Answer:

a) apostrophe and b) personification

Explanation:

The two figures of speech that are used in this excerpt from Shakespeare's "The Tragedy of Macbeth" are <em>apostrophe and personification</em>. An apostrophe is a figure of speech in which the writer addresses someone who is not present or an inanimate object. Here, the poet is addressing the night and asking it to "cover the tender eyes of day." He is using personification to refer to the eyes of the day and calling them tender. Personification is when a thing is given human attributes.

AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

Elya looks for Zeroni ⇒ Elya court’s Myra ⇒ Elya forgets his promise ⇒ Stanley is bullied ⇒ Stanley finds sneakers ⇒ Stanley is arrested ⇒ Stanley gets to camp ⇒ Stanley digs a hole.

Explanation:

In this excerpt from Holes, we learn how Stanley Yelnats' great-great-grandfather, Elya Yelnats was helped by Madame Zeroni to win the heart of Myra. First he looks from Madame Zeroni and she gives him a pig that he was to give water to from a certain stream every day and it would grow.

The pig grows and so Elya courted Myra. He found her dimwitted however and goes to America forgetting to fulfil a promise to carry Madame Zerone up the mountain to sing for her leading her to place a curse on him and his descendants.

Except then comes back to the present where Stanley is bullied at school leading him to miss the school  bus and as he walks home, sneakers hit him on the head which he then took as he wanted to give to his father to help in his experiments but as he runs he is arrested for sneaker theft and sent to Camp Green Lake where he digs a hole.
