From the novel A Tale of Two Cities

English
1 answer:
Marta_Voda [28]4 years ago
5 0

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.

Compare and contrast the relationship depicted in to my dear loving husband and love song,with two goldfish
arlik [135]

Answer: In<em> "Love Song, With Two Goldfish</em>", the female fish is unhappy in her relationship with the male fish. In<em> "To My Dear and Loving Husband",</em> it seems that both the man and woman are happy. Their marriage is described as a union.

Explanation:

In<em> "Love Song, With Two Goldfish"</em>, Grace Chua tells a love story about the two fishes - a male fish that wants to get the attention of the female fish.  By describing the relationship between the fishes, the author provides a metaphor for a relationship between a man and woman. The two fishes are forced to live in a bowl, so their love lacks adventure. The female fish wants "a life beyond the bowl", which the male fish, hard though he tries, cannot give to her. The female fish is, therefore, clearly dissatisfied with their relationship.

In Anne Bradstreet's poem, "<em>To My Dear and Loving Husband"</em>, we have a different relationship. Namely, the speaker of the poem describes her love for her husband, celebrating their union and happiness. She claims that she can never repay him for the love that he gives her. It seems that these two people are very happy in their marriage and satisfied with what they have.
