torisob [31]3 years ago

 The figure of speech used in the lines from sonnet 10 might be personification, in this case, of the word Death. It might be said that personification is the figure of speech in which  something nonhuman is given human characteristics. So the "Death" is firstly, personified by introducing it in capital letters, which means it is used as a name, a proper name. then it is given human characteristics, like "proud" "mighty" and "dreadful"

In lines 5-8 and 13-16 of the poem which figurative device does the poet use to create a feeling of hopelessness
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

Poet is using personification

Explanation:

<em>Frozen branches—heavy with ice arms— Couldn't perform their dance</em>

Trees and brances can't dance, but the poet is giving them human possibilities.

Personification is a way of giving human feelings to objects, plants, animals, and abstract concepts. By reviving things, phenomena, in general, something inanimate, they create images that have a strong effect on the reader.

It's actually set several hundred years earlier, in the 5th or 6th Century. And it doesn't take place in England. Instead, the action happens in the land of the Danes (what is today the nation of Denmark) and the land of the Geats (what is today the nation of Sweden).

Can someone write me like a paragraph or 2 on the war between Japan and the United states!! Thanks loves!
STatiana [176]
I'll take a stab at this:

The Imperial Japanese Navy Air Service launched a surprise attack on the United States, Pearl Harbor, on December 7th, 1941. As of up until that moment, the United States had refused to get involved in the affairs that were already going on with Japan and China any further, but the Japanese launched an attack on pearl harbor in hopes of keeping the U.S. Pacific Fleet from interfering with their military plans and actions against the United Kingdoms, the Netherlands, and the U.S.A.

The attack was a success, as all eight of the US Navy ships were damaged, and four even sunk. The attack came as a complete shock to the U.S.A., though once that ended, the president quickly decided it was time to go to war.  "<span>The Japanese also sank or damaged three </span>cruisers<span>, three </span>destroyers, an anti-aircraft training ship,[nb 5]<span> and one </span>minelayer<span>. One hundred eighty-eight U.S. aircraft were destroyed; 2,403 Americans were killed and 1,178 others were wounded."</span>
