English

I would say the correct answer is <span>2. She has forgotten why she came. This is perhaps the most devastating and intriguing detail in the whole story. Phoenix has embarked on such a long and exhausting journey because she loves her grandson; but then her memory betrays her. Some critics even suggest the possibility that her grandson had died, which caused a trauma for Phoenix.</span>

Civility vs savagery in lord of the flies chapter 2
-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

At first, the signal fire symbolizes rescue. But as it grows out of control, it symbolizes danger and death, foreshadowing how it will later become associated with destruction and savagery.

In chapter 2, Jack begins to display his domineering, disruptive behavior by interrupting Ralph's speech and unceremoniously ending the assembly as soon as Ralph mentions a signal fire. Jack's violent behavior and antagonistic attitude directed at Piggy foreshadows their future conflicts.

What metaphors are in my last duchess and what is the message they convey?
stepladder [879]

Robert Browning's "My Last Duchess" does not rely heavily on metaphors. It is rather a monologue delivered by the speaker describing a painting of his wife and his wife as a person when she was still living. The painting can be said to symbolize the wife, the last duchess. There are a few metaphors sprinkled throughout the poem, though, as the speaker paints a verbal portrait of his former wife.

When the speaker says in lines 1-2 "That’s my last Duchess painted on the wall, / Looking as if she were alive," his choice of words could be considered metaphorical. The duchess herself is not literally on the wall; rather, this is a painting or a likeness of her, which stands in for her throughout the poem. One of the few metaphors in the poem is the "spot of joy" referenced by the speaker. The speaker suggests that most people wonder what exactly makes his lady smile and appear happy in the painting.
