I don’t know what you want but it looks like what you put in is correct. It is proper English to me. It is correct.
Answer: hello your question are based on the excerpt <em>The Alchemist </em>
- He believes Santiago shouldn't have to clean just to eat
- To feed the hungry as commanded by the Koran
- He feels he wont have anything to live for again
- Cleansing of his heart of bad thoughts and
building of a display case outside the shop to attract customers
Explanation:
- The Crystal merchant fed Santiago because he believes he shouldn't have to clean before he can feed him and moreover the Koran commands
- The obligation the Crystal merchant desires to do is to feed the hungry as commanded by the Koran
- He doesn't go because he feels he would lose everything ( i.e. he wont have anything to live for )
- The two new ideas suggested by Santiago are : Cleansing of his heart of bad thoughts and building of a display case outside the shop to attract customers
Answer:
The sentence which best describes one effect of the poet's use of figurative language in this excerpt is:
C. It gives the speaker the quality of empathy to show that he is open to the pain of other Vietnam veterans.
Explanation:
"Facing It" is a poem by Yusef Komunyakaa. The speaker of the poem is visiting a memorial for those who lost their lives in the Vietnam War. He cannot help but feel deeply touched by the names and images he sees.
In the particular excerpt we are analyzing here, we find the following figurative language:
... then his pale eyes / look through mine. I'm a window."
<u>When the speaker says he is a window, he is using a metaphor. What he means is that, just like light enters a window, those images enter his eyes, mind, and heart. He is empathetic to the pain of those people, and he is now forever changed, forever affected by what he has seen.</u>
