From the novel A Tale of Two Cities

English

Answer:

A Tale of Two Cities

Identification of the Literary Devices:

1. Simile: "...like birds of prey..."

2. Simile: "...as shriveled and poor as ..."

Explanation:

A simile is one of the literary devices used by good writers and speech makers to compare two different things in order to spark an interesting connection in a reader's or listener's mind.   Some express a sense of confusion between similes and metaphors.

The difference is that a simile uses the words "like" or "as" to draw a comparison and a metaphor simply states the comparison without using "like" or "as".   Look at these two sentences.  Goldlyn is as innocent and immaculate as an angel.  Goldlyn is the angel in our class.

While a simile makes a direct comparison, a metaphor makes an implied comparison.  The first sentence (simile) compares Goldlyn to an angel in innocence and immaculateness.  The second sentence (metaphor) implies that Goldyn is the angel without comparison.

Which three excerpts would best be characterized as expository texts?
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

Expository text gets to the point rather quickly. It is intended as education rather than just narrative text. An example of narrative text is the Excerpt by Charles Dickens which is meant to draw a picture of what this woman was like.

So the last one is out.

The first one talks about volcanoes and how they are classified. That's one of your answers if you are trying for brevety and education.

I think the second one would also be a choice. It is trying to show you the nature of anxiety and what causes it. You learn a lot about symptoms from reading it. It's quick and to the point. Expository? Yes.

I don't think four is exactly expository, but I might be wrong. It sounds too argumentative to be completely expository. It wouldn't be my first choice even though I have read Twain a great deal, beginning in my teens. He always has something pointedly funny to say about the human condition. So it's hard for me not to include him in anything. It's not exactly narrative either. The tough ones are three and four.

Three tries to tell you what it would be like to live in another country. I think it likely is the choice you are looking for.

Answers 1,23. I could be wrong, so if you have a different answer in mind, go with it.

State your position on whether or not your self worth is directly linked to what you own. Please help
elena55 [62]

Answer: Self-worth is something determined by someone's own mental health and restraint. Sometimes owning something does not define how you veiw yourself. For example if you owned a broken stuffed animal as a childhood toy, it wouldn't reflect your occupation as a billionare. It depends from people to people. Some want to by the things they deem worthy of themselves while others don't care. So no, your position is not concretely linked to what you own.

Explanation: Just my little answer. Everyone has their own. Have a nice day :)

What logical fallacy occurs when a speaker assumes that an action was caused by whatever came before it?
tatiyna

The logical fallacy which occurs in this case is a fallacy called Causal Fallacy, which in short words is when you explain something with the not necessarily true cause. this is calledin latin <em>non causa pro causa</em> which means,this is not cause for this cause. For example, people see a sports car crashed on the street. Immediately they blame the sports car driver for driving too fast. This is a false cause, because despite a sports car can be fast, that was not necessarily the cause of the accident.
