Answer:
The literary technique used in all three examples is <u>metaphor</u>.
Explanation:
<u>A metaphor is a figure of speech that makes an indirect comparison. </u>Unlike a simile -- a direct comparison --, which uses the support words "as" or "like", a metaphor does not use any support words. It simply states that thing A is thing B, instead of thing A is like thing B. For example:
- Your eyes are like stars. -- simile
- Your eyes are stars. -- metaphor
The purpose of a metaphor is to attribute the characteristics of one thing to another by comparing them, even if in reality they are not similar at all. When I say someone's eyes are stars, I don't mean it literally, of course. I refer to their beautiful brightness.
<u>That is precisely what Douglass does in all three examples in the question. Slavery does not literally have bitter dregs. It is not a dark night. The vessels were not ghosts. Douglass is making these indirect comparisons to attribute characteristics of one thing to the other. On dark nights, we can feel scared, lost, hopeless. By saying slavery is a dark night, Douglass may mean slavery made him feel that way.</u>
Answer:
pampered but ignorant( I think!)
Explanation:
Dan George was born in a tribal family where he got the name Geswanouth Slahoot. He had to change his name to George when he entered a missionary boarding school at the age of five. Also, the use of his native language was prohibited there. Apart from being a notable actor, he was a poet too. While giving a speech, he recited his own poem among his people. He emphasized the impact of colonialism and its effect on the society and in politics. He was also an environmentalist, spiritual healer who promoted traditional values and a spokesperson for the natives. He inspired many Indigenous leaders to come out of the shadows of past and move forward for a better future. He even pointed out the low number of native children getting government aids for their education and development. He helped in creating awareness among his people to know about their rights and fight for it. It was only because of his education and career that he realized the rights of the natives which would help in improving the condition of his people.
The best answer would be D because the family has strong emotions of fear toward the terrible winds.
I hope this helps!
