Answer:

"Shooting an Elephant" by George Orwell

The Europeans are presented as unnecessary despots, who foolishly portray themselves as lords, by imposing their rule over others, nothing realizing that they are becoming a laughing stock of the ruled. Imperialists all over history think that they are in control not knowing that they have lost their will power to the people, whom they think they dominate.  Like masked people, who have grown to resemble the masks they wear with ingrained habits and prejudices, Europeans must dance to the music that only the crowds know how best to play.

Explanation:

George Orwell's 1936 short story titled: "Shooting an Elephant" describes his experiences as a Burmese colonial police officer, torn in-between loyalty to his official duty and the dictates of his conscience.  According to George Orwell, imperialism and colonialism attract the wicked man's reward: lack of appreciation.

How does the poet's use of figurative language in lines 9–14 impact the meaning of the poem? Include one example from the text t
deff fn [24]

Answer:

Where had I heard this wind before change like this into a deeper roar?"

This quote allows the reader to hear the wind howl as it blows over the hill

Sets the sinister tone of the poem in that life around him is mutating into darkness

We associate loud wind with being scared, so Frost uses this to scare the reader; the reader is scared for the main character's future happiness and feels empathy in discouragement for the main character

Imagery

Personification

Explanation:

Figurative language, on the other hand, is the use of words to intentionally move away from their standard meaning. If I were to say, 'At the end of the play Caesar kicks the bucket,' I wouldn't mean that Caesar had actually kicked a pail. I would mean that he died, because to 'kick the bucket' is a type of figurative language that uses those words to mean something beyond the literal. Since poetry's life blood is figurative language (notice my own use of figurative language), poetry can be challenging for some readers. I'm going to show you some ways to make it easier.

When it comes to literary devices that fall into the category of figurative language, there are too many to list in this lesson. You have some common ones, like metaphor, and some rarer ones, like metonymy, but instead of examining each individual device, let's look at big categories. Some figurative language offers comparisons, some uses expressions, and other figurative language exaggerates or understates a writer's idea.
