This is a delightful and witty short story with that very Russian sense of the surreal combined with satire, that one sees in Bulgakov's writings (Bulgakov was an admirer of Gogol's work). I could go into all sorts of linguistic and psychological analysis of the symbolism of a man losing his nose, or I probably could if I knew Russian. But I suspect that rather misses the point. As the story says: Nonsense really does occur in this world, and, sometimes, nonsense altogether without an element of plausibility. I do not know what you can compare it with. Have you got any options? I think that you can get help with it if you check i tat the professional site. Prime Writings is the site with interesting blog on essay writing.
My talent is the ability to help others. I help others in any way that I can. When I am able to do this I feel fulfilled, it gives me a sense of importance.
Nimbused basically means surrounded. "They were nimbused <span>by the last light of a sun that had set"
So a synonym could be engulfed or surrounded.
Hope that helps!</span>
Hyperbole because it is very exaggerated and not to be taken literally.
