Answer:
2. The image emphasizes that Mr. Shiftlet lives in an uncaring world.
Explanation:
Flannery O'Connor's short story "The Life You Save May Be Your Own" is part of the numerous short stories collection "A Good Man is Hard to Find". The story revolves around the character of Tom Shiflet and his acts in trying to survive the world, cheating Lucynell and her mother.
Similes are literary devices that compares words with another directly, a bit different from a metaphor (Metaphors compare things indirectly related). This simile in the sentence compares the words spoken by the old woman Lucynell to that of "<em>a group of buzzards in the top of a tree</em>". The "<em>ugly words</em>" of Mrs. Lucynell was that Shiflet was "<em>a poor disabled friendless drifting man</em>", but she also considers him capable enough to be her daughter's husband. This way of addressing him by the woman who expects him to marry her daughter shows that the world or society he lives in doesn't have much care about others, everyone for themselves.
Answer:
When the sun is bright on the upland slopes.
Explanation:
In the poem "Sympathy", the line that describes what the bird wants to do is "When the sun is bright on the upland slopes". This line helps the readers to understand how the caged bird longs to be free so that it can fly in the sky freely during a bright sunny day.
It presents a picture of freedom and openness with words like 'upland slopes' and 'bright sun' which are contrary to the bars and the perch of the cage that confines the bird in it.
