The line that states, "courage is a man with a gun in his hand." It is a metaphor because Lee is not comparing courage to a man with a gun with "like" or "as." Instead, she uses "is", as if she is enforcing the fact that courage IS a man with a gun. That kind of bluntness is only in a metaphor, as the author gives no room for debate.
He is recounting his most recent battle because Odyssey deals with Odysseus' return home after the wars and it is an introduction to his story.
Haste means:
- urgent need of quick action
- hurry
- rush
- speed
- swiftness
Hope this helped :)
Character, Setting, Event?
Physical : the fact that Tabaqui sat still shows his satisfaction with the action that he has done without having any sort of physical reaction that would suggest any sort of discomfort with what he has done.
character’s dialogue : the action that the character did, “ compliment children to their faces” is very rude and not a nice thing to do however he did the action without saying anything that would suggest he felt remorse which displays the characters mischievous intentions with wanting to cause trouble.
inner thoughts : the “rejoicing feeling” Tabaqui felt with what he did suggests that he enjoyed causing trouble to the children and had fun in doing so.
other character’s inner thoughts : the fact that Tabaqui’s parents were feeling discomfort suggests that they do not agree with his actions and tells readers that the character’s parents are not like Tabaqui and instead good people who don’t cause mischief.
