This figure of speech is Simile.

The simile is a figure of explicit language of comparison, characterized by the use of connectives to emphasize the comparison that is being made.

This is exactly the case, where the narrator compares the maternal voice to a dark room using a comparative connector.

The figurative language used in the excerpt is a simile. It adds to the characterization because it compares <span>the mother as a calm/silent person.

Which is a synonym for the third definition of the word sweet?
suter [353]
Hey there!

The correct answer to your question is option A.

"Angelic" is a synonym for the third definition of the word sweet.

A synonym is a word that is similar to another word. "Sweet" can mean to be kind, and nice.

"Angelic" is similar to this. This word is also positive, while all the other options listed are negative. The other options are antonyms of "sweet." (An antonym is a word that is the opposite of another word).

Therefore, option A will be your answer.

Hope this helps you,
Have a wonderful day! :)

What impression is created by the valley of ashes and the eyes of Doctor T.J. Eckleburg?
ratelena [41]

the eyes of doctor TJ eckleburg are a pair of fading, bespectacled eyes painted on an old advertising billboard of the valley of ashes. this represents God's turn down upon and judging American society as a moral Wasteland

.The valley of ashes represents the moral and social decay that results from the uninhibited pursuit of wealth, as the rich indulge themselves with regard for nothing but their own pleasure.The valley also symbolizes the plight of the poor, like George Wilson, who live among the dirty ashes and lose their vitality as a result

CLICK HERE!!! LOTS OF POINTS :) will mark BRAINLIEST!!
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

the opening lines, with their statement that "right in the center, a few pages glow a long time," suggests that the very core of any truth will be the last to disappear, no matter what is done to it. While a story can be manipulated and censored, its core tenets will "protect each other," glowing in the embers for a long time before they are finally forgotten. Even when the fire has completely burned out, some element of most stories will remain--"you can usually find a few charred words in the ashes."  Ultimately, what Stafford's poem indicates is that the truths that are really worth knowing do not need to be written down: likewise, many lies, both written and unwritten, flourish. Meanwhile, there are libraries' worth of truths that have not only never been committed to paper, but have gone "unthought." I like to first try and determine the tone of the poet. This poem has a fairly dark tone, amplified by words like "fire," "charred," and "faking." It feels like a poem of warning, because it first gives a situation—burning books and then broadens the negative feeling to include not just burnt books but also unwritten words.  Stafford is trying to encourage his readers to gain a new perspective. He wants readers to consider unthought and unwritten ideas as a form of censorship.  To accomplish this, he first gets our attention. The poem starts with a vivid image of a burning book. There are specific details to help us visualize the burning book, and the image is meant to get our attention and elicit an emotional response.  However, in the second stanza he turns this image around and takes it in a direction we could not have predicted. He starts by making a sharp turn with "some books ought to burn," which immediately makes us stop and think for a minute
