<u>A. Personification </u>

Personification is a metaphor and a literary device that takes place when a thing, idea, abstract qualities, any aspect of nature, emotions or event is given human characteristics. This is used in the excerpt since the narrator gives human attributes to the sea: it carried him and threw him onto the shore as if the sea had the consciousness and will to perform such action as humans do.

Personification- by saying it carried and threw him, it gave the ocean human qualities.

First, I should involve myself; then, act on the old saw, "Nothing ventured, nothing gained." … The doctrine I am presenting is
oksano4ka [1.4K]
<span>that people should act

The quote "nothing ventured, nothing gained" means that if you don't take action, you don't try, then you won't gain anything. Sometimes people apply this to dating. If you don't ask the person out, then you'll never go on a date. Sometimes people apply this ideal to the lottery. If you don't play, then you'll definitely never win. The purpose of telling someone this saying is to encourage him or her to act, because without action, nothing will change.

Which nonverbal strategy can I use to emphasize key points? Gestures, volume, pace, tone
user100 [1]

You can use gestures to emphasize key points. Volume and tone both include verbal  so it isn't those, and then pace is how fast you move which usually doesn't affect key points.

Why did slavery seem like a natural solution to the colonial labor problem
kap26 [50]

In a time of severe labor shortage, it became convenient to declare the black arrivals slaves, not indentured servants as the first had been. After the American Revolution, the legal position of slaves was not debated. Generations of whites had lived in virtual slavery in Europe under the feudal system. Human bondage in many forms had been common up until then, and was generally accepted. When the U.S. Constitution was written, the phrase "all men" did not apply to slaves.While slavery might have seemed like a natural means to obtain labor when the United States were founded, it turned out to be a curse. It legally relegated an entire segment of the population to being without any rights. Laws were changed as people understood what slavery was all about.. HOPE THIS HELPS!!
