As the early explorers began leaving Europe and discovering new lands they were filled with awe and excitement. These explorers had never seen such pristine landscapes, which appeared to be untouched. Nature had an important role in what was to become known as ‘The New World.’ The early explorers and settlers were greatly affected by nature both in positive and negative ways.Often as people traveled across ocean they fell ill from disease and famine, for the voyages were long and difficult. Many lost their lives as a result of the lack of food, fresh water and exposure, either during the voyage or soon after.

It burns with topaz light. Identify the figure of speech

Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

Metaphor

Explanation:

Alliteration has same starting consonants. Ex. "Shelly sold seashells down by the seashore." Notice the majority of the word start with S.

Personification is humanizing something. Ex. "Lightning danced across the sky." Humans dance and here we are comparing the movement of lightning to the movement of dancing people.

Metaphors are comparisons of two things, non living.

"She has a heart of gold", its just a figure of speech because people cannot have hearts of gold, just like the the "it" cannot actually burn with topaz light because topaz does not actually have a light.
