This is an example of a metaphor.

Figurative language uses figures of speech to be more effective, persuasive and impactful. They give readers new insights, expand the readers' interpretations and broaden their imaginings. In other words, they appeal to the senses of the readers.

Figurative language is common in literature and poetry. Some of the devices of figurative language are: alliteration, hyperbole, metaphor, personification, simile and symbolism.

<em>A metaphor</em> is a comparison between two things. They have to make a link in the reader's mind.

<em>The cup of endurance runs over</em> is a metaphor as it compares the cup with a measure of time. As the cup runs over so does the time finishes. This metaphor, written by Martin Luther King Jr, refers to the experience of racial intolerance. Racial intolerance could only be lived with for a limited period of time after which the situation will/must change.

Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

Hamlet doesn't kill Claudius at this point because he believes that Claudius is praying. He says that killing the king NOW would be "hire and salary, not revenge!" He simply cannot send Claudius to heaven, where he would surely go were he killed just after praying and purging his sins.

In at least two hundred words, explain how the musician from "Arrangement in Black and White" relates to the African
VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

In "The Negro Artist and the Racial Mountain," Hughes talks about the importance of identity and race in art. He argues that a true artist cannot be one in a way that is separate from his own identity. This is particularly true in the United States, where your racial background determines every aspect of who you are, what opportunities you have access to, and how people treat you.

This is illustrated in "Arrangement in Black and White." In this story, we see an African American artist who is admired by a white woman. The woman considers herself to be liberal and accepting of others. However, she is unable to look past her own racism and bias, despite her claim of being modern and understanding. This supports Hughes idea of the artist being unable to be an artist independently from his racial identity.
