Which part of this excerpt from To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee is an example of metaphor?

1 answer:

3 0

The line that states, "courage is a man with a gun in his hand." It is a metaphor because Lee is not comparing courage to a man with a gun with "like" or "as." Instead, she uses "is", as if she is enforcing the fact that courage IS a man with a gun. That kind of bluntness is only in a metaphor, as the author gives no room for debate.

Select the aphorism that best expresses the following sentiment: Be careful to whom you tell your secrets because they can betra

Alex787 [66]

Answer:

To whom thy secret thou dost tell, to him thy freedom thou dost sell.

Explanation:

An aphorism is a saying, proverb, or maxim that expresses a general truth or life principle. They are also taken, at times, as mottos or ideals of life.

The given aphorism "Be careful to whom you tell your secrets because they can betray you" can be best expressed by the saying "to whom thy secret thou dost tell, to him thy freedom thou dost sell". This sentence expresses the same sentiment of being careful about telling one's secrets to anyone, for it is the same as giving them the keys to one's happiness or sadness, one's freedom. They can either keep the secret and give you freedom or reveal the secrets and ruin you.

Thus, the correct answer is the last/ fourth option.
