Answer: E) Death is a dignitary who when he comes announces is to be received with formal manifestations of respect, even by those most familiar with him.

Explanation:

Personification is a type of figurative language in which human traits are given to something that is not human. Objects are given emotions, desires, speech, gestures, etc.

In <em>An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge</em>, Ambrose Bierce gives human qualities to death. In this excerpt, death performs the action of announcing, and is referred to as 'he'. Death is personified as a <em>dignitary</em> - someone who receives respect.

Answer:

Explanation:

Atticus: His biggest fear is letting Jem and Scout know about the hatred in the world because it will get rid of their innocence. His strength is that he is a man who is full of courage. He does what is right even if it is unpopular and even if he loses in the end. His only weakness is that he is keen on keeping the letter of the law and forgets that the spirit of the law is more important.

///

Scout: One could argue that her biggest fear is that she will have to grow up, she acts as defiant as she can when people try to push her towards adulthood. Her greatest strength is her honesty. She is not shy about asking questions and she speaks directly. At the beginning, Scout's greatest weakness is her lack of self control. She lets her emotions take over and stays defiant no matter what. She eventually learns how to control some of these emotions by the end of the book.

///

Jem: His biggest fear is that Atticus will never see him as an adult. Atticus is the  role model that he strives to be. His impulsive nature is his weakness. He acts on his emotions throughout the book. Once at Miss Dubose's house and again at Tom's trial. His mortality grows to be one of his biggest strengths as he can see the awful racism and discrimination in the town while Scout can not as her eyes are clouded by a rose glass.

///

Boo: His greatest fear is being seen, he has many issues that are spoken about him and many people believe them. His greatest strength is his perception. He has a wise mind and he knows exactly when to do something and when not to. his greatest weakness is his shyness. He yearns for a friend and people to connect to, but he cannot speak out no matter how much he tries. Instead he hides in the shadows and tries to use his actions to represent his emotions without owning up to them.

The theme being presented was think twice before you say anything. I think this was the theme because, the grasshopper could not be responsible of getting food, and the ants did not want to give their food. So the theme was think twice before you say anything.
