Patrick Henry’s “Speech to the Virginia Convention” is full of highly effective rhetorical devices, including the following:

Alternation of long sentences and short sentences, so that the short sentences receive greater emphasis. A good example of this technique involves the first three sentences of the address. The initial sentence is long; the second sentence is even longer, but the third sentence is emphatically abrupt: “This is no time for ceremony.”
Frequent use of metaphors, or implied comparisons. Thus, thinking is compared to seeing (“We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth”); experience is compared to a lamp (“I have but one lamp by which my feet are guided; and that is the lamp of experience”); and so on.
Personification, as when he compares false hopes to the song of a siren.
Allusions, as when he echoes the Bible (Mark 8:18) when he speaks
of those who, having eyes, see not, and having ears, hear not . . . .

"I have but one lamp by which my feet are guided; and that is the lamp of experience." 

 "We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth, and listen to the song of that siren till she transforms us into beasts."

Which summary correctly describes the second half of Antigone?
Igoryamba

Answer:

the answer is passage 2 Haemon tries to convince his father to think about his citizens and what they want and to realize his arrogance and folly. However, Creon

dismisses him and decrees that instead of sentencing Antigone to death, he will entomb her. Antigone puts up a brave face before being

entombed. The prophet Teiresias warns Creon of his folly, only to be rebuked. Later, when Creon goes to free Antigone, he finds out that she

has killed herself, and he witnesses Haemon stabbing himself. This news reaches Queen Eurydice, who also stabs herself in a fit of grief.

Creon returns to the palace childless and wifeless, finally realizes his hubris, and repents.

Let write a letter to yourr friend tell about afilm you saw last night
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

Dear Max,

How are you these days? I know you are very busy with your work but, please just spend five minutes reading my letter and I'm sure you won't regret.

Recently, I've seen a film called "The Click". It's about a man who was always busy with his work, like you. He was so busy that he didn't have time for his family. But he wasn't a bad man at all, he just thought that earning a lot of money would bring happiness to his home. Until one day, a strange happened to him. He found a magic remote. By clicking on it, he could make time pass more quickly. At first, it happened to be a very good thing. He could help himself not hear the dog barking or avoid the argument with his wife by clicking on the remote. Then he used the remote all the time. He used it to replace the time he spent with his his family to the time he spent on work. However, he didn't know that he could never make time go back until he looked in the mirror and realized he had become such an old man! It was too late for him to fix anything: his wife had got married to another man because her husband spent too little time on her, his daughter was then a beautiful lady, his son was about to get married and his father was dead. Sadly, the last time his father saw him, he was busy with his work, which made his father really upset. He was so shocked to reckon all of this that he had a heart attach. Finally, the last words he said to his family were: "Family's got first".

I think the man in this movie is exactly you, fust go and see it, you will know that I'm right.You've spent too much time on working, my friend. Please take a rest and go out, have fun with your family. You only live once, so live your life now before it's too late!

Wish you and your family all the best.

Love,

Kellyn

I need someone to write a children's story that involves trucks . will give brainliest
german

Answer:

Hi- not sure how long you want it to be, or how advanced the vocab, but I gave it a go!

Explanation:

Edward was 4 when his mother gave him the toy truck. He was instantly in love. With little flames painted on the side and big wheels on the bottom, the toy was exciting and fun to play with. His parents, who saw how happy Edward was with the truck, gave him hundreds more trucks to keep him smiling. They gave him every truck imagineable- big, small, manual,  even remote controlled! Eventually, Edward had a small room full of trucks that he liked to play with. Even with all the other trucks, though, Edward's favorite was still the little truck with the flames.

One day, Edward was playing outside with his little flame truck when he pushed it too hard and it started rolling down the sidewalk. Edward started to chase after it when his parents started calling for him. "Edward, you know you aren't allowed to leave the front yard!" they said. Edward tried to explain what had happened, but by the time they started looking, Edward's truck was gone. Edward was heartbroken, and vowed to stay in his bed all day tomorrow.

The next day, a big green garbage truck stopped by Edward's house. Usually, Edward loved seeing the big truck in action, but today Edwards was too sad to go look. Soon, the doorbell rang. Edward ignored this, too.

"Edward! Come here, sweetie." yelled Edward's mother. Slowly, Edward got up from his bed and walked to the front door. Standing there was his mother and one of the garbage men. "The garbage man has something to give you," explained his mother.

The garbage man crouched down to be on eye-level with Edward. "I believe I have something that belongs to you," he said as he opened his fist. There was Edward's flamed truck! Edward through himself at the garbage man and thanked him for saving his truck.

Now, whenever the garbage truck stops by Edward's house, Edward waves to the garbage man with his own truck in his hands.
