Explain how darry and ponyboy play tug of war with soda in the outsiders

English
1 answer:
Helga [31]2 years ago
3 0
<span>Soda is the middle child, and as the most amiable of the three, he often gets caught in-between Ponyboy and Darry when they clash.  Ponyboy and Darry often argue, and when they do, they both want Soda to be on their side, forgetting that he has his own problems too.  In Chapter 12, this is clearly illustrated when Darry confronts Ponyboy about his behavior since the deaths of their friends. Ponyboy retorts, "You'd like that, wouldn't you"  You'd like me just to get out.  Well, it's not that easy, is it, Soda?"  Soda responds by crying "Don't", and runs out of the house, shocking Darry and Ponyboy, who, in being so wrapped up in his own battles, have never considered that he had troubles of his own and needs their support sometimes too.  Soda tells them, "I can't stand to hear y'all fight.  Sometimes...it's like I'm the middleman in a tug o' war and I'm being split in half".</span>

Figurative language of the Red Riding Hood story
Kaylis [27]
Metaphor
You walk gravely along as if you were going to school, while everything else out here in the wood is merry." (Says The Wolf)
Personification
"What a tender young creature. What a nice plump mouthful."
This is a Simile, because it compares two things using like or as.
These are Metaphors,because they compares two nouns without using like or as.
" "Good-day, Little Red Riding Hood," said he (The Wolf)
So he walked for a short time by the side of Little Red Riding Hood.
These are examples of personification because the wolf is behaving as a human would. Simile
"Oh, but, grandmother, what a terrible big mouth you have."( Said little red riding hood)
