The author demonstrates a man's power by stating that "a man with a club was a lawgiver, a master to be obeyed, though not necessarily conciliated" (6).
C.
On page 6 of The Call of the Wild, Jack London demonstrates a man's power by stating that "a man with a club was a lawgiver, a master to be obeyed, though not necessarily conciliated" (The Call of the Wild 6).
D. The author demonstrates a man's power by stating that "a man with a club was a lawgiver, a master to be obeyed, though not necessarily conciliated" (London 6).
Answer:

Explanation:
Claire wants to use a direct quotation from Jack London's The Call of the Wild in page 6 of the book, therefore, the correct method for citing the quotation is option D.
This is because, it is correctly cited as appropriate quotation marks are used, and the last name of the author is used, including the page number.
Well for one, characterisation is how a writer chooses to reveal a characters personality in a story, through things like physical appearance (shiny hair, blue eyes, nice smile, ect.) and through virtues and faults (brave, attentive, smart - egotistical, bitter, evil.)
Figurative language is basically how you'd describe said chracterisations, through things like personification, hyperbole, metaphors, similes, ect.
So with that being said, figurative language can help characterise a monster by doing more than just saying it's a monster; figurative language can make it /feel/ like a monster to the reader. Figurative language can turn the monster '3-D' (for lack of better words), by saying it has long claws, stinky breath, vicious fangs, a horrifying growl, ect.
My favourite example of figurative language is actually in the childrens book "Where the Wild Things Are" by Maurice Sendak, because it uses simple figurative language. Maurice Sendak describes the wild things as so: "They roared their terrible roars and gnashed their terrible teeth and rolled their terrible eyes and showed their terrible claws.'
Anyway, I hope this helped !! :-)
Hands off
Don't try to touch them because their skin is tough and loose and they can quickly turn around and attack, and don't try to get them with a weapon as their skin is very hard to penetrate and would only irritate them further
Don't provoke them
When they feel threatened, they will attack and they are fierce fighters
Stay on the ground
Don't climb trees because they are very good climbers and will eventually catch up to you
