Answer:

  The aliens are without mercy.

Explanation:

  The author is using a metaphor. This is a figure of speech that makes a comparison between two things that are unrelated but share common characteristics.

  The heart is often used in literature as a comparison of emotion or empathy with others, so by saying that "hardened their hearts" the author is implying that they would no show mercy anymore.

  I hope this answer helps you.

Love is like the wild rose-briar, Friendship is like the holly-tree— The holly is dark when the rose-briar blooms But which will
Finger [1]

Answer:

These supporting details reveal the speaker of the poem thinks friendship is more constant than love.

Explanation:

The excerpt we are studying here was taken from Emily Bronte's "Love and Friendship". In this poem, the speaker compares love to a wild-briar, while friendship is likened to a holly-tree. Love, like the rose-briar, is intense. Its scent fills the air, and it blooms beautifully, but as soon as winter comes, it perishes. Winter is a metaphor for difficulties. In the speaker's opinion, love does not survive hardship. On the other hand, like a holly-tree, friendship lasts. It may not be as attractive as a rose-briar, but it is constant, and does not die during winter. Friendship is, therefore, more constant than love, and that is the main idea of the poem.

Which sentence in this excerpt from a literary analysis essay is most likely the thesis statement
Dmitrij [34]

The given question is incomplete as the excerpt is not given. The excerpt should be given below:

'O. Henry's short story "The Gift of Magi" is about a couple who are deeply in love. Della and Jim are poor, but they each want to buy the other a special Christmas present. Because they have no money, they sell their own priced possessions to be able to afford presents for each other. O. Henry uses his short story "The Gift of Magi" to show that poverty cannot affect true love. Despite having no luxuries, Della and Jim are willing to make sacrifices for each other because their love is true.'

The sentence in this excerpt from a literary analysis essay which is most likely the thesis statement is 'O. Henry uses his short story "The Gift of Magi" to show that poverty cannot affect true love.'  A thesis statement is typically stated in a single sentence, however it might be repeated elsewhere.

  • O. Henry illustrates that true love is unaffected by poverty in his short story "The Gift of Magi" because it captures the essence of his point.
  • Della sells her hair so that she may afford a chain for Jim's pocket watch, while Jim sells his lovely pocket watch so that he can buy a brooch for Della's lovely long hair.
  • As a result, their tangible gifts are meaningless, but one has nonetheless shown the other that they are capable of sacrificing their most valued assets for one another, so demonstrating their love for one another.
  • The real gift they both receive from the Magi on that particular Christmas day is this realisation.

Therefore, the sentence in this excerpt from a literary analysis essay which is most likely the thesis statement is 'O. Henry uses his short story "The Gift of Magi" to show that poverty cannot affect true love.' An essay's, research paper's, etc. core idea or claim is succinctly summarised in the thesis statement.

What is the prepositional phrase in the sentence? My best friend lives down the street
iris [78.8K]
The correct answer is C. down the street.
As the name itself says, a prepositional phrase begins with a preposition. The only preposition in the sentence above is the word <em /><em>down, </em>which means that the following words are going to make a prepositional phrase with it. This prepositional phrase is telling us the location of the friend, where he or she lives.

Which is NOT a form of Irony? Sarcasm Dramatic Situational Coincidence
pentagon [3]
Coincidence is not a form of irony. Sarcasm obviously is, Dramatic is when the reader/viewer knows more than the character in the plot. Situational irony is when the opposite of what's expected happens, and Coincidence is not an irony.
