3 0

Erasmus' Praise of Folly is a satire which uses a narrator and main character named Folly who is the personification of the author's contemporary world of the Medieval Ages. Folly has a deep-rooted ignorance and stubbornness which is evident for all to see. Folly is pretentious and foolish which aims to encourage and support humankind's numerous faults and shortcomings. More's Utopia pictures out a more direct solution to the times with how he depicts the manners and ways of the people from a place called Utopia. Hythlodaeus -- More's parallel to Erasmus' Folly -- has a name that literally translates to "dispenser of nonsense" is the narrator of the book.

This is a SIMILE - if words such as 'as' or 'like' are used in order to compare two things (in this case, 'giant rocks with razor edges crouch LIKE a sea monster with wide open jaws'), then it is a simile.

Try to write neatly. Also, write atleast 3-6 paragraphs and use strong words and information that comes from reliable sources. List all sources used and write in your own words. Also, use facts that are true.
