Hi There! :)
What does the Audience learn about Odysseus from his encounters with his shipmate Elpenor and his mother anticlea?
<span>Odysseus and his crew sail to the region of the Men of Winter and, per Kirke's instructions, make a ritual sacrifice for Teiresias. While waiting for Teiresias, Odysseus cuts down the other phantoms that emerge, including Elpenor, who had fallen from Kirke's roof. Odysseus promises him a proper sailor's burial back on Kirke's island. He also sees his dead mother, Antikleia. Odysseus thought his mother was alive so he is pretty sad and begins to cry.</span>
Answer:
theterm mayday means...an international radio distress signal used by ships and aircraft.
Explanation:
Convention requires the word be repeated three times in a row during the initial emergency declaration ("Mayday mayday mayday") to prevent it being mistaken for some similar-sounding phrase under noisy conditions, and to distinguish an actual mayday call from a message about a mayday call.
Since the only figurative language we could identify in the passage is personification, we can choose "the personification emphasizes the distressed and..."
<h3>What is figurative language?</h3>
Figurative language consists of employing words in a way that gives them a different meaning, one that is not literal and that depends on the context for interpretation. Let's briefly describe the figurative languages mentioned in the question:
- Alliteration - the use of the same consonant sound in the beginning of words that are subsequent to each other.
- Metaphor - the comparison of different things without using the words "as" or "like".
- Personification - the act of giving inanimate objects human qualities or behaviors.
- Simile - the comparison of different things that makes use of "as" or "like".
The only one among those figurative languages that is present in the passage from "The Great Gatsby" is personification. It is found in the line below:
- "a foghorn was groaning incessantly on the Sound"
The action of groaning cannot really be made by an object. Humans groan when they make inarticulate sounds to express despair or when they are in pain. Thus, the narrator is using personification, giving the foghorn the human ability of groaning.
The purpose of such personification is to convey the idea that the narrator is distressed. The incessant foghorn reveals the narrator's mood, his difficulty to sleep and his sensation that something bad will happen.
