I suck at figurative language i need help
Aleksandr-060686 [28]
Simile. A simile is a figure of speech that compares two separate concepts through the use of a clear connecting word such as “like” or “as.” Examples of simile are phrases such as “He was wily as a fox,” or “I slept like a log.”

Metaphor. A metaphor is like a simile, but without connecting words. It simply posits that two separate things are the same. For example, “He was a wily fox,” or “She cried a river of tears.”

Personification. Personification projects human qualities onto inanimate objects, or perhaps animals or natural elements. “The wind howled,” “The words leapt off the page,” and “Time marches on” are all examples of personification.

Hyperbole. Hyperbole is extravagant, intentional exaggeration. “I have a million things to do today” is a common example of hyperbole.

Allusion. Allusion is when a text references another external text—or maybe a person, place or event. It can be either explicit or implicit. “We’ve entered a Garden of Eden” is an allusion to the biblical place, for instance.

Idiom. Idioms are non-literal turns of phrase so common that most people who speak the same language know them. English examples include, “He stole her thunder” and “We’ll cross that bridge when we come to it.”

A pun is a play on words. It exploits the different meanings of a word or its homonyms, usually to humorous effect. A well-worn example of a pun is: “Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana.”

Onomatopoeia. In onomatopoeia, words sound like the thing they describe. Sound effects like “tick-tock” and “ding-dong” are everyday examples, as well as words like “zap” and “hiccup

Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

The author by providing an informative about the stream of conscious and unconscious construction states that friends are an important sense of validation.

Explanation:

'With friends like these..' is an informative literary text where the author describes how friends are an essential part when it comes to enjoyment of life. In lines 9 to 27 ie from the third paragraph the author explains the construction of our brain in a conscious and unconscious way. The author says we as a human being often guess about the situations when we cannot see the reality directly. And when our ideas takes the shape of reality, that's when we feel that our ideas are validate, we feel secure and happy, but when those same ideas are proved wrong, we feel unsettled and distressed.

The author then connects this information with the idea that friendships are essential to our sense of who we are. They are an important sense of validation. When a friend validates our idea that something is as we see it, when we feel reassured, relaxed, and safer.
