A metaphor does not need to use like or as. A metaphor typically says one thing is another thing, but doesn’t always suggest that they are the same thing. Symbolism is similar to metaphor, but symbolism is usually implied, while metaphor is explicit. For example, “Juliet is the sun” is a metaphor, but not a symbol, while heavy rain could be a reference to Noah’s Ark and be a symbol of cleansing. In the second case, the comparison is not stated, but is implied.
Based on these definitions, B and C are definitely wrong, but neither A or D is completely right. I’d still say that D is the best answer though.
Answer: If it's The Odyssey, The Muse is unnamed. The Muse is the spirit or goddess who gives the poet his words and inspires the poet to tell the story.
Explanation:
In about line 17, "Of these adventures, Muse, daughter of Zeus, tell us in our time. . ." we find out she is a daughter of Zeus: Greek Mythology lists nine muses among them Clio, Eurterpe and Kalliope. But it is uncertain which one Homer is invoking.
Athena, a major player in the Odyssey, is also a Daughter of Zeus- sprung full-panoplied from his brow-- is not a Muse.
Um, this question is too long to answer. We cannot write an entire essay for you. Besides, when you take the essay it would be considered plagiarism because someone else wrote it. <span />
Answer:
I believe choice D to be your answer!
Explanation:
This is simply the correct usage of grammar, none of the other choices sound right if you were to read them outloud to yourself.
Good luck! :)
