1 answer:

7 0

He described Americans from various social classes and professions in order to develop his ideas of democracy and equality.
His poem, Song of Myself, celebrates his own being, as well as other people's. He wanted to include as many social classes as possible so as to show how people are equal no matter which social class they belong to, or job they have - they are all people, and by extension, equal.

Answer:

Simile ↔ C) My phone slipped through my fingers like butter.

Personification ↔ D) The face of my phone had many scars from being dropped.

Symbol ↔ A) I wanted to wave the white flag after searching for my phone.

Hyperbole ↔ E) My phone is my lifeline to the world.

Metaphor ↔ B) I wouldn't trade my phone for a million dollars.

Explanation:

Whatever I underlined is supposed to hint at why each sentence matches the way it does.

For example: Similes compare ideas to each other, sort of like metaphors do, but they use the words "like" or "as" to do so.

Hope this makes sense :)

Explain the poetic. You don't have to feel like a waste of space

agasfer [191]

The words “You don’t have to feel like a waste of space” meaning that you yourself are worth something so you are not a waste. “You are original, cannot be replaced” it means you are the only one out there. Nobody is exactly like you, so if you disappear no replica can be made. “If you only knew what the future holds” means that there is a lot of potential for you and it gets better in the future. “After a hurricane comes a rainbow” meaning that it always gets worse before it gets better. So in all it starts from telling you, you are something and someone and to keep in mind that it will be worse but in the future the rainbow will show the light of how it gets better.

I hope I explained well~~~

Answer and Explanation:

Monica: I was in New York last week. Adam: Really?

Monica: Yes, I was and I loved it! I had a good time. You ever?

Adam: No, I haven't. I travelled few years ago, but I didn't go there? I visited some friends in San Francisco and I've not gone to the USA since then. What did you do in New York? Monica: I ate lots of souvenirs. I saw a show on Broadway, and I bought stuff.

Adam: Where?

Monica: At a hotel in Manhattan I stayed? forgotten its name.

Adam: Did it cost a lot to stay there? Monica: No, it was free. I won the holiday in a competition.

Adam: You're lucky! I've never won anything!

I have corrected and filled the sentences as much as possible using the correct grammatical forms of the words in brackets(also filled out incomplete sentences) as used in the sentence and also punctuated the sentences correctly.
