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

English
1 answer:
Degger [83]3 years ago
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.

Match the excerpt from the text to the literary device it exemplifies.
mart [117]

The statements, along with the literary device used in each, are below:

“The Army Alpha is cleverly designed"

-- This is an example of understatement. By describing the Army Alpha as cleverly designed, the speaker is downplaying the scope of the test. We are told the told the test will show the Army everything about you. Therefore, it is an understatement to say it is "cleverly designed."


“I guess that the letter was the last straw”

-- This is an example of an idiom. An idiom is a figure of speech whose meaning seems unrelated to the words used. The phrase "the last straw" has nothing to do with straws: it is a figure of speech used to explain when someone has run out of patience, etc. Therefore this is an example of an idiom.


“I took the opportunity to vomit out a Niagara of vitriol”

-- This is an example of hyperbole. Hyperbole is extreme exaggeration. Since it is impossible to vomit a literal waterfall of anything, this statement is hyperbole.


“Army Intelligence called me up in about a week, wanting to chat”

-- This is an example of irony. Army Intelligence is not calling for a chat. The speaker is being sarcastic, or ironic. Army Intelligence is going to interrogate the speaker in the presence of his lawyer. A "chat" this is not.
