In "My Name," the line "My name is the Mexican records my father plays on Sunday

English

Lelechka [254]3 years ago

The correct answer is Metaphor

Explanation:

In the line presented, the author Sandra Cisneros is comparing her name to the Mexican records her father listens; this is likely because her name has an important Mexican influence. Moreover, in terms of figurative or literary devices, this is known as a metaphor because the author is trying to explain the meaning of her name through a comparison between the name and the records. Also, this is not a simile because there is not an explicit word for comparison such as "like", or personification because there are not objects, places, etc. that had been given human traits.

Give me the opposite of this sentence, "Children in the dark make mistakes."
Volgvan

No. "Children in the dark make mistakes" does not have the same meaning as "Mistakes in the dark make children." The first implies that without sufficient light, children would make mistakes, while the second implies that if you make mistakes in the dark, you'll have children.

The opposite of this sentence: "Children in the dark make mistakes", should be "Mistakes are made when Children are in a dark area".

hope this helps
