<em>Which detail from the hobbit develops the theme of blind greed?</em>

<em>The correct answer is d: the dwarves are so worried the elves will steal their treasure that they lie about their journey through Mirkwood.</em>

  • <em>It is believed in the story that Smaug cursed the dwarves’ gold. This curse causes blind greed to the dwarves, making them more suspicious about the elves. Apart from that, elves have an ancient treasure in those mines. This curse is also known as Dragon Sickness, mostly seen in Thorin when he became obsessed with his gold. In the story, “Dragon Sickness” can be taken as literal or figurative. In its literal meaning it is mentioned that Smaug illed the gold for living and staying for so long in the mines. In the figurative sense, “dragon sickness" can be taken as the fever for having so much wealth.</em>

What is relevant about the fact that the sign "quavers under a film" of water at the beginning of the story?
Archy [21]

Answer:

Bradbury´s opening uses the literary device of personification by granting a human trait (the capacity to tremble because of weakness) to a non-living thing (the sign on the wall). This sentence also works as a foreshadowing element, as it sets the mood for something going wrong.

Explanation:

Furthermore, it relates to a later metaphor about time being "a film run backward." In the end, the protagonist finds himself trembling because of his weakness, his incapacity to go through the film of time without causing trouble.

pav-90 [236]

Answer:

Hey there! The answer is metaphor.

Explanation:

Similes always use the words like or as. For example, You were AS strong AS a ox. Metaphors never use these words. Like or as were not used in this sentence, so we know that the answer is metaphor.
