaning, that is, it refers to things as they are.

In this case, the expression "He poured out his feet to the rain of arrows from the quiver" in a literally meaningful language would mean that it rained arrows, but as the phrase was written in figurative language it means "He had many arrows and let them all fall at his feet. "

Odysseus has just revealed himself to the suitors, and the pouring out of the arrows ‘like rain’ shows everyone there that he has ample ammunition - they are as many as drops of rain. It also forewarns the rapidity and ease with which the arrows will be dispatched.

What would be a good question to ask Ji-li the author?
zloy xaker [14]
A good question to ask her is:
When did she start writing?
What gave her the idea to write her book?
What is her favorite place to write?
How does she sit still long enough to write (That's something I can't do for more than a few minutes, so I'd like to know!)

Explain Eugene's perspective on what's happening in this scene. Support your response with details from the text.
Ghella [55]
From Eugenes point of view he is tired of Kate nagging him. Hence the sarcasm in the quote “You said yesterday , “I told you a hundred and nine times not to leave your things around the house.” From looking at Blanche’s input we can also tell that Eugene is being sarcastic or “smart” towards Kate by the quote “Don’t be fresh to your mother , Gene!”

melisa1 [442]

Answer:

I think that the tone of Orwell’s essay progressively changes. In the beginning of the essay, Orwell’s tone is almost lecturing, telling us what’s wrong with the English language and how to fix.
