The use of figurative language here is in the line:

They were like little flags, waving all about the class, hanging from the rods of our desks

Explanation:

The line here that shows the use of figurative language makes a comparison between the lines of words in French and their associations and they are compared to flags that are posted onto the rods of the desk of the classroom.

In this story Mr Hamel has his last class with the French kids and so the kids understand that it is the last time probably they will ever study the mother tongue.

Thus, every word of it becomes significant like a  flag that is posted upon their desk, as if to show its necessity.

How does the author use characters to make a statement about the value of human life in the world of F451? What does the author
Liula [17]

Incomplete question. However, I assumed you are referring to the story, "Fahrenheit" 451 by  Ray Bradbury.

<u>Explanation:</u>

For example, in the novel, the character Clarisse is portrayed as someone who appreciates nature, so much so that she finds time always to observe creation even though most people in her community are preoccupied with work and entertainment that they lack the time to do so.

Another character is Mildred, the wife of Montag, she is portrayed as someone who has a love for entertainment that is so strong to the extent it overshadows that of her husband. Her behavior contrast with that of Clarisse who has a healthy view of entertainment.

What the author, Montag is saying through his characters is that

  • those in his society do not value human life, recall we were told the police don't punish those who over speed, thus accidents occur often.
  • those in his society are less concerned about their families; which was made evident in the case of Mildred.
