Answer: “Today as the news from Selma and Saigon.”

Answer: “Today as the news from Selma and Saigon.”

An allusion is a figure of speech in which the author references an object or event from a different context. The audience is meant to make the connection and understand how these two topics are related.

In this case, Hayden makes an allusion to major events in the 1960s. Selma refers to the Selma to Montgomery Marches of 1965, a series of marches within the Civil Rights Movement. On the other hand, Saigon refers to the Vietnam War, as the city played an important role during this conflict.

A kind of figurative language that draws a sharper comparison than a simile is _____.
vlabodo [156]

Answer:

Metaphor

Explanation:

A metaphor draws a sharper comparison than a simile. A metaphor is a figurative language that describes an object by comparing the object with another unrelated thing. It does not give the object its literal meaning. It is usually expressed in a phrase or clause by associating two things that are unrelated to make meaning. For example, when someone says Brian has a river valley knowledge in Mathematics.

Which excerpt from Dispatches contains imagery that evokes a sense of helplessness and inevitability? Sometimes you’d step from
OLga [1]
I would say this excerpt evokes a sense of helplessness and inevitability the most: <span>No wonder everyone became a luck freak, no wonder you could wake at four in the morning some mornings and know that tomorrow it would finally happen, you could stop worrying about it now and just lie there, sweating in the dampest chill you ever felt. The other parts describe the relatively objective circumstances. This one, with the repetition of "no wonder" evokes a sense that there is no choice and no other way. Furthermore, the imagery (e.g. "the dampest chill you ever felt") is pretty distressing.</span>
