Hyperbole because he is not actually a black sheep.
Answer: I'd choose
'Tommy is an imaginative boy who yearns or adventure.'
Explanation: My reasoning is he goes into more depth about wanting to be on the ship and what adventures he'd have and how he'd seek his fortune and his more 'imaginative' wording instead of talking about his hometown, or knowing more about ships at his age because it does not mention other boys his age, and Tommy spends to much time at the rivers edge watching ships isn't exactly what your supposed to get from the paragraph, I mean yeah you could, but it isn't the best answer/the one they are looking for.
Answer:
He experimented a division within himself, he thought about his Job and burning books, he considered himself a fool. He also thought about Faber the old man who did not agree on burning books but couldn't do anything to stop it.
Explanation:
The division he experimented had to do with the fact that he was changed, he was not sure about his job. He did not agree on burning books, he was changed because he met Clarisse and she showed him things about book and imagination.
His job no longer had sense for him, he was divided because his job was something that had terrible inmplications in society. To burn books was something that affected all and he had second thoughts about it. Faber adviced him not to tell anything but he couldn't settle himself with that.
I think it allows the readers to understand the same situation from different viewpoints. We are not only given Auggie’s account of the things that take place in the story because when the point of view is changed we see the other characters’ thoughts and feelings in multiple instances. I believe the author does this to highlight the fact that although Auggie feels as though he’s suffering alone, there are other characters who both empathize and victimize him. This mirrors one the overall messages of the book that no matter how alone one may feel, there are people out there who share your experience and want to help.
