<span>Based on what you read in this lesson, what type of humorous device does Pope use in The R*pe of the Lock? He uses burlesque to poke fun at the legal discrimination against Catholics of the time with a silly event which was cutting of a lock of hair of the girlfriend of a man both of whom were Catholics and the resulting feud between their families.</span>
Answer:
Figurative language is one of the most important elements of any literary texts. It's like the spice and seasoning of a dish, it gives taste to it.
"A Tribute to a Dog" is a speech made by Senator George Graham Vest as his closing argument for his client's dog shot and killed by his neighbor. Some examples of the figurative language used in the text are the following:
- He will sleep on the cold ground, where the wintry winds blow and the snow drives fiercely, if only he may be near his master’s side. (Personification)
- The one absolutely unselfish friend that a man can have in this selfish world, the one that never deserts him and the one that never proves ungrateful or treacherous is his dog. (Personification)
- A man’s dog stands by him in prosperity and in poverty, in health and in sickness (Hyperbole)
- He guards the sleep of his pauper master as if he were a prince. (Metaphor)
- He is as constant in his love as the sun in its journey to the heavens. (Simile)
These are just a few of the figurative languages used in the text, there' still more. But these ones give more impact to the whole text. It makes it more convincing and meaningful. For sure because of this speech, his side won the case.
Katniss and Rue remain up to steal there food/supplies. Rue will set a fire to distract the careers while Katniss was to go destroy the supplies. but upon her staking out the items while the careers run to the fire source, Katniss realizes there are land mines placed around the supplies, so she shoots a bag of apples with an arrow and watches the fiery explosions from the impact of the mines.
You forgot to put the material in which we are supposed to find an allusion
