Answer:

He means that he will not take insults from any member of the Montague family.

The literary device used is a "pun".

Explanation:

In William Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet", the two families of the protagonists, Montague and Capulet are sworn enemies. They couldn't see eye to eye, so even this enmity spreads to the whole branch of the household members and their friends. The characters of Sampson and Gregory are from the house of Capulet.

Act I scene i begins with Sampson claiming that they "will not carry coals", by which he meant to say that they will not endure or even take any insults from any Montague. This use of  "pun" is significant of the fact that those who carry coals are called colliers.

Which two of these excerpts from Homer’s Odyssey depict the gods’ involvement in mortal affairs?
Elan Coil [88]
I am pretty sure about the second excerpt, it directly shows gods' involvement in mortal affairs
Then thus Minerva in Laertes' ear:"Son of Arcesius, reverend warrior, hear!Jove and Jove's daughter first implore in prayer,Then, whirling high, discharge thy lance in air."
And I believe that the next correct answer is
“But, tell me who thou art? and what thy race?
Thy town, thy parents, and thy native place?
Or, if a merchant in pursuit of gain,
What port received thy vessel from the main?
Or comest thou single, or attend thy train?”

Five paragraph essay on should teens be allowed to skip school
Assoli18 [71]
U better thank me (: I did this essay before

       Not only can skipping school have a toll on your academics, but it can damage your personal life, too. Some activities that students take part in while they are skipping class can be deadly. Studies have shown that kids can become involved in drugs, alcohol, gangs, vandalism and more, of which none result in a positive outcome. For instance, in Florida two years ago, three high school students decided to skip the last day of school and go down to the beach. On their way, they were in a car accident and all were killed. Going through one more day of school could have saved their lives.

Skipping school determines your everyday life but has just as big of an impact on your future. Missing important lessons on school can lead to missing questions on major tests like the HSPE or SAT/ACT. Also, being involved in some of the activities I listed above while skipping school can lead to suspension, expulsion, or even jail. Going to school will keep you safer and makes your resume and future applications look much better.

In brief, skipping school has more negative than positive sides. Teachers and students should not allow anyone to miss out on school and then come back with no consequences. There should be a certain number of “sick days” that a person is allowed before suspension or possible expulsion comes into place. In my opinion, it should be school every day or no school at all. Whatever one you choose is your decision, but consider your future before you turn off the alarm clock.
