All we Karamazovs are such insects, and... that insect lives in you, too. (from The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoevsky) [Metaphor]

A metaphor is a hidden comparison between two things which possess at least any one idea common to each other. The things may be completely different from each other but would have either one characteristic in common to them.

Why then, O brawling love, O loving hate, O anything, from nothing first create, O heavy lightness! Serious vanity! (from Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare) [Apostrophe]

In a sentence, when a speaker breaks off from pointing one party and instead points the third, the literary device used is said to be an Apostrophe.

I was quaking from head to foot, and could have hung my hat on my eyes, they stuck out so far. (from Old Times on the Mississippi by Mark Twain) [Hyperbole]

Hyperbole is an exaggerated statement which is not meant to be taken literally. They add comic relief in the sentence. Hyperbole is not a comparison as in metaphor or simile but an overstatement which is not to be taken in literal sense.

Think about the consequences Ghost faces as a result of his decision to steal a pair of running shoes. Do you think that the way
earnstyle [38]

Answer:

1.It is fair. 2. If he had been stopped by the police, he would've been to juvenile hall. 3. If his mother had discovered the theft she would've probably taken him out of the team. 4. If he had never been caught he would still have the belief that getting what he needed at all costs was alright. 5. Because he would've been scared and learned a lesson as well.

Explanation:

The way that Coach punished Ghost was fair since he needed to be called out to know that what he did was wrong. If he had been stopped by the police, he would've gone to juvenile hall. If his mom had discovered the theft, she would perhaps be mad and don't listen to Ghost's reasons, she could've grounded him and taken him out of the team that he loves. If he had never been caught, he would've probably become a real thief in the future. It might have been better for him to get caught since he could've gotten scared and never would've done it again.
