Answer:

In those days the Church <u>was not merely a thermometer</u> that recorded the ideas and principles of popular opinion; <u>it was a thermostat</u> that transformed the mores of society.

Explanation:

Type of figurative language: It is a metaphor.

Meaning of figurative language: We call a metaphor when the author uses objects to translate the real signification of other word. In this case the author is trying to translate the function of the Church into the function of a thermostat, and avoiding the function of a thermometer.

Effect on tone and mood: It is used both in poetry and in explanatory texts to better understand a feeling, function or comparison in words.

Effect on audience: It makes the public understand in a better way the force that the author really wants to communicate in his words. Also it gives a sense of beauty in the words.

I can't exactly give you the answer, as I haven't had a chance to read through the material, however I can help you come to the answer yourself.

Using the text, can you identify three ways in which the characters were "rebellious" or were told to do something, but didn't?

Or you could provide examples of how they were different from society's standards in some way.

Using a random example of being different from society's standards: Some slaveowners would treat their slaves as other human beings who were equal to them, and would educate their slaves to help them have good lives. This was not the norm, as slaves were usually treated as less-than-human and were often forbidden to become educated. If a slave was found participating in school-like activities, the owners of the slave had the right to kill them. By educating slaves and treating them well, a slaveowner wouldn't be following the typical norm.
