A) "To him, <u>your celebration is a sham</u>; <u>your boasted liberty, an unholy license</u>; <u>your national greatness, swelling vanity</u>." This sentence is an instance of parallellism. The same pattern is repeated- look at the underlined words-. Subject + to be + complement. However, this pattern is used in "your celebration is a sham". In the other two structures the verb to be has been omitted and a comma has been used,instead. " your boasted liberty, (is) an unholy license; your national greatness, (is) swelling vanity." The verb to be can be taken out since it can be easily retrieved from the context. If it is ellided, it should be replaced by a comma.

The storm crept in upon us like a thief in the night, its bloated clouds bulging and billowing to create a fortress that walled
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

Alliteration: bloated clouds bulging and billowing

Personification: The storm crept in upon us; the feeble sun limped away and died; the howling of the wind

Imagery: its bloated clouds bulging and billowing to create a fortress that walled off the sky.Behind these towering, stratospheric ramparts; the official soundtrack of the apocalypse

Explanation:

Alliteration is a device in which consonant sounds are repeated at the beginning of words that are close in proximity in the structure. In the passage we are analyzing here, the /b/ sound is repeated in "bloated clouds bulging and billowing."

Personification is a literary device in which human qualities are attributed to inanimate objects. In the passage we are analyzing here, the author says the clouds crept upon them, the sun limped and died, and the wind howled. Those actions can only be performed by humans or animals, but not by inanimate objects. The purpose is to emphasize feelings and ideas.

Imagery consists of appealing to the five senses when writing, with the purpose of describing something vividly. To be fair, the whole passage consists of imagery. The description of the clouds, the sun, and the wind appeals to sight and hearing.

3. Why do you think Hale's words about seeking a cause for all that's happened "reach" John
kupik [55]

Answer:

Hale's stance on seeking an explanation for what is happening, reaches John because he is being tried without any concrete evidence, with nothing to explain the trial.

Explanation:

John Proctor was accused of witchcraft completely unfairly, yet he went to trial, with no evidence to back up the charges and even with the knowledge that Abigail accused him of revenge. This experience is reached by the words of Hale, who says, that it is necessary to look for an explanation for what is happening in the city, instead of causing the collapse that is happening.
