Anna [14]

Answer:

A feminist analysis would focus on how the men discuss Mrs. Ochuba. A historical analysis would focus on whether using a native doctor was considered superstitious at the time and place the story depicts.

Explanation:

In order to answer this we need to define the terms "feminist analysis" and "historical analysis". While both of them are types of analysis of literary work, they differ in goals.

Feminist analysis focuses on analyzing in what manner women are presented in literature and also the role of gender in the character's actions and development.

On the other hand, historical analysis is the method used to help us understand the past. It focuses on examining a literature work and by doing so, learning about everyday life, tradition, customs and connecting it to a certain place and period in time.

Ann [662]

Answer:

The best answer to the question: What type of figurative language is "It was "illegal" to aid and comfort a Jew in Hitler´s Germany. But I am sure that, if O had lived in Germany during that time, I would have aided and comforted my Jewish brothers even though it was illegal", would be, Allusion.

Explanation:

This particular excerpt comes from Martin Luther King´s "Letter from Brimigham Jail" when Dr. King is being accused of injustice in his attempt at aiding the cause for the Civil Rights Movement. The speech that is born from his time in jail, is probably one of the most literary-rich texts ever written, with a lot of figurative language having been used by Dr. King, in his attempt to sway people, and convince them to see, the righteousness of his cause. Figurative language is a technique in literature, and writing, that serves as a means to indirectly express a specific purpose, but through subtle, and sometimes hidden, symbols, words, images, or other such techniques. Figurative language seeks to engage the creative and interpretive mind of an audience or reader and to stimulate their capacity to feel moved by the messages being sent through the senses. In this excerpt, Dr. King uses a particular figurative language device called Allusion, which is literally a device in which the writer uses historical data, facts and stories, in order to convey a specific message to the audience. By mentioning Hitler, and Nazi Germany, Dr. King alludes to the American people to compare the two cases: the African American Civil Rights cause, and the situation of the Jews unjustly punished by the Nazis, and helps Americans to have a historical reference that will convince them of the need to support the Civil Rights cause.

ROMEO AND JULIET
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

No, death of Mercutio does not seem to be justified.

Death of Mercutio can not be justified because his death was accidental.

Neither Tybalt's death seem to be justified.

Explanation:

Romeo and Juliet is a Romantic Tragedy written by William Shakespeare.

In Act 3, Scene 1, of the play, in a feud between Tybalt and Mercutio, Mercutio was killed accidentally by Tybalt. Tybalt and Mercutio entered the sword fight after Tybalt continues to instigate Romeo for fight and Mercutio, being hot-tempered, challenged Tybalt for the feud. To stop the fight, Romeo enters the feud and in this, Tybalt's sword escapes Romeo's arm and stabs Mercutio to death.

So, this shows that Mercutio does not seem to die and his death can not be justified as his death was an accident.

Death of Tybalt also does not seem to be justified as he was killed in anger by Romeo to avenge the death of his friend, Mercutio. After killing Tybalt, Romeo also seem to realize that he should not have killed Tybalt.
