Answer:

not the prompt but here you go

Explanation:

It all started with a magnifying glass. Daryl's uncle had given it to him for his birthday. It didn't seem like much of a gift at the time, but then all sorts of things happened. Read this story to find out what kind of an adventure Daryl had!

A Summer's Day

It was a nice summer day and Daryl decided to go for a walk. 'Why don't you take that magnifying glass with you,' said his uncle, 'see what kind of an adventure you can find.' Daryl didn't think there was much adventure in a magnifying glass, but he stuck it in his pocket anyway along with some peanut butter crackers.

He walked to his favorite tree and sat down in the warm sand to eat his crackers. As he ate, some crumbs fell to the ground. He took out the magnifying glass when he noticed an ant had already found his cracker crumbs. 'Hey,' he thought, 'I'll check this out.'

The Adventure Begins

Under the magnifying glass, the ant looked pretty formidable. That means it looked large and scary! As he followed the ant, he saw it fall into a small pit. The ant tried and tried to crawl out of the pit, but the sand kept giving way and he'd fall back down. Daryl was just about to give up on the ant when, all of a sudden, out of the bottom of the pit jumped an antlion and grabbed the ant! Wow, was that something to watch up-close! The antlion was even more formidable than the ant!

Antlion

As he continued to gaze through the glass, he noticed a little trail of tracks. They almost looked like tractor tracks, but he knew that wasn't possible. He decided to follow them and see where they went. The tracks led him right to a tree where he found a caterpillar happily munching on a leaf. Wow, did the caterpillar look cool under the magnifying glass! It had colors and spots and hairs and lots of funny little feet. It was rather peculiar, meaning strange and different.

A Little Danger

He continued to watch the caterpillar when he was interrupted by a buzzing sound. There hovering over the caterpillar was a wasp. Though is startled him, he was rather intrigued, or very interested, with this tiny adventure he was on. The wasp was the most formidable of all!

Carefully watching the wasp, he saw it was laying small white eggs right on top of the caterpillar, who didn't seem to notice anything going on at all! What a crazy world down here in small land! The wasp suddenly flew up and away. As he watched, he saw it get tangled in a spider web. 'This is awesome,' he thought, 'I have to climb up and take a better look at that spider.'

ANTONII [103]

Answer:

<u>1. archetype.</u>

<u>2. foreshadowing.</u>

<u>3. rhetoric</u>

<u>4. Satire</u>

<u>6. reader</u>

Explanation:

1. Archetype characters refer to characters that reoccur in other stories because of the perceived place they have in our imagination.

2. Foreshadowing employs the use of giving a pinch of info about what's going to happen later. In other words, it is like a hint.

3. Rhetoric, on the other hand, refers to the type of expression or language chosen by an author so as to create an effect on the minds of readers and listeners.

4. Satire rightly is the use of humor to point out character flaws.

6. Indeed, in a character study, the character is more important than the reader because the emphasis is placed on knowing everything about the character (like the character's likes, friends, personality, physical appearance, etc)

weeeeeb [17]

The answer is: The personification makes the setting more vivid to the reader.

Figurative language is a nonliteral, metaphorical or symbolic choice of words,  and personification occurs when something nonhuman possesses human qualities, or when an abstract attribute takes human shape.

In the passage from "Morte d'Arthur," by Alfred Lord Tennyson, personification is used to offer readers a more forceful or powerful description of the scene. For example, <em>mighty bones, the wind-sea sang shrill</em> and <em>flakes of foam.</em>
