2. Interpret Reread lines 28-32. What is the effect of the author’s use of the phrase “in pursuit of four-footed game”?

1 answer:

7 0

The effect of this phrase is that the hunters were trying to hunt down the runaway slaves as if they were animals - four-footed prey that had to be hunted down with guns and dogs. The phrase shows the degrading position the fugitives were in, as well as their masters' cynical, inhumane hatred. The author further explains that the hunters, when they didn't hunt, were in their homes, spending time with their wives and children and saying their prayers. This hypocrisy is especially striking.

The road to the mountains was a ribbon of moonlight.

Answer: B) Metaphor

Explanation: A metaphor can be simply defined as a figure of speech that compares actions or words that are not literally related but might share similar characteristics. It gives a hidden meaning or representation.

"The road to the mountains was a ribbon of moonlight",

The "road" and the "ribbons of moonlight" are literally unrelated because roads are neither ribbons nor ribbons of moonlight.

"Ribbons of moonlight" is only meant to give a hidden meaning or representation of the characteristic or nature of the road to the mountains.

So "Ribbons of moonlight" is a metaphor.

How did Disneyland impact America’s love of roller coasters?

marin [14]

Disneyland, founded in 1955, gave Americans a more thrilling and enjoyable ride. One of the country’s first theme parks, the theme park and its all-American cartoon style was incredibly popular with children and adults alike. While ferris wheels and boat rides were more common at the time, rollercoasters were considered dangerously exciting, thus appealing to the younger demographic.
