Option "B" is an example of metaphor: <em>"Her room was a pigsty."</em> A metaphor describes an object but in a way that it isn't literally true. When using a metaphor, you are comparing things <u>indirectly</u>; that's why you are making use of figurative language (not literal language). In the example, "her room" is being compare with an enclosure for pigs (i.e. her room is really dirty and a mess.)

Options "A" and "C" are examples of similes which are other way of comparing two different things, but in a <u>direct</u> manner. The words "like" or "as" are used for similes.

Option "D": There's no comparison by neither a metaphor nor a simile; just a description of her "room" by means of a descriptive adjective.

The following types of conflicts between  Romeo vs. Tybalt, Mercutio vs. Tybalt, Mercutio vs. Romeo, Mercutio vs. Mercutio, Romeo vs. Verona, Juliet vs. Lord Capulet, Juliet vs. Juliet, in Romeo and Juliet.

Tybalt plans to get revenge by battling Romeo, but when Romeo declines, he kills Mercutio, Romeo's closest friend. When Tybalt asks for a word with him, the irascible Mercutio responds, "Make it a word and a blow," in keeping with form.

According to the critic Stephen Greenblatt, Mercutio is a force in the play that serves to undermine the likelihood of romantic love and the influence of tragic destiny. Lord Capulet is a little bit of a dictator after his violently unpleasant reaction to Juliet's "disobedience."

In the lengthy argument with Juliet over whether or not she will wed Paris, the physical violence is most obvious.

What is the subject matter in A letter to god​
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

Explanation:

On the surface, it is about the need of 100 pasos. However, the story goes much deeper and although some people regard it as funny, it did not strike me that way.

The central character was looking forward to harvesting a bumper crop of corn and beans. The field was in need only of a little water. What developed was a rain in the form of hail and as he observes, "a cloud of locusts would have left us more than this storm."

In the middle of the night he gets the idea of writing to God asking for the 100   pasos. The postmaster opens the letter and reading the request, is touched by it. He collects all he could but it only came to 70 pasos.

Not enough.

So the farmer writes a second letter which is the point of the "joke."

I guess laughter did not occur to me because he was not grateful that he got anything at all, but angry because there was a shortage. Of course had he shown gratitude, there would have had to have been a different kind of story written. Still, I look forward to some writer picking up the story and ending it with gratitude.
