Which type of figurative language is used in this sentence from George Orwell’s novel Keep the Aspidistra Flying?

English
1 answer:
slavikrds [6]4 years ago
8 0

The figurative language used is a metaphor. A flashback refers to a previous event and there's no indication of Orwell referring to any previous events in this sentence. An oxymoron is when contradictory words are used in a conjunction such as faith unfaithful kept him falsely true. The word usage in this sentence isn't contradictory as it flows well in this sentence. A euphemism is a nice way to say a bothering statement. The sentence isn't any sort of bad claim, so the option of a euphemism is out of the question. A metaphor compares two things without using the words "like" or "as". In this sentence, Orwell compares advertising to the rattling of a stick inside of a swill-bucket. This makes metaphor the correct answer. Hope this helped :))

In John Steinbeck’s “The Turtle,” what action does the driver of the light truck take when he sees the turtle?
bixtya [17]
Unlike the woman in the sedan who swung off the road in an effort not to hit the turtle, the driver of the light truck actually veered to hit it. So, he struck it on the verge of the shell, and it flipped and flew off the road, to safety. Frightened and motionless, the turtle kept lying on its back, and then it started an effort to roll over and go away.

Answer:

Mr. Wolfshiem

Explanation:

The was extracted from The Great Gatsby a Novel by F. Scott Fitzgerald.

Nick and Gatsby saw Mr. Wolfshiem

Mr. Wolfshiem decided to leave Nick and Gatsby alone to talk after he (Mr. Wolfshiem) finished his lunch.

Though, Gatsby told him not to be in haste (to leave), Mr. Wolfshiem declined.

What Mr. Wolfshiem meant by being "from a different generation" is that, he was much older that Nick and Gatsby (he later on stated this, when he said he was 50 years old)

Mr. Wolfshiem appreciated that he was invited to lunch and he also made it known that he didn't really care to impose on Gatsby's chat with Nick about their discussion

When you are using a source in your paper, when is it appropriate to use a direct quote and when should you paraphrase? Why?
ratelena [41]
When you are using a source in your paper, you can use a direct quote when you want to report the exact thing that the author said. In this case, the sentence must be put inside a quotation mark to show that you are quoting the author directly. When writing a paper that uses sources, you are expected to paraphrase the content, direct quote should only be used when it becomes absolutely necessary and the source must be acknowledged. This is very important in order to avoid plagiarism in your work. <span />
