What are examples of figurative language in The Giver with page numbers?

1 answer:

7 0

Answer:In The Giver, the used of what they referred to as "precise language" is strictly enforced at all times. So, needless to say, the first use of figurative language does not happen until much later, after Jonas meets the Giver. I'm sure that you may have noticed that I referenced the first instance of figurative language on the Theme and Structure page. The first instance of figurative language in The Giver, is used by the titular character of the book. It is used when the Giver tries to explain how them memories burden him by using the example of going downhill on a sled in deep snow. Although, the example is lost on Jonas as he has no idea what any of those things are. Another use of figurative language in The Giver is from page 125-126, when Jonas recalls the memory that the Giver had shared with him that day. He describes the place very vividly., and the figurative language is very slight, as there is not much in this nook, but it does convey to you the imagery presents in the chapter in an easier manner.

Which type of snake uses both serpentine and concertina forms of movement?

Aneli [31]

It is one of at least five forms of locomotion used by snakes, the others being lateral undulation, sidewinding, concertina movement, and slide-pushing. Unlike all other modes of snake locomotion, which include the snake bending its body, the snake flexes its body only when turning in rectilinear locomotion.
