Answer:

The correct answer ir: hyperbole.

Explanation:

The type of figurative language used in this excerpt is hyperbole. A hyperbole is a statement that is exagerated or not to be taken literally.

When the speaker says that the "world is nothing" he is refering to the meaningless of life, rather than the lack of materiality of the earth itself.

At the same time, when he expresses "only I exist" he is trying to convey how lonely and overwhelmed he feels in this chaotic and erratic world, and that everything else, to him, seem to be unimportant, merely forces that push him foward or backwards.

One of the four freedoms that Roosevelt identifies in his Four Freedoms speech is Freedom of religion.

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

On January 6, 1941, The United State's President Franklin Delano Roosevelt presented his four freedom of speech that all people should have. These four freedoms are:

  1. Freedom of speech and expression
  2. Freedom of religion means all people have the freedom to worship God in his own way, everywhere in the world
  3. Freedom from want means that you can afford the basic necessities.
  4. Freedom from fear means no one should be in fear of their government, its armed forces or even their neighbors.

This speech was delivered one year before Japan attacked the Pearl Harbor that made America involved in World War II. This freedom of speech symbolized America's war aims and gave hope to people in the war because they knew they were fighting for freedom. At the end of World War II, the Four Freedoms formed the basis for the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

CAN ANYONE DO AN SHORT CHRISTMAS CAROL ESSAY FOR ME??​
LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

A Christmas Carol was written by Charles Dickens in 1843.

Explanation:

A Christmas Carol was set in mid 19th century, during this time people had a really bad time; most of the people was unemployed and the people who were employed were paid deficiently, others were seasonal or casual, which meant they were when work was available so most of the families lived in poverty which means that they didn’t have access to nice food and clothes and children were also used for the family income so the children had to work in work houses. In contrast the rich people had access to doctors, plenty of food and didn’t have to work, had nice clothes to wear and had a nice life.

A Christmas Carol is divided into five staves.

The first stave is a prologue where Dickens introduces the reader to scrooge and his characteristics.

In the second stave Dickens writes about the ghost of the past who takes scrooge to the past and shows him what happened in his important parts of his life.

In the third stave Dickens writes about the ghost of the present where the ghost of present shows scrooge what was happening at the present.

In the fourth stave scrooge is met by the ghost of the future and he is shown what is going to happen in the future to him and people around him.

The final stave is an epilogue, where dickens ends the novel by showing the reader how Scrooge changes his characteristics and revolutionizes
