Before answering the question, let us first explain what we understand for <u>figurative language.</u> It is the use of the language in any way that is not strictly literal. Even though it's often questioned how many "categories" of figurative language there are, it's safe to say there are at least six distinct categories. They are: metaphors, similes, personification, hyperbole, and symbolism, and irony.

In the excerpt shown, there present two of them, hyperbole and verbal Irony. The example for the hyperbole is this: <em><u>“with all the force in his body”</u></em> the reason for this is in the meaning of the sentence, it is an exaggeration, if you used literally all the force in your body, you would naturally faint or even die. The next example is for the verbal irony: <u><em>“an opportunity to reward me”</em></u> a reward was not really what the performer of the action was going to do, it was precisely the opposite, he was going to punish the man, and that is indeed the irony, the use of the opposite of any word that should be used.

The answer to this question is that the excerpt above is and example of:

hyperbole

figurative language

verbal irony

Since hyperbole and verbal irony are categories of figurative language, that, figurative language is also correct as an asnwer.

What does Johnsy’s dialogue in paragraph 48 reveal about her attitude?
Irina18 [472]

In the story, The Last Leaf, Johnsy and Sue paint pictures together. Johnsy has been diagnosed with pneumonia and their visit to the doctor proves that she will die soon.

Explanation:

This story gradually moves from a very usual, routine life of two young girls to individuals, where one who want to fight for making an other feel better and worthy to live, while another seems to fail to understand what it actually is to fight the disease/illness.

Here, when Old Behrman paints a leaf outside for Johnsy, that is when she realizes that she must fight and defeat the illness, rather letting it defeat her.

Sue and Old Behrman's idea of making Johnsy realize what it takes to be alive, takes away Behrman's life at the end as he catches pneumonia too, because of the cold weather he was standing in while painting the leaf for Johnsy.

To give in to illness in the beginning but realizing how important it is to be resilient, is what we learn from this story.
