claim?
English

In the final chapter of his narrative, Douglass explains that he does not describe his escape with precision, because he does not want to give any advantage to slave owners. Giving them too many details of how did he escape would help slave owners to prevent the escape of their slaves to the North. Douglass hopes to generate in the slave owners a certain feeling of paranoia, and make it as difficult as possible for them to retain their slaves.

Figurative meaning involves which two traits? You better be right or else I am taking away your points! LOL
Maru [420]

Answer:

  I don't know if your question contained options since they were not provided, but I will still answer you. It is difficult to give only two traits to figurative meaning since there are more, but two of the most important are that it<u> is used to express one idea in terms of another, and that it usually appeals to a similarity.</u>

Explanation:

Figurative language is one by which a word expresses one idea in terms of another, appealing to a similarity that can be real or imaginary. Figurative language is opposed to literal language, which assumes that words have the meaning that defines their exact meaning.

It suggests meanings and it is the listener or reader who must find the new referent. It can also be used to add color to writing, clarity, or to convey complicated meaning.
