Answer:

"I can't think of anything, anything but snowflakes and ice skates and yellow moon and Thursday night."

Explanation:

<u>This question is not full as it is missing the option for the answer.</u>

<u>The options are:</u>

  1. <u>"He was whistling softly and I waited until the sound faded away so I couldn't tell if it was he or my heart whistling out there in night." </u>
  2. <u>"The air was tense with sudden cold and a gust of wind swirled his footprints into the white oblivion."</u>
  3. <u>"Tonight is Tuesday and my homework's done, and I darned some stocking that didn't really need it."</u>
  4. <u>"I can't think of anything, anything but snowflakes and ice skates and yellow moon and Thursday night."</u>

<u>The correct answer is 4. "I can't think of anything, anything but snowflakes and ice skates and yellow moon and Thursday night."</u>

In this line, the narrator of Daly's novel talks about details she remembers dearly from the night she meets the man she is longing for. She remembers it was Thursday, she remembers the snow and the skating and saying she can't think of anything else but these details. W<u>ith this description of the exact details of the night, the narrator shows how much she remembers, how important the night was to her, and how much she wishes to return to it.</u>

The first two options, 1 and 2, are describing the events from the night, and the 3 is just what is happening in the present tense. But in the sentence under option 4 we can see the full strength of her longing and strong emotions.

Papessa [141]

Answer:

Simile.

Explanation:

A figurative language also known as figures of speech can be defined as a deliberate and specific construction or use of language by authors, writers or speakers to create a special effect in their speech or write-up.

The main purpose of a figurative language is to convey more information and enable the readers or listeners have a deeper understanding of the piece.

Some examples of figurative language used in a literary work are oxymoron, paradox, metaphor, apostrophe, hyperbole, personification, simile, etc.

Simile has to do with the comparison of two things by using the word; as or like.

Hence, the type of figurative language used in the above write-up is simile.

Identify What universal themes does Homer explore in the Odyssey? Choose two events from either Part One or Part Two, and explai
xeze [42]

Answer and Explanation:

As you may already know, "Odyssey" is an epic story written, probably, by Homer. The story takes place in Greece, during the Trojan War and we learn about the achievements and adventures of the hero Odysseus and his attempts to return home.

In part I of this story, we are introduced to topics such as cunning and fidelity. Cunning is presented through Odisseuy's deeds, which is the main characteristic of this hero. Cunning is presented at all times in the work, pointing Odysseus as someone who is courageous, daring and intelligent. Fidelity, on the other hand, is presented through Odysseus' remorse for not being faithful to his wife during many moments in his adventures.

Part II of this work presents other themes such as character flaws and hospitality. The character flaw is also a great feature of Odysseus and shows how imperfect the hero is, in addition to humanizing him and allowing readers to identify with him. The hospitality is due to Odisseu's wife, who needs to receive in her home many suitors who bother her and destroy her family's patrimony.
