Answer:

The children's aunt offers to tell them a story because:

A. She wants to entertain the children to keep them quiet.

Explanation:

In the short story "The Story-Teller" by Saki, an aunt is onboard a train with her two nieces and a nephew. In the same carriage is an "unsympathetic" bachelor - or at least, that is how the aunt sees him. <u>The children are restless, constantly asking questions, moving around, smacking the cushions of the seats, and even reciting poems. When the bachelor seems to be getting angry, the aunt decides to entertain the children with a story, as a way to keep them quiet and prevent the bachelor from complaining. </u>However, her story is filled with flaws. Even its attempt to teach the children a lesson about being good and well-behaved fails. The bachelor than intervenes and ends up telling them a much better story.

What type of figurative language is used in Annabel Lee by Edgar Allen Poe? (provide an example)
ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

Annabel Lee' is a poem by American Gothic writer Edgar Allan Poe. The poem was written in 1849 and was probably written about his wife, Virginia Poe, who died two years earlier. The poem tells a story of a young man (the narrator) who is in love with Annabel Lee. They live together in a kingdom by the sea, and they are very happy and in love. Their love is so wonderful that the angels are jealous of them, and they send a cold chill that kills Annabel Lee. The narrator is devastated by the loss of his love.

Figurative language uses literary devices to go beyond the actual meaning of the words and phrases. It is often used in literature and is the opposite of literal language, which tells things exactly as they are. Figurative language is used in literature because it can give new and hidden meaning to a story. While there are many different types of figurative language, in this lesson we'll look closely at uses and examples of symbolism, hyperbole, personification, and alliteration from 'Annabel Lee.'
