Rewrite the altered excerpt from Ray Bradbury's "All Summer in a Day" with the correct punctuation for fluency. It was as if in

the midst of a film concerning an avalanche a tornado a hurricane a volcanic eruption something had first gone wrong with the sound apparatus thus muffling and finally cutting off all noise all of the blasts and repercussions and thunders, and then second ripped the film from the projector and inserted in its place a peaceful tropical slide which did not move or tremor The world ground to a standstill The silence was so immense and unbelievable that you felt your ears had been stuffed or you had lost your hearing altogether The children put their hands to their ears They stood apart The door slid back and the smell of the silent, waiting world came in to them

Answer:

It was as if, in the midst of a film concerning an avalanche, a tornado, a hurricane, a volcanic eruption, something had, first, gone wrong with the sound apparatus, thus muffling and finally cutting off all noise, all of the blasts and repercussions and thunders, and then, second, ripped the film from the projector and inserted in its place a beautiful tropical slide which did not move or tremor. The world ground to a standstill. The silence was so immense and unbelievable that you felt your ears had been stuffed or you had lost your hearing altogether. The children put their hands to their ears. They stood apart. The door slid back and the smell of the silent, waiting world came in to them.

Answer:

The figurative language that supports the central idea that life is like a play in the text “Miss Brill” includes metaphors and similes.

Explanation:

Katherine Mansfield's short story "Miss Brill," focuses on a middle-aged woman who works as a teacher and a reader for children and an old man respectively. Every Sunday she goes to the French public park named Jardins Publiques wearing her shabby coat and fur. Sitting there she views everything happening around her as a play - the surroundings form the set and the people in the park as the actors. When she faces a dilemma between fantasy and reality she tends to retreat into her self-imposed exile. This is expressed with the use of figurative language. The use of figures of speech makes a literary piece more effective and impactful. Figurative language involves a wide range of literary devices. In this story, metaphors and similes are in use to enhance the story's plot. Some examples are:

<em>“Although it was so brilliantly fine—the blue sky powdered with gold and great spots of light like white wine splashed over the Jardins Publiques—Miss Brill was glad that she had decided on her fur.”</em> Here, a metaphor and simile are intertwined.

<em>"He scraped with his foot and flapped his arms like a rooster about to  crow, and the bandsmen sitting in the green rotunda blew out their cheeks and glared at the music."</em> Here, the simile gives a clear picture of the conductor of the musicians that were playing.

<em>“The old people sat on the bench, still as statues.” </em>Here, it's a simile that has been used.
