Answer:

Hyperbole is used for emphasizing.

Explanation:

Hyperbole is a figure of speech which is used for emphasizing and expressing exaggerated statements or claims.

Two most famous hyperboles in <em>Thomas Paine's "Common Sense" </em>are:

<em>"Tis not the affair of a city, a country, a province, or a kingdom, but of a continent – of at least one eighth part of the habitable globe."</em>

<em>"Tis not the concern of a day, a year, or an age; posterity are virtually involved in the contest and will be more or less affected, even to the end of time, by the proceedings now"</em>

By using <em>hyperbole</em>, Paine in this text addresses the “cause” of American independence and pushes people into thinking about deserved freedom for the whole world, which has to be done at that same moment, both for the present time and future time.

Can you proofread this? ik it is long but i need another opinion.
Rzqust [24]

-Are the words "Transition" and "Conclusion sentence" there because you used it as a guide, you are required to have them, or you need to put one in

-There was a little bit of a lot of word and sentence repeating, I feel like a different word choice could have been used, like synonyms. Like instead of knowledge being used 500 times, awareness or apprehension, understanding, or comprehension could have been used. Just look up synonyms of words you used a bunch of times or for bland (boring) words

- There is some punctuation that could be improved

- Flow is good, with a few choppy parts

- Other than those it is really good

-Let me know if you need anything else, I am more than happy to help

Why do you think the author called the book the giver instead of the receiver
Bogdan [553]

Answer:

The term "The Giver" refers to the old man, the former Receiver, who transfers all his memories to Jonas. The very names "Giver" and "Receiver" remind us of one of the book's central themes: memory is meant to be shared. ... But, more interestingly, Jonas becomes The Giver when he gives his memories to Gabriel.
