Important point: My room mate has contributed to the mess within the apartment, but has not completed their half of the chores. I want to ask them politely to help out more.
Message: "Hey! I was doing my chores the other day and I noticed you haven't finished yours. I don't mean to bother you, but the apartment's starting to stink like trash (simile) and the dish pile up is a natural disaster waiting to happen (metaphor). Do you think you could handle that soon? Do you think you're too busy and may need more time (repetition/anaphora)? I would do it myself, but I have a lot on my plate and I'd hate to be late (rhyme) to work".
In my answer I used two examples of figurative language (metaphor and simile) and two sound devices (rhyme and repetition). I hope this helps! Please rate my answer according to how useful it was to you :)
Answer:
Compound subject
Explanation:
A verb is an action word, beginning and end aren't actions, and they are the subjects of the sentence.
a contingency break; inattentional blindness
This scene is an example of a contingency break. A contingency break is when, in a piece of media (usually children movies or TV shows) a scene occurs that is immediately retconned in the next scene. A common example of this is in children's cartoons, when a character may have gotten their clothes dirty in one scene, but they are back to normal in the next with no time for them to have been cleaned. This applies to the movie <em>Shrek</em>, as the three blind mice are turned into horses in one frame, but are back to the status quo in the next.
Inattentional blindness is the failure to notice a fully visible, but unexpected, object/action because one's attention was on another object/action. A contingency break can be considered a "real-life" example of inattentional blindness because, if this scene occurred in real-life, you would not notice the mice turning back to normal as your attention was not focused on them.
