The tortuous road which has led from Montgomery, Alabama to Oslo bears witness to this truth. This is a road over which millions

of Negroes are travelling to find a new sense of dignity. This same road has opened for all Americans a new era of progress and hope. It has led to a new Civil Rights Bill, and it will, I am convinced, be widened and lengthened into a super highway of justice as Negro and white men in increasing numbers create alliances to overcome their common problems.

Read these quotations from Douglass' autobiography."to drink the bitterest dregs of slavery"". . .the dark night of slavery clos
Anna [14]

Answer:

The literary technique used in all three examples is <u>metaphor</u>.

Explanation:

<u>A metaphor is a figure of speech that makes an indirect comparison. </u>Unlike a simile -- a direct comparison --, which uses the support words "as" or "like", a metaphor does not use any support words. It simply states that thing A is thing B, instead of thing A is like thing B. For example:

- Your eyes are like stars. -- simile

- Your eyes are stars. -- metaphor

The purpose of a metaphor is to attribute the characteristics of one thing to another by comparing them, even if in reality they are not similar at all. When I say someone's eyes are stars,  I don't mean it literally, of course. I refer to their beautiful brightness.

<u>That is precisely what Douglass does in all three examples in the question. Slavery does not literally have bitter dregs. It is not a dark night. The vessels were not ghosts. Douglass is making these indirect comparisons to attribute characteristics of one thing to the other. On dark nights, we can feel scared, lost, hopeless. By saying slavery is a dark night, Douglass may mean slavery made him feel that way.</u>

wariber [46]

Answer:

A. Our country can no longer refuse involvement because it can not allow freedom and peace to be at risk.

Explanation:

This excerpt from, "Wilson's War Message to Congress," is clearly discouraging neutrality. Neutrality is the act of not being involved or taking sides in a dispute. Wilson explained that in a world where some governments have made themselves autocratic, thus stifling peace and freedom of citizens, it would be wrong to be neutral, not making efforts to salvage the situation.

Wilson in this paragraph encouraged participation in governance so that citizens can resist actions from the government that are autocratic in nature.
