Answer:

Personification.

Explanation:

Personification is one of the literary device that writers and authors use in their works, giving human attributes to an abstract, inanimate ideas or things. It allows the 'thing' to be like a living human being, having qualities that are similar to that of normal living humans.

Act II scene i of the play "Julius Caesar" by William Shakespeare shows the character of Brutus in a dilemma about his questions on Caesar. He was contemplating the need between Caesar's death and his involvement, stuck between his loyalty to his friend and master Caesar and his loyalty to the nation. By the use of the words <em>"Where wilt thou find a cavern dark enough / To mask thy monstrous visage",</em> the writer is personifying "conspiracy", giving it a humanistic quality.

Personification is the form of figurative language used in the bold lines of the above example. Option A is correct.

As a rethorical figure, personification refers to the attribution of human nature or character to inanimate objects, animals or abstract notions.

In other words, personification means giving human qualities to non-living objects such as emotions, desires, sensations, gestures and speech, often by way of a metaphor.

To Kill a Mockingbird (Chapter 19) - What examples does this chapter provide of characters practicing empathy? Which characters
Reptile [31]

Answer:

What examples does chapter 19 provide of characters practicing empathy

In this chapter Jem, Scout and Dill are the characters that practice empathy. When the trial of Tom Robinson was about to start, Jem, Scout and Dill snuck into the courtroom. They were not supposed to be there.

Which characters are able to ""climb into the skin"" of others and ""walk around in it""?

Boo Radley, Atticus Finch and Tom Robinson are all victims of prejudice, and all three characters are plagued by this.

How do they respond to others as a result?

It affects them all differently; crippling them and disabling them from acting as they wish

What are the consequences

These characters suffered due to the prejudice that they face. For instance, the first character Boo, is excluded and always kept away from society by his father who locks him up. It is obvious that Boo suffers from lack of socialization and in addition to his cruel father, he grows up to be an antisocial individual who is lonely. Atticus on the other hand has to confront a mob that is ready to kill Tom and he puts his life in danger. He also suffers the lack of approval by his fellow white folks. Furthermore, his looks have made the town to brand him as evil. This social discrimination makes him a victim because when he is claimed to be the one causing evil, the children, as well as adults, dislike him. He thus suffers emotionally.
