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.

In John Steinbeck’s “The Turtle,” how does the turtle plant the wild oat seeds?
Anna11 [10]
The wild oat seeds were stuck to the turtle's front legs, so when it was rolled off the road, the seeds fell off and onto the ground. The turtle then started moving, and while it was doing that, it covered the seeds with ground, and thus it planted them. One day, those seeds would grow into wild oats thanks to the turtle.

Summarize what Gurung's life was like BEFORE and AFTER arriving in the United States? Provide two quotes with your explanation.
Natali [406]

Answer:

Before arriving to the United States, Gurung's life was always in danger: "Many of us were tortured and imprisoned. We had no choice but to flee to Nepal to save our lives".

He was from Bhutan but he had to go to Nepali's refugee camps. After twenty years, he decided to move to the United States. In the US, he kept struggling, he couldn't find a job and he didn't speak the language: "But here in the United States, my community continues to struggle. We arrived in the U.S. when the economy was at its lowest point, so we struggle to find jobs. Many of us do not speak English, and lack of education makes it even more difficult for us to learn (...)".

However, Gurung explains that he now helps other refugees to have a successful transition between the place where they come from and the United States and he's very happy about it and about his family.

Explanation:

To complete this exercise, you have to read a text about what Til Gurung said in a Refugee Transitions talk, and then summarize what Gurung's life was like before and after arriving in the United States. In his talk, he explains a little bit about his life and how Refugee Transitions is filling a need in his community.
