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.

Describe a perfect thanksgiving meal
SOVA2 [1]

Explanation:

A perfect Thanksgiving meal isn't just about the food it's about family and friends. Many families weren't able to see each other this year and I think the perfect Thanksgiving meal would be having family together, and of course Turkey. My favorite part about Thankgiving is ( Write a sentence or two about YOUR fav part and dont make it corny like "eating is my favorite part" say something about a tradition or something and go into detail a.little bit ) So to me thats my perfect thanksgiving.
