Examples of rhetorical devices in carry your own skis

English
1 answer:
salantis [7]3 years ago

Some rhetorical devices that are used in "Carry Your Own Skis" are repetition and allusion. 

Repetition is used when the author describes her attitude toward life using the phrase "To the lodge and back, baby". This is done in paragraph 8, and in the final paragraph. 

The entire lead-in story about the author's family's experiences with skiing is an allusion used to set the article's later theme of being responsible for oneself and persevering.

Who or what do you think is more threatening and dangerous: the island and its dangers or the boys themselves? Why? LORD OF THE
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Landing on the Island

For the boys of Lord of the Flies, the island represents both their temporary home as well as their prison. There is no escape, unless they can signal to a passing boat or plane using a fire. From what they can tell, it 'was roughly boat-shaped: humped near this end with behind them the jumbled descent to the shore. On either side rocks, cliffs, treetops and a steep slope: forward there, the length of the boat, a tamer descent, tree-clad, with hints of pink: and then the jungly flat of the island, dense green, but drawn at the end to a pink tail.' The primary parts of the island are the the mountain on one end of the island; Castle Rock, a pink stone formation on the other end; the beach where the boys washed up after the plane crash; the jungle in the middle of the island; and the lagoon, 'a long, deep pool in the beach with a high ledge of pink granite at the further end.' In this apparent paradise, the boys initially think of themselves as kings unfettered by the demands of grownups. While the island appears to be a place of freedom, it actually traps the boys, physically and mentally.

Which word in the following sentence is a direct object? Scott and maria a play soccer with an old ball they found behind the sh
Anestetic [448]

The direct object is "soccer". It is possible to identify the direct object because it tends to inmediately follow the main verb, which is 'play' in this case. Also, a more effective means of identification is by replacing the word with the pronoun 'something'. Thus, if I paraphrase this sentence it will be: Scott and Maria aplay something. Always remember that a direct object is a syntactic element in a sentence, so it usualñy consists of more than one word, in this case the complete direct object would be: soccer with an old ball they found behind the shell.
