In the character descriptions preceding the play, Jim is described as a "nice, ordinary, young man." He is the emissary from the world of normality. Yet this ordinary and simple person, seemingly out of place with the other characters, plays an important role in the climax of the play.

The audience is forewarned of Jim's character even before he makes his first appearance. Tom tells Amanda that the long-awaited gentleman caller is soon to come. Tom refers to Jim as a plain person, someone over whom there is no need to make a fuss. He earns only slightly more than does Tom and can in no way be compared to the magnificent gentlemen callers that Amanda used to have.

Jim's plainness is seen in his every action. He is interested in sports and does not understand Tom's more illusory ambitions to escape from the warehouse. His conversation shows him to be quite ordinary and plain. Thus, while Jim is the long-awaited gentleman caller, he is not a prize except in Laura's mind.

The ordinary aspect of Jim's character seems to come to life in his conversation with Laura. But it is contact with the ordinary that Laura needs. Thus it is not surprising that the ordinary seems to Laura to be the essence of magnificence. And since Laura had known Jim in high school when he was the all-American boy, she could never bring herself to look on him now in any way other than exceptional. He is the one boy that she has had a crush on. He is her ideal.

Please help!!!<br><br> i need nouns, simile, metaphors, onomatopoeia, and hyperbole
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

Nouns: you, I

Hyperbole: Throw my hand on a blade

Metaphor: I'd catch a grenade for you

Onomatopoeia: ( I suggest if you can, choose another song, onomatopoeia is normally characterized by sounds of things for example if he said Grenades go BOOM that would be onomatopoeia)

Similie: same thing, look for song that use comparative language such as like or as in their metaphors because that's what really makes a simile
