Well, you're going to talk about the conflicts in The Lottery and The Lady or the Tiger... So... in The Lottery, the main conflict was that the lady (whatever her name was) was chosen to be stoned in the lottery. It wasn't really resolved in anyway, except that she got.. stoned. I haven't read The Lady or the Tiger, but you would do the same thing for that. Then you would state the theme, or moral, or main point, of each story. And then you would compare how the resolutions for both conflicts demonstrate the stories' themes.. Does it make a bit more sense?
A. an original research report. Hope this helped u hunn =^.^=
This is just my guess, but maybe it's because the dictators use their words to climb up and become one?
For example, Adolf Hitler was in the congress for a long time before he became a dictator. He talked and gave lots of speeches that the Germans (At the time) thought were good, so they slowly trusted him and unfortunately let him become dictator.
I wouldn't use this as an answer to a quiz or test, though.
I believe the correct answer is: "Of stagnant waters: altar, sword, and pen,
"
Metonymy is the type of metaphor, figure of speech, which is uses the substitution of the name of an attribute or adjunct for that of the thing meant. In the poem “London” written by William Wordsworth in 1802, the line which uses metonymy to refer to art and literature is the third line: “Of stagnant waters: altar, sword, and pen,” as the pen represents the whole literature in England after Milton’s death.
