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

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.

How is the character Gerasim portrayed in chapters 9-12 of Tolstoy’s The Death of Ivan Ilyich? Is he a realistic or unrealistic
vivado [14]

Answer: The answer on plato is:Tolstoy presents an unrealistic portrayal of the character Gerasim in chapters 9–12. The kindness and patience he shows when attending to his sick master for long hours are not entirely believable. The following excerpt from chapter 9 shows that Gerasim is completely unaffected by the daily unpleasantness of attending to Ivan Ilyich’s needs: Gerasim was sitting at the foot of the bed dozing quietly and patiently, while he himself lay with his emaciated stockinged legs resting on Gerasim's shoulders; the same shaded candle was there and the same unceasing pain. "Go away, Gerasim," he whispered. "It's all right, sir. I'll stay a while." Tolstoy shows no flaws in Gerasim’s character. Gerasim does not have the qualities that characters usually have in realist works. He is not ordinary. His approach to life and death is not conventional. He is the only character in the book who doesn’t lie about Ivan Ilyich’s condition. He accepts the fact of his master’s illness and does not feel the need to hide it. He is not afraid of death. The following excerpt from chapter 11 shows that Gerasim inspires Ivan Ilyich to reflect on his past life and to eventually acknowledge that he had based his life on superficial values: His mental sufferings were due to the fact that that night, as he looked at Gerasim's sleepy, good-natured face with its prominent cheek-bones, the question suddenly occurred to him: "What if my whole life has been wrong?

Alja [10]

<u>Answer</u>:

Based on the summary the type of conflict that Life of Pi explores is Man vs. Nature.

<u>Explanation</u>:

Yann Martel’s fantasy creation “Life of Pi” is about Piscine Molitor "Pi" Patel, a Tamil boy and the protagonist who lived in Pondicherry but while shifting countries along with his family and zoo animals met with a shipwreck. He gets into a lifeboat and is stranded in the Pacific Ocean. Soon he discovers he is not alone.

Richard Parker, the Royal Bengal Tiger is his co-rider. Thus, this fantasy adventure novel takes the readers on a ride to explore Pi’s issues of spirituality and practicality from an early age. He survives 227 days along with the tiger on a lifeboat both adjusting to each other’s company. The conflict of man vs. nature is quite clear throughout the plot of the novel.
