Hi!


The central idea of the metaphor was that the people in the lifeboat are the rich nations, whereas those that are drowning are the poor nations.

This metaphor is known as lifeboat ethics, and is used to illustrate the distribution of resources.

The metaphor depicts a lifeboat which is boarded by 50 people (the wealthy nations), and 100 people swimming in the surrounding water at risk of drowning. The 'ethical issue' is stirred by the fact that there is room for 10 more people on this lifeboat, and if the surrounding people should be taken aboard -and if so, what would be the conditions of such an act.


Hope this helps!

The raven continuously repeating the word "nevermore" is an example of what figurative language?
Genrish500 [490]
This is a personification. An idiom would be something like a proverb while hyperbole would be exaggeration. A metaphor is when there's a meaning that's implied. Personification is when you give objects that don't behave like people, human traits. The raven in reality probably doesn't say anything, just croaks or whatever, but in the poem he keeps saying it because it's a poem.
