English

Answer:

It is indeed hyperbole and not personification. <u>this is because the poet is asking Time to take away all his woes and laying the weight of wings of kindness on it.</u>

Explanation:

<u>Hyperbole is when a simple act is laden with something blown out of proportion</u>. here, the simple passage of time is said by the poet to be responsible for taking away his problems through its kindness, when the time is passing irrespective of his woes and does nothing else but pass.

it would have been personification if the winged feet of time in the quotation given, did not speed because of kindness. <u>the human qualities are laid on time by the poet and are not presented as a foregone conclusio</u>n. hence, it is more accurate to see this as hyperbole.

A time that I often use acronyms is PEMDAS for math. PEMDAS stands for Parentheses Exponents Multiply Divide Add Subtract. This particular acronym is used for simplifying expressions with 2 or more operations. This was a very useful technique because it really stuck in the brain and helped me remember which order to simplify the expression.

Hope this helps :)

Answer:

Rene Descartes

Explanation:

Rene Descartes (31 March 1596 – 11 February 1650) was a French philosopher, scientist, and mathematician.  

Descartes determined a single first principle: I think.

In Discourse on the Method and Principles of Philosoph is explained like this : "Thought cannot be separated from me, therefore, I exist".

This is known as cogito ergo sum (in English: "I think, therefore I am").

Descartes concluded that, if he doubted, then, something or someone must be doing the doubting, therefore the fact that he doubted proved his existence.
