The following question refers to " The Grandfather"

English

4 0

Your question involves a lecture, more precisely, an excerpt from the short text titled 'The Grandfather', by Gary Soto, which reads the following:

"During its early years, I could leap over that tree, kick my bicycling legs over the top branch and scream my fool head off because I thought for sure I was flying. I ate fruit to keep my strength up, fuzzy peaches and branch-scuffed plums cooled in the refrigerator. From the kitchen chair he brought out in the evening, Grandpa would scold, “Hijo, what’s the matta with you? You gonna break it.”

Writers use a tool called 'sensory imagery', which as it states, appeals to our senses. We often think that these are poetic tools that only appeal to our vision, however, a writer could make his work come to life through any of our senses, smell, touch, taste, and so on.

As this example requires picturing a metaphor where the legs relate to the bicycle, the writer attempts to appeal to our sense of vision.

The correct answer is letter D.

Happy 2019!

“Around me everything was dancing a dance of death.”
sesenic [268]

Answer:

<em>"Around me everything was dancing a dance of death" </em>is a "personification" when it comes to<em> figurative language</em>. It means that people around Elie Wiesel were dying and nobody paid attention nor cared.

Explanation:

The situation above happened during "Night 84."

At this time, Elie was exhausted from marching in the snow that<em> he fell asleep for a long time</em> when they were finally told to rest. He was only awakened when <u>his father's frozen fingers patted on his cheeks.</u> His father wanted him to wake up because they were to march again.<em> Sleeping would mean dying in the snow. </em>Thus, Elie described the situation happening around him with the figurative language above. It is a personification because it gives human being personality to "death" that it can dance <em>("dance of death").</em>
