What type of figurative language is the use of the word Selma here?
rosijanka [135]

What type of figurative language is the use of the word Selma here?

Answer: It is <u>an allusion</u>.

Explanation:

As a figure of speech, an allusion is a brief reference to an event, person, place or idea. This reference does not include a detailed description. In the first stanza of “Monet’s Waterlilies”

, Robert Hayden makes a quick allusion to the civil rights march from Selma, Alabama, which took place in 1965:

<em>"Today as the news from Selma and Saigon</em>

<em>poisons the air like fallout"</em>

How does this example of figurative language affect the last line of the stanza?

Answer: It sets up contrast.

Explanation:

In the last line of the stanza, the author mentions<em> "the serene, great picture" </em>that he loves. This is in direct contrast with the first line of the stanza, where he describes a disturbing event in which people who protested in peace were attacked by police. This picture looks like anything but serene - the word serene means untroubled and peaceful, and serves as a direct contrast to the scene from the first line.

In the end of the short story "The Old Chief Mshlanga", the girl's father decides to keep the twenty goats that trampled down his land.

Aleksandr [31]
Answer:
i think it's true, because of the fact that reading aloud depends on your voice and whether or not your voice can keep up with your reading speed, it also depends on if somebody else is reading with you, because you'd need to make your voice compatible with theirs
