Read the passage from “="_blank">I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings.” Occasionally, though, Mrs. Flowers would drift off the roa

d and down to the Store and Momma would say to me, "Sister, you go on and play." As I left I would hear the beginning of an intimate conversation. Momma persistently using the wrong verb, or none at all. "Brother and Sister Wilcox is sho'ly the meanest—" "Is," Momma? "Is"? Oh, please, not "is," Momma, for two or more. But they talked, and from the side of the building where I waited for the ground to open up and swallow me, I heard the soft-voiced Mrs. Flowers and the textured voice of my grandmother merging and melting. They were interrupted from time to time by giggles that must have come from Mrs. Flowers (Momma never giggled in her life). Marguerite’s thoughts in this passage help the reader to infer that Mrs. Flowers feels she is superior to Momma. is embarrassed by Momma. thinks of Momma as a friend. likes to make fun of Momma.

According to this passage, Margarita’s thoughts help the reader infer that Mrs. Flowers “thinks of Momma as a friend”. Evidence is shown in the passage that when Momma and Mrs. Flowers are talking, Mrs. Flowers is giggling but not to make fun of Momma’s way of speaking but because of what Momma is telling her. Also, by mentioning in the text that they engaged in an “<em>intimate conversation</em>” shows that Mrs. Flowers is not embarrassed or does not feel superior to Momma. Instead, what this passage shows is that Margarita is embarrassed by Momma’s way of speaking: “<em>I waited for the ground to open up and swallow me</em>”.

Papessa [141]

Answer:

Simile.

Explanation:

A figurative language also known as figures of speech can be defined as a deliberate and specific construction or use of language by authors, writers or speakers to create a special effect in their speech or write-up.

The main purpose of a figurative language is to convey more information and enable the readers or listeners have a deeper understanding of the piece.

Some examples of figurative language used in a literary work are oxymoron, paradox, metaphor, apostrophe, hyperbole, personification, simile, etc.

Simile has to do with the comparison of two things by using the word; as or like.

Hence, the type of figurative language used in the above write-up is simile.
