English

Lemur [1.5K]3 years ago
3 0
Hi! a figure of speech is a phrase used in a non-literal sense, with a meaning behind it. knowing this, we can try to find which one is a figure of speech!

you can generally tell what each sentence means. both b, c, and d say it in a literal sense and get to the point. for example, d mentions that the falling snow made them struggle to see in the dim light.

so, A is the figure of speech! it says, the snowflakes danced across the lawn, not sticking or accumulating at all. you can guess, that the snowflakes very obviously did not dance!

hope this helped!:)

Can someone write me a short story?
Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

The Haunted Forest

Once upon a time there was a family, made up of two young ones and their parents, traveling by road to road. One day the car broke down in the forest. The parents went out to get help, and so the children would not get bored, they left them with the radio on. It turned night time and the parents still did not return. Then suddenly they heard the disturbing news go on in the radio: A very dangerous killer had escaped from a prison near the forest. Hours passed and the children's parents did not come back. Suddenly, they began to hear something really loud. ¨Bang, Bang, Bang¨. They heard that which seemed to come from something hitting the top of the car. Then, the sound became louder and louder every time. ¨BANG, BANG, BANG¨. The terrified children could no longer resist. They opened the door and ran in a hurry. Only the eldest of the children dared to turn his head to see what caused the loud noise. He should have not done it though, there was a large and scary man on top of the car, who hit the top of the vehicle with something on his hands, they were the heads of his parents! The children began to run even faster and the large man began to run towards them. The children ran into the forest and so did the large man. After that day no one ever saw those children ever again, and who knows, they may appear mysteriously next to you.

Hope this helps!!

Can someone help me with an analysis of "How does Betjeman use imagery fir effect in the poem "Harrow-On-The-Hill"?
Sever21 [200]

Answer:

Sometimes, poets use enhance their descriptive prowess by appealing to our sense of smell, touch, sight, taste or hearing by intentionally selecting and using certain words. This technique in literature is referred to as Imagery.

1. With respect to the poem by John Betjeman "Harrow-On-The-Hill", we see a repeated use of words with relate to hearing. For example, in the third line he states:

"The poplars near the stadium are <em>trembly</em>"

And in the fourth line he writes,

"With their <em>tap and tap</em> and <em>whispering to me</em>"  

He uses this imagery to paint a picture of Autumn (the period of the year just before winter when the weather transitions from a warmer climate to a cooler one). It is clear from the Johns depiction that it is still Autumn but it's nearly winter. A trembly and whispering poplar suggests that the weather was windy.

2. In the third line of the second verse he writes:

<em>"And the constant click and kissing of the trolley buses hissing"</em>

Again we see the use of visual and auditory imagery by the use of the words highlighted above.

From this line, it's easy to tell that John is trying to describe the busyness of the rocky island.

See also the words <em>rumble</em>,  and <em>thunder</em>  in lines 5 and 6 of verse two which appeal to hearing.

3. In verse 3, we see words from lines 1 & 2 which appeal to what can be seen. Line 5 is a great example of visually captivating imagery. It states:

<em>"Can those boats be only roof tops"</em>

When trawlers are very far from harbor, they appear tiny and sometimes, only their roofs can be seen from such a distance.

John captures the scenery with his line above.

In summary, John uses a lot of auditory and visual imagery in his poem "HarrowOn-The-Hill".

Cheers!
