<em>Virgil is an appropriate guide for Dante at the beginning of "The Divine Comedy" because he is Dante's mentor and describes hell in the Aeneid. </em>When Dante enters Hell he is guided through the underworld by Virgil, who was a Roman Poet. Virgil wrote a heroic poem called "The Aeneid" in which talks about the descend into hell. Therefore by describing his poem and his work, Virgil works as Dante's mentor and guide through Hell and is an appropriate character to do so.
Well for one, characterisation is how a writer chooses to reveal a characters personality in a story, through things like physical appearance (shiny hair, blue eyes, nice smile, ect.) and through virtues and faults (brave, attentive, smart - egotistical, bitter, evil.)
Figurative language is basically how you'd describe said chracterisations, through things like personification, hyperbole, metaphors, similes, ect.
So with that being said, figurative language can help characterise a monster by doing more than just saying it's a monster; figurative language can make it /feel/ like a monster to the reader. Figurative language can turn the monster '3-D' (for lack of better words), by saying it has long claws, stinky breath, vicious fangs, a horrifying growl, ect.
My favourite example of figurative language is actually in the childrens book "Where the Wild Things Are" by Maurice Sendak, because it uses simple figurative language. Maurice Sendak describes the wild things as so: "They roared their terrible roars and gnashed their terrible teeth and rolled their terrible eyes and showed their terrible claws.'
Anyway, I hope this helped !! :-)

The literary device parallelism is employed to emphasize how hard it is prepare for a wartime scenario. Parallelism is used mostly to provide emphasis in many moving passages and is efficient when trying to persuade or convince one's audience.
Example:
It was dark because a new era was upon the nation. It was dark because change was coming. It was dark because the struggle had only begun.
In this example, repeating the phrase "It was dark" places emphasis on the ominous tone of the prompt and allows the reader to feel the gravity of the situation.
The correct answer is: C: first person narrator. First person narrative is the type of narrative where the story is narrated by one character at a time. This character may be speaking about him or herself or sharing events that he or she is experiencing. First person can be recognized by the use of I or we. Main characteristic of this kind of narration is that <span>we only see the point of view of one character. Some of the ways that author can use first person narration are: interior monologue, dramatic monologue and peripheral narrator...</span>
