Answer:

Imagery- creates a clear picture in the reader’s mind.

Symbolism- represents an abstract idea with a concrete object.

Alliteration- calls attention to certain words and creates a rhythm with words.

Oxymoron- makes readers pause and think about the contradiction created with two opposing words.

Explanation:

There are numerous literary devices that writers use in their works. Such literary devices or techniques allows them to perfectly present their ideas and proposed effects to the readers.

Imagery is the use of descriptive words to help readers paint a picture in their heads about what is talked about. This also allows the presentation of ideas in such a way that the readers can identify and even imagine the scenes of the story, giving it a perfect way of expression to the writer's words.

eg, He wore a white crisp shirt and bright red trousers.

Symbolism is the use of certain symbols to signify or represent ideas, themes, and purposes. It uses certain objects or even words to represent or stand for an abstract idea that the writer wants to convey rather than directly state it. It makes reading more interesting and fun.

eg, A dove is a symbol of peace.

Alliteration is the use of the same letters of a given word in quick succession or close quarters. This creates a form of rhythm to the words used, making certain words or phrases stand out and also provide a bit of musicality to the words/ work.

eg, The <u>baby blue basket and bib</u> make for a great combination of colors for the whole dreary scene.

An oxymoron is when two contrasting words are placed together in a given sentence. This rhetorical device is self-contradictory but provides a great impact or effect in the sentence.

eg, When we went to meet him, we never expect him to be <u>seriously funny</u>.

Would you sacrifice money, comfort, and security for what you believe in? Give me a response as to WHY you would sacrifice money
oee [108]

Yes.

You're belief is essentially your core, and without it, you would not survive. It is not a true belief if you are going to give it away easily. Ever heard of the question, "What is the meaning of life?". What everybody finds is the meaning is extremely different from everyone-else.The meaning is shaped through your actions, beliefs, your influences, and even nature. Without 'beliefs', you are empty inside.

As the quote says: "<em>Yet when I considered all the works that my hands had accomplished and what I had toiled to achieve, I found everything to be futile, a pursuit of the wind; there was nothing to be gained under the sun.</em>"

Without meaning, you would think everything is rubbish, and that you had no purpose in life.

How do you find purpose? You find purpose through your own core beliefs, as well as those around you. When everyone's beliefs has a positive aspect to it, humanity is able to grow for the better, and everything would work out well. If the beliefs of some are not right, it would destroy themselves and possibly others too.

Personally, I would sacrifice money, comfort, and security, for what I believe in, because it is a part of me. If i sacrifice my beliefs, it would be like taking away my inside, leaving me as an empty shell. Without the beliefs, "<em>Every is meaningless, a chasing after the wind.</em>"

One can argue that if one is rich, and has all the goods in the world, they would be happy they would be secure and comfortable, but that is not true, for "<em>For what profits a man if he gains the whole world but loses his own soul.</em>"

In the end, it is up to the viewer, should one keep their worldly riches and desire but find no meaning, or should one continue in their beliefs, in hope of what they believing being the correct, and the answer to their meaning of life?
