In Elie Wiesel's Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech, he refers to himself in the third person. Which sentence best demonstrates

this?
A. No one is as capable of gratitude as one who has emerged from the kingdom of night. We know that every moment is a moment of grace, every hour an offering; not to share them would mean to betray them.

B. For I belong to a traumatized generation, one that experienced the abandonment and solitude of our people.

C. I remember: it happened yesterday or eternities ago. A young Jewish boy discovered the kingdom of night. I remember his bewilderment, I remember his anguish. It all happened so fast.

D. Our lives no longer belong to us alone; they belong to all those who need us desperately.

<span>C. I remember: it happened yesterday or eternities ago. A young Jewish boy discovered the kingdom of night. I remember his bewilderment, I remember his anguish. It all happened so fast. 

This is the best option. It shows that Wiesel is talking about himself in the third person - the self that experienced the atrocities of the Holocaust. By doing this he is separating his current self from his younger self. He states that the memory "happened yesterday or eternities ago". This shows his closeness and detachment from what happened to him and thousands of others.

What type of figurative language is used in Annabel Lee by Edgar Allen Poe? (provide an example)
ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

Annabel Lee' is a poem by American Gothic writer Edgar Allan Poe. The poem was written in 1849 and was probably written about his wife, Virginia Poe, who died two years earlier. The poem tells a story of a young man (the narrator) who is in love with Annabel Lee. They live together in a kingdom by the sea, and they are very happy and in love. Their love is so wonderful that the angels are jealous of them, and they send a cold chill that kills Annabel Lee. The narrator is devastated by the loss of his love.

Figurative language uses literary devices to go beyond the actual meaning of the words and phrases. It is often used in literature and is the opposite of literal language, which tells things exactly as they are. Figurative language is used in literature because it can give new and hidden meaning to a story. While there are many different types of figurative language, in this lesson we'll look closely at uses and examples of symbolism, hyperbole, personification, and alliteration from 'Annabel Lee.'
