“A Whole New World” From Disney’s Aladdin

omeli [17]

Answer:

Answers with explanation given below.

Explanation:

1. An extended metaphor is basically a single metaphor that is stretched throughout the whole work. Here, the extended metaphor is that Aladdin is opening a new world to Jasmine.

It is a metaphor because he isn’t actually showing her a new world, but her life has changed dramatically and he compares that to being shown a wholly different world. This he does throughout the song, both of them talking about how the world is so different or new now. “No one to tell us, "No", Or where to go” and “With new horizons to pursue” give us a sense of different rules in this new world and a change of scene.

2. “I can open your eyes

Take you wonder by wonder

Over, sideways and under

On a magic carpet ride”

There are two parts to this. There is a tactile (touch/feel) imagery involved when he says to open your eyes, and there is the part about the motion that comes with riding on the magic carpet, which is kinesthetic (motion based).

If you haven’t learned these imagery types in school yet, you could just say these are visual (along with opening your eyes) and (seeing a magic carpet that flies through the sky).

“Soaring, tumbling, freewheeling

Through an endless diamond sky”

This gives the listeners and readers a sense of falling through the sky, which is exactly what the lyrics say. This is further established by the earlier lines talking about the magic carpet that takes you on a ride in the sky.

3. This song is not an example of a monologue. A monologue is a long speech by one actor in a play or movie, and this could’ve been one, except, Aladdin isn’t the only one who contributes to the lyrics. Jasmine puts in a few verses of her own throughout the song.

4. In the line, “I'm like a shooting star, I've come so far”, Jasmine compares herself to a shooting star using simile because she too has come so far so fast across the sky.

5. Alliteration: “Shining, shimmering, splendid”

“It's crystal clear”.

Identify two literary devices that Swift uses in his "A Modest Proposal" essay. Explain the importance of each device. Your answ

zhannawk [14.2K]

A Modest Proposal was written by Jonathan Swift in 1729, it is a satirical essay that talks about the overpopulation Ireland was facing exposed by a humorous tone, to create awareness to the problem.

Dramatic Irony:

Irony is a literary device in which the intended meaning is different from the words used, it often uses sarcasm. In dramatic irony the audience knows the mistake the character is making long before the character realizes it.

One example of irony in the essay is the ridiculous suggestion of eating babies. The readers know what bad idea it is, but the character doesn't know, creating dramatic irony.

And butchers we may be assured will not be wanting; although I rather recommend buying the children alive, and dressing them hot from the knife, as we do roasting pigs.

Anaphora:

Anaphora is the repetition of words at the beginning of successive sentences to create an impact, it is often used in political speeches and music. Jonathan Swift uses anaphora to emphasize a change of tone making a serious proposal for readers.

Of taxing our absentees at five shillings a pound. Of using neither clothes, nor household furniture, except what is of our own growth and manufacture. Of utterly rejecting the materials and instruments that promote foreign luxury. Of curing the expensiveness of pride, vanity, idleness, and gaming in our women. Of introducing a vein of parsimony, prudence and temperance. Of learning to love our country, wherein we differ even from Laplanders, and the inhabitants of Topinamboo. Of quitting our animosities and factions, nor acting any longer like the Jews, who were murdering one another at the very moment their city was taken. Of being a little cautious not to sell our country and consciences for nothing. Of teaching landlords to have at least one degree of mercy towards their tenants.
