The type of figurative language used in the excerpt is Personification. When the author gives the sun a <em>human characteristic (pitiless sun)</em>, he uses the figurative language Personification to enrich the text.

Personification is a <em>figurative language technique where objects, ideas or animals are given human characteristics or qualities.</em> <em>The sun, for example, can't be pitiless, as well as it can't pity.</em> Only people can pity someone else or something because pity is a feeling or an attitude. Thus, the technique of Personification is used by the author.

That enriches the text because <em>the sun is given movement, action.</em> It seems like its incidence over those who face the drought, in the excerpt, <em>is stronger and intentioned</em> because of its Personification. The author is able to<em> express the character's feelings and impressions</em> without saying it literally. The figurative language creates <em>an image</em> and is able to express more than if the author had used descriptive language. The text adopts a <em>poetic tone</em>, which can cause the reader to <em>perceive feelings and sensations</em>. Hence, the text is enriched by the use of the figurative language Personification.

Write an essay that compares and contrasts the nose by Nikolai go go to another magical realist story.
finlep [7]

This is a delightful and witty short story with that very Russian sense of the surreal combined with satire, that one sees in Bulgakov's writings (Bulgakov was an admirer of Gogol's work). I could go into all sorts of linguistic and psychological analysis of the symbolism of a man losing his nose, or I probably could if I knew Russian. But I suspect that rather misses the point. As the story says: Nonsense really does occur in this world, and, sometimes, nonsense altogether without an element of plausibility.  I do not know what you can compare it with.  Have you got any options? I think that you can get help with it if you check i tat the professional site. Prime Writings is the site with interesting blog on essay writing.

Identify the prepositional phrase after we finish our reports , we are going to the movies
vaieri [72.5K]
A prepositional phrase starts with a preposition. Although after can be used as a preposition, in this case it is an adverb, and is followed by a clause, not a phrase. The correct answer is thus to the movies, because the phrase starts with the preposition to.

Amber has been asked to identify the meter of "Sonnet 18.” She is highlighting the syllables that should be stressed.
bogdanovich [222]

The syllables that Amber can highlight are B (of-), D (is,) and F (gold).

<h3>What are syllables with examples?</h3>

In English, a syllable is known to be a portion of a word that has a one vowel sound and that is often voiced out or pronounced as a specific unit.

An example in the scenario above is that ' gold' has one syllable, and ' of' has one syllable.

Thus, option "B, D and F" is correct.
