Answer: Oxymoron: His honour rooted in dishonour stood, and faith unfaithful kept him falsely true. Metaphor: He was a gay dog, who didn't care what he spent. Onomatopoeia: Well, after a long time I heard the clock away off in the town go boom- boom- boom-twelve licks; and all still again-stiller than ever. Hyperbole: she was a curious woman, whose eresses always looked as if they had been designed in a rage and put on in a tempest.

Explanation: oxymoron is a figure of speech in which apparently contradictory terms appear in conjunction (faith unfaithful, falsely true). A metaphor is a figure of speech that consists in making a direct comparison between elements that aren't obviously related, in order to create an image in the reader's mind (comparing a man to a dog). Onomatopoeia is the act of creating or using words that include sounds that are similar to the noises the words refer to (boom boom boom). A hyperbole is a type of figurative language that consists in exaggerating an event or a statement (always looked as if they had been designed in a rage and put on in a tempest).

Who is your hero?

lina2011 [118]

Answer:

My hero is my mom because she has been there for me when no one else would. She helped me through thick and thin. She helped me when i was upset. She gave birth to me so shes one of my closest family members.If i could live anywhere in the world it would probably be a small town that way if i ever needed something i know someone would be there for me. My biggest fear is loosing the people i love the most. Without them i don't think i would be who i am today and i might not have the things i have today. My favorite family vacation was when we went to Disney World. My brother accidentally spit milkshake out of his nose. It was really funny although it hurt his nose. One thing i would wanna change about myself is my age. I wanna be older so i don't have school and its much easier. Something that really makes me angry is when people are rude for no reason they basically just being judgy. One thing that motivates me to work hard is being able to work at my own pace. That way i know what i can get done and what i can get done in a certain period of time. In school these days its more about passing and less about learning and we really need to change that. My favorite thing about basketball is that theres not a certain time frame that you have to do do work for. Also basketball is something i love doing aswell.
