Answer:

Two examples of figurative language used by Douglass on his speech are Allusion and Synecdoche.

Explanation:

When he says: <em>"What I ask for the Negro is not benevolence, not pity, not sympathy, but simply justice." , </em>he expresses it as if it was a desire of his own, when in reality the effect he wants to achieve is that people realize that it is not a desire of him, but a <em>right</em> of all black men. There is when he is using Allusion.

When he says: <em>“What shall we do with the Negro?” I have had but one answer from the beginning. Do nothing with us!..."</em>, he is appealing to the racism feeling of the word "<em>Negro</em>", instead of using the term "black man", to make a bigger impact on the listeners. This is where Synecdoche is used.

Finally he manages to have power in his speech, receiving an applause after his words.

What is the purpose of this story?
belka [17]

This is for “the tell-tales heart”

Answer: I have briefly read the book but here is my answer:

Explanation:I think that it is because the old mans heart beats were the reason of the narrators breakdown. They were pressuring the narrator to tell the truth. It was almost as if the old man was still alive persuading the narrator to tell the truth, but the old man didn’t need to do that. He only needed the narrators anxiety issues to do that. Between the eye, the anxiety, the heart beat, even the police, the narrator felt trapped in his own web that has been weaved every time be even looked at the old man. This story is about anxiety, remorse, sadness, guilt. The old man didn’t need to tell on the narrator. The narrator did that himself. In conclusion, it’s called “the tell-tales heart” because it was the heart that told on the narrator to the police, at least not directly. When we think of tell-tale, we think of someone who tells on people and exposes them, that is exactly what the heart did, but he did it in a way that would guilt and posses the narrator to do it himself. The purpose of the story is that no matter how much you try to run away, it will always catch up to you, whether it’s guilt, your past, your enemies. At one point you have to face it, before it’s too late.

Hope this helps!
