CASSIUS: Messala, This is my birthday . . . . Now I change my mind, And partly credit things that do presage. . . . Two mighty e

agles fell . . . . And in their steads do ravens, crows, and kites Fly o’er our heads and downward look on us, As we are sickly prey. Their shadows seem A canopy most fatal under which Our army lies, ready to give up the ghost.

Answer: Cassius' use of figurative language foreshadows the possible fate of his and Brutus' army because these images are foretelling the defeat of both armies. They will be the pray for the animals that are now overflowing them.

Explanation:  In "The Tragedy of Julius Caesar", by William Shakespeare Cassius interprets the sign of ravens circling overhead the day of the battle as a bad omen for the battle's outcome. He thinks the raven and crows are looking at them as "sickly prays".

By using figurative language, Shakespeare creates a visual image of Octavius’ army overtaking them like inescapable death. Cassius’ words foreshadow later events in act 5.

Read the poem "The Snake" by Emily Dickinson.
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

A) She uses comparisons to show the speaker’s connection to the snake .

Explanation:

Well, in the poem, she sees a snake slithering through the grass. With that view, she remembers a time when she was younger and interacted with a snake:

"A narrow fellow in the grass...

------------------------------------------------

Yet when a child, and barefoot,

I more than once, at morn..."

Dickinson also said how the snake seemed scary to a lot of people, but in reality it was not:

"But never met this fellow,

Attended or alone,

Without a tighter breathing,

And zero at the bone.
