The tempest in lines 16-17 what is personified in these lines

English
1 answer:
Kamila [148]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The storm is being personified in lines 16-17 of The Tempest.

Explanation:

Personification means giving human traits to an inanimate object. Personification is a literary device used by many authors to add depth and interest to their writing.

In lines 16-17 of The Tempest: "You are a councilor.

If you can command these elements to silence and work the peace of the present,

we will not hand a rope more"

The elements in question refer to the storm, which was given a human trait with the sentence 'if you can command these elements to silence...'.

You can command or silence a person, but you can't do that to a storm.

So, the statement personified the storm (elements) with the human trait of being commanded and silence.

A Mom Sues Nutella Maker For Deceptive Advertising

By Whitney Blair Wyckoff

Which statement is not Whitney Blair Wycoff's point of view about suing

Nutella in her article?

O A) Nutella is not a nutritional substitute.

B) We want to hold foodmakers accountable.

C) How could something that tastes so good be healthy?

O D) How could a mom mistake Nutella for health food?

Answer:

C) How could something that tastes so good be healthy?

Explanation:

Wyckoff´s remark about how something that tastes so good could be healthy is only a rhetorical question aimed to emphasize how ridiculous it was for her to believe that Nutella was a healthy snack, not her point of view on the topic.

She does claim that Nutella is not a nutritional substitute, and she does mention the objective of holding food makers accountable which can be understood as a kind of support for that idea. And she also questions  Athena Hohenberg for mistaking Nutella for healthy food.

Read the excerpt from the poem "Queen of the Cats":
Maslowich

Answer:

b) Metaphor

Explanation:

Using one object to symbolize another is known as a metaphor. One of my favorite lines from the poem "Queen of the Cats" describes how the cat's eyes would literally "spark with firelight fantasies" as she gazed into the flames.

Because the cat's imagination is represented by the firelight, this is a metaphor. Poets may employ metaphors to help their readers envision their work in a new manner. Firelight serves as a metaphor in this poem for the cat's eyes, which seem bright and full of imagination.
